FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Govino glasses really shatterproof?
Yes! Govino glassware is crafted from a flexible, ultra-clear polymer that won't shatter if dropped or knocked over. You get the look and feel of fine glassware without the worry - perfect for picnics, the beach, safaris, poolside, stadiums and anywhere glass isn't practical (or allowed).
Are they plastic? Do they contain BPA?
Govino glasses are made in the USA from BPA-free Tritan, a premium, food-safe copolyester with the clarity of fine crystal. They are tougher than glass or ordinary plastic, and designed by sommeliers to enhance the aromas and body of your wine, not your average plastic cup.
Are they dishwasher safe?
Yes, the whole range is dishwasher safe. For the longest life and clearest finish, we recommend the top rack of your dishwasher, or a gentle hand wash in warm soapy water.
What size are the glasses?
Each Govino is generously sized: the Wine glass holds about 475 ml, the Flute about 270 ml, the Can about 475 ml, and the Rocks tumbler about 355 ml.
Where are Govino glasses made?
Govino is proudly made in the USA and brought to you locally by Govino SA.
What is the thumb notch for?
That's Govino's signature feature! The ergonomic thumb notch gives you a secure, comfortable grip - replacing the stem of a traditional wine glass while keeping the swirl-and-sip experience intact.
Can I put my brand or logo on Govino glasses?
Absolutely. We offer custom branding across our range - a favourite for weddings, corporate gifts, wine farms, events and venues. Get in touch and we'll help you create something special.
