Shatterproof & Unbreakable Wine Glasses
Searching for nice plastic glasses that don't feel like a kids' party cup? Govino makes fancy plastic glasses and shatterproof drinkware that look and feel like fine crystal — yet they bend instead of break. If you want unbreakable glasses for real life, here's how to choose well.
Are plastic wine glasses any good?
The cheap ones aren't — the good ones genuinely are. Govino glasses are moulded from a flexible, BPA-free polymer that's crystal-clear, with a thin, elegant rim and a signature thumb-notch that makes the glass a pleasure to hold. From across the table, nobody can tell it isn't glass. The difference shows the moment one slips out of your hand: it bounces.
What makes a glass truly unbreakable?
- Shatterproof material — it flexes on impact instead of smashing, so there's no broken glass to clean up.
- BPA-free & food-safe — no plastic taste, nothing nasty leaching into your wine.
- Reusable, not disposable — use it again and again, rinse, and pack it away.
- Looks like real glass — a fine rim and clarity that reads as crystal, not picnic cup.
- Lightweight — easy to carry a stack anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Are Govino glasses really unbreakable?
They're shatterproof: the flexible material bends on impact rather than smashing, so a drop won't leave you sweeping up broken glass. That's what makes them ideal for pools, boats and braais.
Do plastic wine glasses affect the taste of wine?
Good ones don't. Govino glasses are BPA-free and food-safe, so there's no plastic taste — just your wine, in a glass shaped to show it off.
Are these reusable or single-use?
Fully reusable. Rinse them, pack them, and use them again — a far better choice than disposable cups for both your table and the planet.
Are shatterproof glasses good enough for nice wine?
Yes. The bowl shape and fine rim are designed for wine, so you get the aromatics and elegance of a real glass with none of the fragility.
