Do you know how these compare to the Govino unbreakable stemless wine glasses?

Yes they are a bit better because they really can be washed in the upper rack of the dishwasher without warping - the Govino warps on the upper rack.

I bought them for a gift, so I'm not sure. I would think glasses with stems would be the safest.

Best of luck finding them below a vendor cost this year... wholesale prices are more than that .. and there is no such thing as free freight (the vendor pays) Last year there was a closeout that Amazon may have taken advantage of .. this year there is a quality Italian glass shortage, which explains why this item was not even available for months .. last years closeout prices have nothing to do with current replacement costs... this price is below the retail stores prices - delivered. UPDATE... Amazon again made a regular purchase and priced them per their last years closeout - they have no clue they are selling these below wholesale cost (look at their suggested retail) ... as a vendor for Bormioli - these type things get my blood boiling - but as a consumer I would say GRAB all you can .. they are below wholesale costs.

The glasses have taken quite a beating for me from rocks, sand, insects. they have not scratched nor cracked. Dust and sand will however creep in through the vents and make riding difficult if the particles are small enough. these are not air tight.

Hi Sue. I wouldn't describe them as "thick" but their also not too thin. Average wine glass thickness. Definitely lighter than glass. I hope that is helpful.Sunshine Value Products, Sunny

they are the same hard plastic as 9 oz. disposable wine cups or plates..I'd say no!..how in the world would they make it through the dishwasher? or washing by hand would be exhausting for a decent sized party. They are soo inexpensive..why bother? For reuse buy the porcelain ones...and hope you have a good tiny rack in your dishwasher!

I don't have any idea on the comparison as I don't have the Picardie ones, but they do stack. They don't stack perfectly but well enough. And they are quite small, great for toddlers but not much else. The 7 ounce Gigogne glasses are more practical for kids older than 3 and for juice glasses. I have both.

Have had mine since before Christmas 2013 and they are holding up very well, the arms are flexible so no problems with breakage. The only problem I have seen is with the band that holds the glasses in place tore so they don't work anymore.

I have owned these glasses for some time now and really like them. The stem is not hollow. They work well in the dishwasher.

Absolutely good for wine. The double wall is thermal protection so white wines would remain chilled, and would not be affected by the warmth of your hand or external temps. Red wine, likewise, would remain stable and not warm unduly from the warmth of your hand. Of course these glasses don't have stems, so they won't look like your traditional wine glass.

I have a few Rastal ones and a few others that I have purchased on Amazon. The ones here on Amazon are unlabeled but are just as good of quality as the Rastal Teku glasses. I highly recommend these.

Jill-I was looking at these shot glasses for the same exact reason. My wedding is by a pool and we cannot have glass. What did you end up using instead of these shot glasses? I would love some suggestions. Thank you!

These are quite different to the Riedel Vinum series. If you don't want to spend the money on Vinum, go with the Stolzle Classic Red wine glassware at a similar price. The Stolzle is a similar price point and almost indistinguishable from Riedel Vinum. They have a traditional "sound" or clink that you would expect from a thin crystal glass.

They are great for both. Love them for parties because of no stem and chatter proof.

I have both. The sphere molds are mostly aesthetic, in my opinion, but nice in a rocks glass.

The 6 oz glasses are about 3 1/4 inches tall. You might want to look at the Duralex Picardie glasses instead. I've dropped a couple of the Bormioli glasses. They break into very small sharp shards. I've replaced most of mine with the Duralex glasses. They have been dropped without breaking.

I am sorry, but I really have no idea.I can say that these glasses are holding up really well and looking good even with daily use and lots of washing in the dishwasher. I hope that helps!
