We've had ours quite a while now and use them frequently. None have broken yet. We wash them in the dishwasher, too. I'm still very, very happy with these glasses. Still look like new!

these glasses are pretty sturdy, here they are used for all occasions from breakfast to bed time. Almost every one remarks on their simple elegance. one was broken when they arrived, called Libby, they were so nice to deal with and replaced the glass immediately.

We have been using these regularly for a year or so. They all intact so far. We wash them in the dishwasher too.

These are very sturdy. I have had them over a year, use them nearly every day, wash them in the dishwasher and haven't lost one. :)

I think these glasses are very sturdy. I have not had any issues with breakage. I have a friend who uses the same glasses in their pub and they are also pleased with these glasses.

They do all right in a dishwasher, so I imagine they could handle hot drinks. (If they get banged around in the dishwasher they will eventually chip or break. I've had four different sizes and the wine glasses too for about five years and I've mostly lost the 10 oz. to breaks and chips.)

Hi,They are glass, but, very, very basic. I purchased them for a casual party and I am now inclined to just give them away or toss them out. They are not special. I differ in the previous person's assessment of the glasses. Of course, I love Baccarat crystal glasses so I am probably being on fair in comparing apples to oranges. So you may want to consider your needs. For a simple casual party, they were nicer than plastic BUT not too much better than that.

I bought these glasses in order to use 9 of them as glasses and break one for a video assignment in an art class. I hit this glass hard with a hammer twice and couldn't break it. Totally ruined my project, but to answer your questions, these glasses are damn sturdy.

Robin, I can't endorse these wine glasses as being any sort of sensory pleasure to experience. They are a sound investment if you don't want them to break when dropped from a picnic table on to a wooden deck or brick patio, but that's about it. They do cloud with age and washing. They also scratch if not washed with a proper soft cloth or sponge. Good luck with your search, but I don't think you're looking for polycarbonate glasses. Cheers.

they aren't PERFECTLY smooth,but they can be defined "smooth".I can strongly suggest these glasses .I'm 52 yrs old and I went through many kind of glasses in my houseold and these are the best.Strong,sturdy right size stay always beatiful in the dishwasher never get chipped.

I believe so... we have dropped these into the sink and even the floor twice and they bounced around and did not break or chip. With the abuse these glasses take and the fact that none of them are chipped makes me think they are tempered - at the very least they are quite tough.

I don't think so. Unless the wine glasses are long and slim. Plus, I would be worried that the stems might bang into each other and break.

I think they can withstand heat; just not from cold to hot. I think most glass is like that.

So far they seem to be very sturdy to me. We've had 2 of our pairs for 4-6 months and they look brand new. I don't recommend them for doing dishes as they are not grippy enough and glass things will be hard to hold on to. I don't recommend you run them through the dishwasher, though.

Sturdy. We're hard on these glasses using them daily and into the dishwasher. Only have broken one (in dishwasher) since owning them probably almost a year - pretty good for us.

Definitely thicker than a wine glass, but similar in thickness to a normal water glass. The weight of the plastic glass is similar to glass if that gives you any indication. I have used these recently with guests and they were surprised it was plastic.

The instructions say not to use anything stronger than 30 proof, or 15% alcohol. This means anything stronger will ruin them! So I don't use them staight for wine or stronger. But I do use them for mixed drinks and so far no problems. I use glass for stronger drinks which is rare for me.

Yes, very. They are pretty tough. I use them for catering and we bang em around pretty good...they are really elegant in person. I love them.

I compared the thickness to a Solo disposable drinking cupand it's about the same. (Thicker than the rim of a soda bottle and thinner than the rim on a wine bottle) Hope that helps. :) I was just hoping they were a little thinner when I ordered them.The quality is very nice though, ran through dishwasher, NP.

Hi there. The answer to your question is yes they will hold your wine glasses but...not if you are under way. If you are anchored in a cove or docked at a quiet dock, then yes they will be fine. But I would not recommend them for your wine glasses. Also, they are very very basic. I have had to replace them a couple of times from breaking while going over a large wake with a full bottle of water sitting in them. Hope that helps.

Yes, I stack them 2 or 3 high in my cabinet. They are thick enough that I don't worry about breakage like I have with other glasses.
