I have a set of 6 of the stemless acrylic glasses similar to those in Joel’s link. They work fine for casual wine consumption, and also make pretty good tumblers for mixed drinks. Not one has broken so far.
I also have 4 more traditional wine glasses made of acrylic that hang in a teak wineglass rack mounted above the short bulkhead between the galley and the salon/dining table. They are nicer for more “formal” meals, but I think the stems will break off eventually. I know it’s extra weight and slows me down when racing. So does the liquor locker in the top of the dining table. But we all have our priorities… Rick Brass Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Joel Aronson via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2014 7:12 PM To: Dennis C.; cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Wine Glasses Plain, yet functional: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/1/3/unbreakable-wine-glasses On Thu, Sep 4, 2014 at 6:50 PM, Dennis C. via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: Were they Kwarx crystal? I might have posted couple years ago about getting some Bed, Bath & Beyond store brand stemware in Kwarx. Put 4 on the boat several years ago. 3 still survive. They were identical to a Mikasa pattern. Just looked. Can't seem to find them now. Closest I could find was these: http://www.lionsdeal.com/ca-u1009.html?src=ri Dennis C.

Last week while lounging with many other boats listening to a concert (on said Trawler)some jerk in a cigarette boat kept roaring in and out of the field and rocking the s#%it out everyone, the first time knocked a bottle of wine on the sole, the third time the cupboard doors came open and a couple of those wine glasses came tumbling down. I guess they are not unbreakable. Anyways, he can’t figure where he bought them. If anyone remembers this, I would appreciate the link.
