A year or so ago someone on the list mentioned some nice Break Resistant wine glasses, and I forwarded the info to my Trawler buddy, who bought them. <snip>
Ha. Even when I lived on land I didn't trust Stem Ware. The Center of Gravity is just too high. <VBG>
You can drink wine out of a plastic tumbler, and it tastes just the same. The Center of Effort is much lower. <VBG>
I don't have anything glass on the boat. The exception is the four Mexican shot glasses, which have an honored Sunbrella holder screwed into the inside of one of the galley cabinets. I've had those shot glasses for 20 years, and they're hand blown and the glass is 1/4" thick. Truthfully, I've lost two in the last few years. One went overboard, *after* I explained to someone that we were on a boat and one had to always think about where things will slide if the boat rocks. (You can't imagine how many people don't understand the concept of rocking the boat, and think that solar panels are tables just because they kinda-sorta look like one.) The other one hit the main cabin sole and shattered into a thousand shards, and that was a super bummer.
I don't even like those big plastic wine glasses that you can (or could) get at West Marine. Heck, someone gave me four of them as a gift, so I built a whole wine rack into my boat. They still fall over, and after about seven years the stem falls off. I thought about gluing them back on with JB-Weld, but sometimes you just have to call it a day.
