Sturdy Wine Glasses for Every Occasion

Furnish your bar cabinet with sturdy wine glasses from Williams Sonoma. There's a wide variety of break resistant wine glasses for daily use or entertaining. They come in sets ranging from two to 12 pieces, and some of these wine glasses can be personalized for gift-giving.

Features of Sturdy Wine Glasses

One feature all break resistant wine glasses share is durability. These glasses are a good choice for any holiday gathering, and they're ideal for patio parties. You can also use these shatter-resistant stemware pieces on an everyday basis and save the more delicate glasses for special occasions.

Many brands have wine glasses that fall into the break-resistant category. For example, Schott Zwiesel wine glasses are crafted from lead crystal that's resistant to cracks and chips. In addition, many are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. This brand has many styles available, including glasses made for specific varietals such as Merlot, Bordeaux and Sauvignon Blanc. There are sturdy champagne flutes and coupe glasses for toasting special moments.

There are also multiple break-resistant styles of wine glasses from the NUDE glassware brand. They're also made with lead-free crystal and hand-shaped for artisanal flair, plus they're designed to bring out the notes of various wine types. Some options from this brand include the NUDE Stem Zero Grace Red Wine Glass and the NUDE Stem Zero Grace Champagne Glass. Both have Ion Shielding Technology to further enhance durability.

DuraClear® is another brand that has sturdy stemware as part of its product line. Some of the glasses you may find available include the 6-piece DuraClear® Tritan Outdoor Red Wine Glasses set, which also comes in a white-wine variety. They're made from a BPA-free, food-grade shatterproof plastic that can go in the dishwasher and looks like clear crystal glass.

Stemless Break Resistant Wine Glasses

If you want a wine glass with a modern look that's versatile enough for mixed drinks, choose a stemless style. The previously mentioned DuraClear® brand has a wide range of stemless wine glasses, including clear Tritan Outdoor Stemless Wine Glasses and multicolored Tritan Bordeaux glasses from the Osteria collection, which are versatile enough to go with almost any home bar or dining room design style.

There are also stemless glasses with etched details, such as the Sonora Outdoor Etched Tritan Stemless Wine Glasses, which have a floral motif. If you want something sleek yet eye-catching, consider stemless glasses with a geometric shape. The Sol Outdoor Al Fresco Stemless Wine Glasses set is one such example that's versatile enough to complement any kitchen, bar area or outdoor entertaining space. Any stemware or stemless glasses set from Williams Sonoma is a good gift for weddings and holidays.
