The shatterproof Govino wine glasses are actually not made of glass but "food-safe, BPA-free polymer" that makes the glass look like crystal.
Complete with champagne flutes, cocktail glasses, red and white wine glasses and a decanter, the Govino wine glasses have a slight divot in the lower part of the glass, which makes it easy for users to grip when drinking from these stemless goblets. Because of their durable nature, these items can be brought along on cottage or camping trips without the fear of breakage or sharp accidents. Although reusable, the shatterproof glassware is actually recyclable. Since the wine set is not actually made of glass, Govino recommends users to replace them at least once a year, but for the less frequent drinkers, a more extend period may be plausible.
