Why this product earns its place
Wine service at outdoor events presents a particular problem: real glass wine glasses break, and the conversation shifts from the wine to the broken pieces. Olympia Kristallon polycarbonate wine glasses solve this. At 190mm tall with an 80mm diameter bowl, these have the proportions that guests recognise as wine glassware. The 275ml capacity suits standard wine pours—red or white—with room for movement and aeration without spillage.
Polycarbonate looks indistinguishable from glass in a service setting. The material is clear, transparent, and stays that way through repeated washing; it doesn't yellow or cloud as older plastics do. For outdoor weddings, garden parties, and marquee service, shatter-proof is a genuine advantage—you eliminate broken glass risk entirely, which means no liability concerns and no service interruption from cleaning up.
These are built for professional use. Dishwasher safe and rated for approximately 500 wash cycles, they're durable enough for commercial venue rotation or regular catering use. The stem construction gives you a proper wine glass feel; there's no compromise in the hand or the look on the table. The light weight (around 10.7 grams per glass) means staff can carry and serve them easily throughout a service.
