Wine tastes so much better out of a proper glass, I've bought cheap ones from tescos, it fits inside the larger plastic tumblers I have for the kids, so quite protected in my box with a tea towel on top.  Never broken one yet!

I use plastic wine glasses. I'd prefer to use proper glass ones but worry about one getting accidentally smashed: not in transit but on the pitch. Broken glass and camping doesn't sound like a very good mix to me! OK to use glasses inside your tent or van I guess as then its at your own risk, but I prefer to sit outside. MT

thanks guys, I like the idea of a straw and wine bottle, but the thought of a spinning tent puts me off. Cannot use real glass, far too clumsy when i've had one or two.

I use the disposable plasic ones for safety.   When we were away in May, we took some cheap tumblers, had a couple on the table, poor Pip fell off his bike, knocking the table flying, we spent ages looking for pieces of glass.    Fortunately he wan't cut - just upset because he'd fallen, and things had broken.
I just buy ten for £1.09, which will withstand washing.   Then if they do get broken I don't have any worries.   If one pack last me the week, and I need to replace, its not going to break the bank either.

Hi,

Wifey has just bought a pair of plastic wine glasses from asda, I think they were only £2.25 for the pair, and they are fine, and hold half a bottle! The plastic is quite thin so they are nice to drink out of. Too many young children in our group so glass is out of the question!

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

Proper glass for me.   They travel, and have done for 5 years, in a small capacity rigid cool box.
