Those are REALLY good if you can find them in the UK. We've had two for about 19 years (got them as a wedding present!) and they are still going strong. One has just developed a hairline crack, but it still doesn't leak from it.
The company is American and their website page for these is
https://gsioutdoors.com/shop-by-function/partyware.html
and they now do several types (red wine, white wine and whiskey snifter).
But although they seem to have a dealer network in Germany Poland and Scamdinavia, there's nothing closer and they don't even sell direct to Canadian addresses!
If you find them in the UK, please post here.
Amazon UK have GSI stuff. Quite expensive but very good.

Excellent gear is GSI. Most of cookware & eat ware is GSI. We had the plastic wine glasses but now have the stainless steel ones for wine & tumblers for G&T.
I stick a couple of wine glasses in my clothes bag and so far they have never broken...there is something just not right about drinking wine out of plastic glasses. I also have a couple of tough glasses for beer which reside in my general camping box and have never broken yet.
We had plastics for the children, but a little decadent perhaps as glass only for us! Got fed up of (un)wrapping them so I made a simple wood plate with holes in where they travel and store safely - and no, none broken yet..
We bought some of the Quest wine glasses from Go Outdoors. They are very good, heavy, sturdy and don’t really feel (or taste) like you are drinking from plastic.
The stem screws off and stores in the glass so they fit well inside mugs in our campervan drawer. They have been on picnics and in aeroplane luggage too and seem unbreakable.
