I've somehow managed to destroy most of my good, expensive crystal wine goblets (yeah, I admit it. I knocked them over & broke them), and I don't want to spend a couple hundred dollars to replace them yet. But I still have wine to drink.
So I broke down & got some PLASTIC wine glasses. (8 for $20!). Should I hang my head in shame?

That's basically the same as what you paid for plastic.

Plastic & wine-yeah burn the card.
The Goodwill near me has so many dishes. Wine glasses included.
Much fancier too. I've seen lots of fine china and crystal there.

(55,003 posts)any cheap glass beats overpriced plastic almost every time. possible exception is in a swimming pool, but pools are for beer and girly drinks anyway.

Why dirty a glass?
