Unbreakable wine glass??

After we had another wine glass get dropped and shatter next to the pool I have had enough. I need an unbreakable decent wine glass- can be stemmed or stemless.
I would prefer something that does not look like a plastic cup. I have tried a couple of the different polycarb glasses- but they all end up milky in a couple of uses.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Gary

On a run up Hwy 1 we stopped in cambria and found this place. Bought a couple of the wine glasses for use in the spa.

Try the Dollar Store... or the 99 Cent Store, or whatever they call it.

My girlfriend bought some stemmed plastic wine glasses there, with small batteries in the bases. When you press on the base, the base lights up with blinking colored lights. Very cool, very 1970s. They're now my favorite wine glasses. Party time!

Your problem is caused by two factors. First, you are drinking wine instead of beer. Drink beer.

Second, stay away from pools. Swim in rivers and lakes.

Neighbor got me a set of these.

Polycarbonate Red Wine Glasses Set of 4 : Target

If you just rinse them with water they will start to get cloudy. They need to be washed properly with a sponge and dish soap and they stay nice and clear.

Have had them a year or so, use them every day.

If you break a clear glass in a pool, the only way to really find it is to drain the pool, unless you want someone to find it with their foot.

I like the box idea!
At least it was far enough from the pool to be manageable - this time. Had one break in the hottub a couple of years ago, at least that was easier to drain. Beer may be the answer.
Thanks

Govino plastic wine glasses. We have bought them to use for our wine & pizza nights at several trade shows. The wine can breathe & you can throw the glasses at each other. Available at better wine stores.

We buy the boxed stuff for our daily wine. Some of it's pretty good.

We like it cause you can have a glass whenever you want.

Once open it does not go bad.

I haven't seen a Pier I store in a while but I remember a friend throwing me a wine glass in the store. I about crapped when I missed catching it only to see it bounce off the floor. They had a lot of different plastic glasses of all shapes and sizes.
