I have stainless steel wine glasses. They're great, better than glass, but I guess you can't really call them glasses.

Some people use the stubby holders around their glasses to prevent breakage.

Maybe they could be called "Stasses" smile

Drink from the bottle....problem solved!

I have some upside down wineglass holders in my van. One day going down the highway, one exploded all by itself. Gave me quite a fright. The other one exploded when I dropped it in sand. Vibrations must have made them brittle or may have been just the type of glass.

Cheers,

I prefer to use the type of glass that they use at wineries for tasting.

You can often can pick them up at Lifeline & similar op shops for round $1 each. I now have a couple of dozen. The beauty of this shape is that they are OK for red, white & sparkling wines, individually of course .. but you could try mixing them if you are that way inclined ... maybe a sparkling rose/ pink shiraz. Only problem is that they keep getting empty. Must be the hole at the top.

The attached picture shows the racks that I have had installed for over 10yrs. Got them from Camec. Use them inside cupboards for cups too.

They work well & have only broken/chipped one glass by pushing it too far down & it must have kept bumping on the top of the range hood & chipped the lip.

Northcoach have one that we've been using for four years with no breakages at all:

They're only $10 per double holder; ours are white.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I have been giving a lot of thought to the stainless steel ones. I am inclined to go with them.
Steve has decided that the place I wanted to put the holders he wants to use for extending the LED lighting above the dining table.

Once again Thank you all

Goodonya Robyn... ours are stainless steel too, no worries, keeps your drink cool, just not glamorous. (Who cares about glamour when you are out in the bush?) . I met a couple who used Pewter goblets but they had dents in them, as pewter is soft!

I use a stainless steel one at home too, I love it. You can find them cheap at Garage Sales and Op shops sometimes.

I seen a lady on the road with a pewter or stainless wine glass she had bought at an op shop. I made it my mission to find one but alas, after a few months searching I gave up.

One of my girls bought me a lovely pewter one for Xmas with my name and "happy travels" engraved on it.

They told her it was soft and did she want a different metal but she went with that one and I keep it in the original box in the cupboard.

Beautiful to drink from and as Gerty says, keeps the wine nice and cold.

I do love glass for wine, can't go with the plastic ones but this is a brilliant alternative.

Put your Xmas order in Robyn. wink

Has anyone got any ideas as to where we maybe able to find wine glass holders for our wine glasses, I would like to have the ones that are in bars where the glasses hang upside down as I feel we have the perfect place for them.
Thanks in advance
Robyn & Steve

if the wine glasses are hanging upside down you would have to drink the wine off of the floor biggrin

jetj · Guru

There was quite a few silver ones at a garage sale today for cheap, but they need constant cleaning, stainless is much better.

mongrel · Guru

im only a anewbie but i am enjoying your comments and part of being a mongrel allows me to drink from the floor but only the good stuff ha ha !

Cupie · Guru

Might be my grumpy hour ... But I see it all as a bit of a beat up.

I have no trouble carrying reasonably good quality glasses & a few crystal tumblers in the spring fingers shown in my previous post.

In the main you are going to be drinking goom out of casks anyway! So what's the issue? Just find a nice shady tree, tear off the cardboard box & pass the inner around. No glasses needed.

Some French & Portugese do it with bladders & some Australians do it my way. Don't bung it on!

cheers .. G
