Acrylic wine glasses are a cheap and durable alternative to real glass, with a variety of styles and designs available. However, they are not environmentally friendly and may scratch or fade over time. They are stackable and impact resistant, making them ideal for parties. Real glass is a better option for those looking for reusable and aesthetically pleasing glasses.
Acrylic wine glasses are a lightweight, durable and inexpensive alternative to real glass. Glasses can come in a variety of shapes, styles, designs, colors, and so on, making it even easier to throw a party at a lower cost. The cheap plastic used to make acrylic wine glasses cuts costs, but this plastic will have a different feel than glass; some users may not like the feel and weight of acrylic, and acrylic is certainly not the greenest choice for glassware. If a party planner needs an inexpensive and possibly even disposable option, however, acrylic is a good choice.
The styles and designs of acrylic wine glasses can vary significantly, as acrylic is very easy to mold into different shapes and sizes. Acrylic wine glasses can feature distinct colors, etched designs, shapes and so on which can add character to a party decor. Glasses can also be shaped to simply mimic the look of real glass, although acrylic wine glasses will feel distinctly different from real glass. Acrylic can be washed easily with soap and water, although after some time and repeated washing, acrylic can scratch and fade, detracting from the overall aesthetics of the eyewear.
In some cases, acrylic wine glasses are stackable for easy transportation and storage. This is useful if the glasses will be used on more than one occasion and need to be moved or stored between events. These glasses are also perfect for larger events where a party patron is likely to drop their glass. Acrylic is generally impact resistant, and if the glass should break anyway, it’s cheap to replace. These glasses are often disposable, so if the acrylic breaks, the owner hasn’t lost much of an investment.
Acrylic is a type of plastic, which is certainly not the most environmentally friendly choice of glassware, particularly if the owner plans to simply dispose of the acrylic glassware after one or two uses. Glass is more easily recycled and will typically last longer than acrylic glass when cared for properly. A person looking for glasses that can be reused over and over again may want to consider real glass, as it is aesthetically pleasing and won’t fade or scratch as quickly or easily as acrylic wine glasses.
