Get a grip: Govino wine glasses have a handy dent. Made of plastic, they’re unbreakable and reusable.
This tulip-shaped, stemless glass is elegant yet shatterproof.
March 26, 2008

It's the dilemma of the picnic season: go with glassware for that bottle of Beaujolais, or play it safe with disposables? This reusable plastic glass offers a practical solution. The tulip-shaped, stemless glass is elegant yet shatterproof -- so you can wedge it between the salumi and cheese without worries. Eating with your fingers? No problem. There's a handy thumb indention so slightly slippery hands can keep a grip.

Govino glass, about $2 each, at Wally's Wine & Spirits in Los Angeles, www.wallywine.com; Wine House in West Los Angeles, www.winehouse and Silverlake Wine in Los Angeles, www.silverlakewine.com.
