STEMWARE: Plastic or Glass? - Rent or Buy?
Pin It Usually, the thought process involves whether to buy glass stemware, or save money and buy disposable plastic stemware. Renting S temware (as an option) may not even be considered.

Don’t get me wrong, plastic disposable stemware can be useful on trips and vacations as well as pool-side ( glass is no fun when it breaks there ). It is sold as two-pieces, stores compactly and can be thrown away, so it does not matter if it gets broken. But, for your local parties and events, it does not make sense . If you decide to go this route anyway, make sure to buy more than you think you need. Your guests will throw them out and get a new one for their next drink because they know they are disposable.
