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 Stemware (as an option) may not even be considered. As it turns out, the cost of renting glass stemware, such as the Champagne Flute is actually LESS than buying disposable plastic (at less than 50 cents each, how can you go wrong?), and you can have it delivered right to your door!

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.

Disposable Plastic stemware must be assembled, and when you are holding your plastic champagne flute, the bottom can fall off. This means you cannot put your glass down, which may be OK, if you really like champagne, but poses a problem when you need both your hands to hold your plate and get more of those delicious New Years Eve appetizers.

CHEERS !
The feel of a glass champagne flute, with the heavier weight in your hand and thicker rim when you sip makes a difference in your enjoyment of the New Years toast.  Think back to the last time you picked up a piece of disposable plastic stemware.  Did you get a feeling of high expectation about the beverage and the event?  When you “clink” glasses, does it ring with that festive sound? or sound more like a dull “clunk”?

You could buy the stemware for a New Years Eve party or other important event.  If the money is not a problem, storage space may be.  Storing different pieces of stemware would require plenty of cabinet space that could otherwise be used for kitchen appliances and food items.  Renting the specific stemware and glassware needed for a particular party or event is a great space-saving tactic for your home or event venue. It also saves you from having to wash, dry and buff them - before (because of “storage dust”) - and after events.

So, be greener by keeping that disposable plastic stemware out of land fills (not everyone recycles - especially after a New Years Party). Save money (another kind of being green): with the less costly stemware rental, not to mention the water/sewer, electricity, and dishwasher soap expenses. And - Save time from the chore of glassware cleaning - just dump the liquid in the sink and put the stemware back in the glass rack - your party/event rental company will pick them up and wash & buff them to make them ready for the next time you need them. Just think of all the storage space you will gain !
