OK, I realize this is a pretty stupid concern, but I hate the wine glasses at Beachside Villas. They are short, clunky, heavy and make me feel like I am drinking from a jelly jar!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Mad.gif" alt="" /> I know I could bring some from home, but don't want to have to worry about them breaking in the suitcase.. So, does anyone know a place on island where we could buy generic (glass!!) wine glasses for something like $1 a stem, and then leave them behind?
Or, in the alternative, has anyone bought a really cool souvenier wine glass that we could use on island and try to get back home without breaking??

So Carol are you looking for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Chianti, Chardonnay, or Riesling stemware? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

Ace Hardware, for sure. We've bought good quality Italian wine glasses there. If I recall correctly, it was 8 glasses for about $40.
If life dealt you a full house, don't complain you didn't get a royal flush.

Use an empty Heineken bottle. Pour the wine straight from the box into the bottle, you will be fine!

Thanks. I may go past there and see if they have any marked-down Regatta stuff.

Who needs a glass? When the cork comes out, it goes in the trash and you can just drink from the bottle. It, the bottle, soon finds its way into the trash along side it's cork.

It's hard to both drink at the same time that way! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

My way does promote sharing, if you are so inclined, by requiring you to pass the bottle. I don't like sharing and this method also works great for that.

I often do get two bottles, but I still don't want to share. You've heard of me, the two fisted drinker. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Carol, At dinner there is nothing better than a nice piece of stemware for your wine, but on the beach these work great. We have red tops for red wine and light blue for white so we do get confused. Another 1st world problem solved.
