I feel like I am always writing about my love affair with wine and cool eco-accoutrements that go along with it. A glass of wine is the simplest of pleasures, an elixir of love, a remover of stress, a forger of friendships and something I enjoy sharing with people.

However, because I’m always sharing a glass of wine with others, I’m always at a loss for a “pair” of the same glasses due to unpremeditated accidents, i.e. glasses being dropped, knocked over and broken.

Sea Stone Wine Glasses

That’s why the idea of sturdy wine glasses really appeals to me. I just came across these awesome glasses made from recycled glass and sea stones. If you were wondering where your bottles and various broken pieces of glass go after you’ve dropped them in your recycling container, this should give you an idea. A simple design yet imaginative. What a creative concept and by the looks of them, I would expect they’re pretty substantial. These are perfect for a glass of wine, while sitting on a balcony, or watching the sun sink lazily over the ocean into another evening.

A set of two is available at Uncommongoods for $58.00. A bit on the hefty side, but I’m sure well worth it.

If you’re looking for a sturdy set of stem-less wine glasses, one of my favorites is the recycled glasses made from auto windshields. They’re thick and strong and super cool.

They’re also available at Uncommongoods, but with a smaller price tag. You can purchase a set of two for $22.00.
