Drinking vessels

[namwaldog]

I'm just trying to gain a consensus on Fun as to the use of either glass or acrylic drinking vessels. We currently use acrylic but would much prefer to drink from glass. Anyone any advice as to storage, safety etc whilst using glass?

Glass. How can anyone enjoy wine /beer /spirits in anything but a thin glass.!

 

[old-mo]

Glass... Bubble wrapped...

 

[Puddleduck]

Hate acrylic so we always use glass. I have put pipe insulation collars around ours so they don't rattle and there is a bit of protection against breakage.

We also have pottery plates and mugs.

Glass every time....and real Crockery.

GLASS

 

[big bertha]

I have glass for my wine, hubby quite happy with acrylic for wine and straight from the can or bottle for beer, I usually pour my lager into an acrylic glass. Pottery mugs but plastic plates.

 

[Ockerron]

Definitely glass! Used acrylic for years whilst caravanning, but really never liked it. I have found that bubble wrap envelopes are perfect, just slip each glass into one and job done. Then I have a plastic basket that fits onto a shelf in the kitchen and I pop all the mugs and glasses in that for travelling.

Glass, and it has to be the correct glass for what am drinking. Wrapped in the odd socks that we keep finding in the washing machine.

glass and Denby pottery plates, we don't use plastic at home, so why when away

 

[Tootles]

Brown paper bag......... Its a habit I picked up in re-hab.

 

[Ockerron]

These are the things I use....cheap as chips off eBay!

To wrap my glasses in, not to drink out of, obviously. Saw Tootles was about and thought I should add that!

Glass, do not wrap and never broke one in transit, several gave up their lives when being used.

 

[Neilfg]

Glass, tried acrylic not great. Do use acylic plates and bowls, would prefer china though.

Glass and real crockery and proper knives and forks. Cookware is home stuff but the cheap stuff because it's thinner and lighter. plates go in a plate rack, everything else just put in the cupboard. The cupboard is lined with the non slip stuff from the pound shop.

In over 8 years tugging and moho I've only had one glass break on the move...

 

[davidbaldam]

Glass for us too, if you buy your wine glasses in, say, a box of four then do as we do and keep them in the box while traveling.

 

[Tootles]

In over 8 years I've only had one glass break on the move...

.........And that was the bottle you were drinking out of on the M6.

No... I don't drink out of a bottle, that's why we have glasses

What a way to go though.......in the service of humanity

 

[Bertie Bassett]

Always glass for the beer/wine (not allowed any spirit as it makes me attack all the Germans on site) but Mrs BB has become very taken by Corelle plates etc...................who am I to argue?

 

[Jeannette van den Oever]

The kids do ALL the washing up, so it's polycarbonate stuff in the MH for us. However, if I was on a 'grown-ups' only trip, I'd definitely use glass.
The cocktail cabinet in our van has such a strong magnet - I find it hard (read nigh on impossible) to pull it open IN the 'open' position. I obviously have muscles like sparrows' kneecaps!

 

[Wildbill]

another thing we get is bone china sets Frome charity shops cheep as chips if it brakes when you don't have enough throw out what's left get another set

Edit: WE don't want to have to share....................... but you have to admit Gerri the van beats a shop doorway any night of the week.

Acrylic. Would prefer glass but we would end up with too many breakages.

Drinking GLASSESS, China mugs, corelle plates.
We smashed a boxfull of mugs moving from overnighting at the ferry to driving onto it. Took a lovely chip out of the worktop too. Someone hadn't ensured the latch caught on the cupboard after breakfast
Looked like a Greek restaurant in the (then) caravan

 

[Granjan]

We use these one for china beakers and one for wine glasses

Denby china plates that travel inside cloth bags that were hanging around the house. Plenty clean tea towels too that pad out and get used.
