Party glasses combine form and function

Silicone glasses classy enough for fancy dinners are also unbreakable, suiting even the most rowdy parties.

Cups and glasses made of silicone have been around for quite some time, often featuring bright colors and fancy styles.

Oregon-based Snow Peak, on the other hand, opted for a more sophisticated and subdued look, offering silicone party drinkware resembling a highball or rocks glass or wine tumbler. Each piece retails between $24 and $27.

Silicone drinkware is gaining ground for several reasons, foremost of which is the ease of portability sans the risk of breakage. Products also weigh less than traditional drinking glasses, and can be used to hold both hot and cold beverages. One promotional wine tumbler from China can even be placed in the freezer.
