Save or Splurge? Glassware sturdy enough for the great outdoors

Get ready for evening aperitifs on the patio with goblets and glasses that will withstand anything

The glasses from Penneys, left, and the Next set, right.

The chance to relax outdoors might only happen for a day or two before the showers return, but we’re adept at making the most of it when the garden dries and the sun comes out.

SAVE 

This set of four ribbed shatterproof wine goblets from Penneys is €5. They look like real glass and add a touch of colour to all-white tableware.

SPLURGE 

Next’s jewel-toned set of four shatterproof glasses includes vibrant yellow and teal tints for tabletop drama, €26.
