“You honestly cannot tell they are plastic – perfect for outdoor dining.”
The AIOS Unbreakable Polycarbonate Jug and Set of 6 Hi-Ball Glasses from Amazon
Hosting a gathering to watch Wimbledon usually means moving the television closer to the garden doors, pouring plenty of Pimm’s, and hoping the British weather holds out. However, bringing standard kitchen glassware out onto stone patios or near garden decking can run the risk of broken glass.
Now, shoppers are snapping up a set of ‘unbreakable’ glasses and pitcher perfect for serving up a Wimbledon-worthy Pimm’s. According to Amazon, the AIOS Unbreakable Polycarbonate Jug and Set of 6 Hi-Ball Glasses offer the appearance and weight of classic highball glasses without the fragile nature of real crystal. With a standard 12oz (340ml) capacity, these tumblers are built to survive the inevitable drops and bumps of a busy household during match point.
The AIOS Unbreakable Polycarbonate Hi-Ball Glasses set is currently £26.39 on Amazon. Made from heavy-duty polycarbonate, the glasses are engineered to withstand temperature extremes from -40°C to +120°C.

One shopper wrote: “This is a marvellous jug, I used it for a Pimm’s party we had at our sheltered housing mid-summer party. Because there were lots of elderly people milling around, there was no fear that the jug might get knocked over and break if it were glass. So, a good time was had by all.”
While another added: “Excellent, as described – great for outdoors!”
Other shoppers knocked stars off, claiming the listed picture showed a Pimm’s logo on the jug, but the item they received did not. However, at the time of writing, the listing pictures of the jug show no branding or logo.
One disappointed customer wrote: “Sold as a Pimm’s jug but it isn’t. Description now says there is no logo, but I’m sure it didn’t say that when I ordered it.”
However, for shoppers looking for a sturdy, aesthetically pleasing outdoor glassware set – this appears to be a solid option for serving up those pre-match Pimm’s, which is currently 18% off on Amazon for a 70cl bottle.
