Sadly very limited. There are no wine glasses that I am aware of but Lemar during the summer period do have plastic tumblers. More suitable for children and quite ugly. Ikea other side last year had wine glasses and champagne flutes. Jumbo had lovely tumblers all plastic. Otherwise it is a UK job and get your friends to bring over. Happy hunting

Just to add to maria1's comments - the 'glasses' are not actually unbreakable, although they do tend to bounce but at least they don't shatter into sharp pieces, and lie in wait for your feet...

In the same vein - be wary of melamine plates & cups - there really is no advantage to using those outside on hard surfaces, as they are liable to shatter and present as big a hazard as porcelain / china.
