Perfect for everyday use and an amazing value at 8 glasses for the price of 6, the eight extra-large red-wine glasses in this set are part of the moderately priced Ouverture series offered by world-renowned wineglass maker Riedel Crystal. Made of lead-free crystal and machine blown, these glasses are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedel’s exacting standards, so wine flows easily onto the palate. Each glass stands 7-7/8 inches high, and their large bowls help release the wine’s aroma for full enjoyment. Though glasses shaped and sized for different types of wine seem a tradition today, Riedel was the pioneer of this revolutionary concept, which has created a lasting effect on the globe’s wine culture.

These glasses seem very well made, with cut and well polished rims,(not sharp,…
View CommentPerfect for the vacation house These exceeded my expectations. They are sturdy, stable and still nice enough for company. The base is shorter so they don’t tip easily, good for parties or the patio table. There is a seam where the bowl meets the base, and I can feel it with my thumb when holding the glass, but the bowls and rims are still Riedel-thin, and there is no ugly seam down the side of the stem. Not quite the same to drink from as my more expensive and fragile lead crystal Vinums of course – years ago I got full…
View CommentGreat “everyday” glasses and a decanter to boot Love these glasses. We used them as our everday drinking glasses and they work well for both reds and whites. The bowl is a great size for swirling, and the glasses really have a great feel to them. I like the fact that the stem isn’t too long. I find that lots of restaurants and such have gone with really long stems, and for some reason, I just don’t like them, so the stems on these are great.Haven’t used the decanter that much yet, however I know when we have more friends over,…
