Professional Review:

Generously sized and tapered toward the rims to intensify and concentrate bouquet, the six glasses in this set are perfect for serving both red and white wines. Each glass has a capacity of 14-3/4 ounces so it can hold a full serving and still have ample evaporation surface for a wine's full aroma to rise in its tapered chimney. The glasses are machine-blown of 5 percent lead crystal, providing excellent transparency and brilliance for showcasing color and clarity. Elegant, finely balanced, lightweight yet sturdy, they have thin rims to ensure smooth sipping and are dishwasher-safe. Each glass is 8-1/4 inches high. Located in a small Bavarian town that bears the company's name, Spiegelau has been making glassware for nearly 500 years. Wine glasses from Spiegelau's Authentis collection are notable for their strength and value. --Fred Brack

Summary: Perfect in all respects.
The glasses are perfect- an equal to Riedel in every aspect. The shape and lip of the glass really do affect the wine- particularly the nose. In these glasses you will discover depth and complexity previously unknown. You will always find flaws- and in doing so, learn to extend your knowledge of wine.- Also-- contrary to popular belief- Amazon.com does stock this item. I ordered 24 glasses, all were delivered within the stated time.

Summary: beware
they must be screening these, let's see if I can write without using flag words. Every week for the last eight I get a note saying that there is a problem with my o.der, every week it's a del.y, every week it's pushed further. It was supposed to be a birthday gift. This has got to be the most an.oying, disho.est way to t.eat a cus.omer

Summary: Yes, wine glasses make a difference
I bought a set of the white and red Spiegelau Wine glasses on the recommendation of an article. They are said to be no different in quality from the Riedel but are typically less expensive. The absence of a rim focuses the wine on the more sensitive front part of your tongue, and the shape of the glass focusing the bouquet of the wine, both serve to really enhance your perception of the wine. Even Robert Mondavi, widely considered one of the greatest winemakers of all time, was surprised the first time he tasted a Mondavi wine from a glass like this, exclaiming "I never dreamed my wines were this good!"

I don't know about putting these in the dishwasher-I wouldn't risk it, but the manufacturer says it's fine.

Summary: Great value, lovely glasses
I bought these glasses because they were a great deal, but once they arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by their excellent quality and their beauty. These Spiegelau Authentis White Wine Glasses have the heft of the Riedel glasses. They feel great in the hand and they make that nice ringing sound of crystal when you toast. The tapered shape does seem to help with the nose of the wine (follow the instructions and only pour wine to the widest part of the glass), and if nothing else, they make you look good at a dinner party. And the best part of all? They seem quite happy to run through the dishwasher, which is great, because washing wineglasses by hand always scares me. After spending three months using both the red and the white Spiegelau glasses, I ordered another set of each, and I'm giving my old Bormiolis away.
