| This set of simple but elegant crystal wine glasses would grace the simplest outdoor picnic as well as a multicourse formal meal in the dining room. The glasses are 9 inches tall, 2-1/2 inches across the top, and 3 inches across the wider portion of the tulip shape. They have very thin stems and wide, stable bottoms that won't tip easily--a design bonus, since no one likes trying to clean red wine out of a tablecloth. A set of these glasses would make a lovely housewarming or wedding gift, along with a select bottle from your favorite winery. --Marcie Bovetz |

Summary: A terrific value and very comparable to Riedel Riedel has done a great job with this Spiegelau product line and have raised their level of quality to nearly that of Riedel. If you're looking for quality housewarming or bridal gifts, but don't want to spend the money for Reidel, Spiegelau is for you. Summary: Spiegelau was acquired by Riedel Spiegelau was acquired by Riedel a year or two ago, and is quite similar to the Riedel Vinum glassware, which sits just below Riedel's high end sommelier series. These glasses offer exceptional value. The difference between the Spiegelau and the Riedel is less in the quality of any individual stems--both are well-made, European machine blown crystal--than in the fact that Riedel offers a broader range of glassware specifically designed to enhance wines from particular varietals (e.g., cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir) or from particular appellations (e.g., Burgundy, Bordeaux). If you are simply looking for a basic red wine glass and a basic white wine glass, the Spiegelau will work just fine. However, if you usually just drink Barolo, for example, you might wish to invest a bit more money in a Riedel stem specifically developed to enhance the bouquet and flavors of that appellation. However, the most important thing to know is that these are excellent quality glassware that offer the major advantages of crystal over regular glass, a thin lip and a microscopic pores in the glass that effectively increase surface area, increasing the area from which the bouquet can launch. Summary: Toast to all! These galsses were highly recommended for everyday use .....wonderful! No more Reidel glasses that shatter on touch...a wonderful alternative! Summary: Best glasses for the money I've found! After reading some of these reviews, I find it hard to believe that we are talking about the same product. I have about 40 of these glasses (red and white) and an equal number of Riedel Sommelier series. I love both brands, but these are the ones I use everyday. Not that they can not be used for more formal entertaining - I use them for that as well. All breakage has been my fault. I torqued one stem and dropped a couple of others. However, with reasonable care, these will last for many years. I normally put them in the dishwasher (which even came with some Riedels to demonstrate that crystal can be safely cleaned in it), but hand wash them occasionally. (When washing by hand, hold them from the bowl, not the stem or base!) The bottom line is that for the money, they can not be beat. They are well made, balanced, and concentrate the nose better than anything I have seen at this price point. Buy these and you'll still have money left for wine! Summary: Love these Glasses These glasses are beautiful. Although I could never seriously consider spending the money for Riedels, I did handle one at the liquor store. I prefer the balance of the Spiegelau. Most important, the wine tastes better in these quality glasses than in the inexpensive "no names." We enjoyed a Cabernet in our new glasses. Then to make sure I wasn't just imagining that it tasted better in my new purchase, I poured some wine in my old glasses. My husband's response to the wine in our old glasses was "What's wrong with this wine." Maybe we should have tasted from the old glasses then from the new ones. Even with all of the write-ups I never dreamed it would make that much difference. |
