Rating: - Great everyday wine glass
This glass is not really ideal for any wine, but it's a great everyday glass for everyday use, and it's an excellent tasting glass. While you'll want to pull out your special, grape-specific glasses for those special bottles, this glass is excellent for getting the most out of everyday wines with a minimum of fuss. They fit in the top rack of most dishwashers and are very durable. (I've used them for the past 5 years.) Plus, when you are drinking that special bottle from your special glasses, it makes a very nice water glass.

Rating: - Wonderful for Water
Having NO idea why the below reviews mention that these are made in France... They are NOT they are from Austria. However these aren't actually made by Riedel. They are made 'for' Riedel. Wonderful to use for sparkling water. Would not use for wine. Riedel is the leading wine glass manufacturer. Buy the correct wine glass for the wine. You will be amazed. The glass DOES make a difference.

Rating: - Red/Gourmet Glass
Yes, the stem is short. Yes, if you have a big nose, it may get caught. And worst of all, they do come from France, which is a very good reason not to buy them. BUT that being said, you will not find a more pleasant, delicate glass to hold or sip from in this price range. More importantly, they fit into the upper level of the dishwasher, their single most important attribute. And if you break one or two or three, no tears, throw away the pieces and buy a new ones. Now that you cannot say about Waterford.
