Rating: - Elegant "everyday" flutes
After we bought a pair of these to replace some older Champagne flutes, one use sent us running back to the store to stock up - it's now the only stem we use. The shape is classic, elegant and has a nice weight - balancing delicacy with just enough sturdiness to feel reassuring. We've found that with some other stemware we've owned, our guests feel a little hesitant to handle the slender stem. I know from experience that hand-washing makes me pretty nervous after snapping the stem off some fine but too-delicate pieces. These, on the other hand, have just the right heft without sacrificing any of their "crystal" character.

The best part of all is that every glass creates a little ring of bubbles at the surface right in the middle of the glass (when it sits still for a moment). Apparently they've designed the glass to do just that. We also find that with richer, more aromatic Champagnes these glasses do a very good job of showcasing the nose of the wine.

Rating: - Highly recommended
These glasses strike just the right taste/aesthetics/quality/price balance. They are perfect to use to enjoy fine champagne at parties and not so fragile that I worry about the glasses being too easily broken or too costly to replace if something did happen to any of them.

Rating: - Great product in reasonable price
I'm a Riedel fan because I used to work for wines business so I had chance to test different glasses for free, and Riedel offer the best quality along with the price factor. I have Sommelier Bordeaux glasses (real great for collection wines but it's a pain to hand wash it by myself with great care next morning) but Vinum series are the best for daily use. I don't mind that litte logo at all so it's not a problem to me (as long as it's my favour brand names). But caution: Riedel suffering quality control problem and it's happened few years ago, I know it because I used to check the shipment piece by piece when it arrived at my shops. My first shipment was no exception, it's came with 3 defected glasses, 1 with critical defect (Borken edge) and 2 with major defects (Bubbles mark at the bodies) Hey, it's 50% and unacceptable from such a famous manufacturer! The logistics from Amazon save the problem, the second shipment arrived 2 days later (Amazing!) and all glasses are free from defects (Hurray!). You got to be serious in drinking to appreciate what Reidel's quality make your fine champagne shine. Don't buy this if you expect these glasses will make your cheap sparkling wines taste better (although it helps a little), it will definitely disappoint you. Remember these glasses are suppose to pair with fine champagne!
