Rating: - Unusual, great glasses
These are incredible glasses! Very high quality, sleek glasses that feel great in your hand and look great on your table. As the shape is different, they make an excellent conversation piece. They are good wine glasses if you are sitting down or have the opportunity to place your glass down often; they're not good for wine at cocktail parties or instances where you have to hold your glass often - holding them in your hand often will warm them quickly. They also make great beverage glasses for water, etc.

Rating: - Love these glasses!
I wasn't sure what I'd think of these glasses, but I love 'em! Granted, they do look a bit like a big bud vase, but I really enjoy using them for a casual glass (or two...) of wine at home. I also like the Sauvignon Blanc glasses that are quite a bit smaller. All in all, a great purchase.

Rating: - What the...
NEWS FLASH: These are nothing more than an excuse for Riedel to sell you 2 CURVED GLASS TUMBLERS for $18. A trip to any home store will yield similarly-shaped glasses for a couple of dollars. Sure, undiscriminating wine drinkers used to (some still do) drink their cheap wine out of plain old glasses, but does that mean you should? Remember that one of the reasons a wineglass has a stem is to prevent your hand from touching the bowl and heating the wine well above room temperature. If Riedel is truly a "connoisseur company" they are undoubtedly aware of this but for some reason (ka-ching!) it doesn't bother them. Heck, if I were making $17.75 in profit from 25 cents worth of glass I suppose it wouldn't bother me much either...

Drink up, suckers!
