5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Amazon Deal,
By Zen Brian (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Libbey 7 Piece Sangria Set (Kitchen)
You just can't beat this for the price. The set arrived with no broken pieces which is always good. The pitcher is of a good thickness, and a really nice attractive design. It is a tall pitcher that rounds out a bit at the base. Due to it's height it may not fit well on many of your fridge shelves. The height is 11-1/4" from base to lip. It is not super thick but not extremely fragile either. As some other reviewers I think have said there is a fairly obvious seem down the front of the pitcher where the glass was joined and I would guess this is an area you don't want to impact too often.
I mixed up some sangria in this and it looks as good as it tastes in this attractive pitcher. Easily enough room for a full bottle of wine and any other juices/liquors/fruits you add to your sangria mix. The 76 ounce capacity is a definite plus if you ad a lot of extra fruits juices and liqours in your sangria. The glasses are a nice bonus. They are basically 10 ounces to the top of the glass, so figure you can fill them to about 8 ounces comfortably plus a couple pieces of fruit. If you add liquor to your Sangria this makes a nice sized refreshing and potent beverage. Here is a great sangria recipe I found on line and modified slightly. It's a great base to work from. Enjoy. * 1/2 cup brandy * 1/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate or ¼ cup lemon juice * 1/3 cup orange juice * 1 (750 milliliter) bottle your favorite red wine * 1/2 cup triple sec * 1 lemon, sliced into rounds * 1 orange, sliced into rounds * 1 lime, sliced into rounds * 1/4 cup white sugar (optional) * 8 maraschino cherries (optional) * Add or substitute fruit as available * Sub rum if desired for brandy or go half and half * Add peach schnapps or sub for triple sec or half and half * 2 cups ginger ale or 7-up Mix everything but the ginger ale in the picther and put in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours. The flavors really mature the longer it sits. Add ginger ale if desired just before serving.

Functional pitcher set,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Libbey 7 Piece Sangria Set (Kitchen)
Ammendment to orginal review below: on 4/3 (about a month after buying it), the pitcher cracked...Amazon is replacing it, so hopefully it won't crack again. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt that I got a bad one; if the next one breaks, I'll change my ranking/review:
We bought this Feb. 2008 for $19.99 as part of the buy 3, get 1 free promo. This set comes with a glass pitcher that holds approx. 10 cups (80 oz or 2.5 quarts) and 6 glasses (holds approx. a little more than 1 cup/8 oz). You can't use boiling water to make iced tea with this and it's NOT dishwasher safe. We just wanted a glass pitcher (getting rid of all plastic in the house) and the bonus were the glasses. It's a great deal, especially when you see what buying a pitcher a-la-carte costs. What made it an even better deal was combining it with my other needed kitchen item purchases via the amazon "buy 4 for 3" promo. Ordering tip: if you're going to buy a bunch of items, split them in separate orders and put all the lower priced items together so you can get (at least) one of the more expensive items for free. By doing so, I got one $18 item free, instead of two $3.99 items free. Of course, just make sure both shipments are more than $25 for free S&H. I just made sure I bought some other needed items that weren't part of the promo! These 4-for-3 deals are AWESOME, especially when combined w/ FREE S&H and no sales tax! Way to go Amazon!

Nice glasses!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Libbey 7 Piece Sangria Set (Kitchen)
I really like the glasses in this set and have received several compliments on them! I use them often for brunches and often serve Italian sodas, mimosas, sangria and juice in these glasses. The pitcher would be much nicer if the seem was not so obvious and uneven. I read the other reviews and thought "how bad could it be?" It is pretty bad, but at this low price I'm okay with it.
