Ok, I love port and had to get these glasses to try them out. The feel very elegant and add a new dimension to tasting port as you can sip the port from the bottom. These glasses are very delicate and they arrived without any damage. I would warn you about two things. 1) They are delicate and should be handled with care. The glass straws could chip easily, they are well constructed... Just delicate. 2) I would rinse these out as soon as you are done using them...
Overall: Good Price, fast shipping, damage free delivery.. Cool glasses.. A nice novelty

I loved the idea of an "old time" way to drink port. These are VERY delicate. There IS a difference in how the port tastes because it is consumed from the bottom (less oxidation) and the "straw" causes the port to flow across the tongue for a delightful sip. There is a BIG issue though ... they are not stable at all. The legs are too small, short and too closely placed - these tip over with little assistance! Good port is a terrible thing to waste! Nifty novelty that people notice in the cabinet though and everyone asks to try them.

My husband and I were first introduced to sipping port from these glasses while on vacation in Sonoma County. These are great. They came very well packaged and none of them were chipped or broken, even though they appear quite delicate. We have used them both on our own and with dinner guests. The trick is to have a small amount of dark chocolate in your mouth right before sipping the port. It is delicious. Our guests have all enjoyed the novelty of sipping port this way and we enjoy it ourselves after we've put the kids to sleep.

These are not as "delicate" and "small" as some reviews would leave you believe. I almost didn't order. I'm glad I did. They are glass. So yes, they are breakable. They are not thin brittle glass. Yes, they are smaller than a wine glass, that is why they are called "sippers". They are great and I'm glad I ordered them!

These glasses mimic the other brands with similar idea, however absence of certain tiny but important details render them useless.
First of all the sipping end is lower then the glass top which makes it very inconvenient to sip
Second the front legs are right under the center of gravity of the filled glass which makes it unstable - mine tumbled from the light breeze across the room.
My recommendations - go for better brands from Amazon or Wine Enthusiast

These wonderful little sippers are perfect for anyone who enjoys -- or wants to learn to enjoy -- a good port wine. The palm of one's hand wraps snugly around the glass and warms the port beautifully. A small sip at a time, and before you know it, the glass is empty! I have several sets of these myself, and I've given several as gifts. Friends who've used them at my home have also purchased them for themselves and as gifts for others. I never appreciated port until I drank it from one of these sippers.

these glasses hold about as much as a shot glass. I expected them to be bigger, but they are still cute and serve their purpose.

Cute but much smaller than I expected
Probably should have read more carefuly but I thought these would be a typical sized wine glass. So small that I can't imagine them being useful except for ice wine.
