4.0 out of 5 stars A novelty for the Port aficionado November 25, 2009

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

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea! April 2, 2008

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.
