Made of lead-free crystal and machine blown, these glasses are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedel's exacting standards, so wine flows easily onto the palate. Each glass stands 7-7/8 inches high, and their large bowls help release the wine's aroma for full enjoyment.

This review is from: Riedel Ouverture Magnum Red Wine Glass, Set of 6 plus 2 Bonus Glasses (Kitchen)
When I first started drinking wine a decade ago, I thought it'd be kind of cool to buy a bunch of different wine glasses. You know the drill: smallish ones for white wines, bigger ones for reds, humongous ones for Bordeaux, insanely large fishbowl-esque ones for Burgundy, and so on and so forth. Although it's nice to whip out the big fancy ones for a special occasion, I find myself returning to the Riedel Overture Magnum glasses again and again and again. Why? For one, they're big enough to allow for some mighty swirling without splashing wine all over yourself (which is embarrassing). They're also durable enough to stand up to (ahem) drunken handling during boisterous dinner parties and/or hungover washing up the morning after. They've survived the dishwasher a couple of dozen times and still look good; they seem to do just fine with any kind of wine (except for dessert wines - if you start pouring half bottles into these things, you run out too quickly). In short, these are the glasses you'll wind up using nearly every time you drink wine. Don't worry about those ridiculous "Nebbiolo only" or whatever glasses that cost the earth and are more fragile than Kanye West's ego - just grab a set of these and get down to drinking. You won't regret it.

8 High quality wine glasses for $60 including shipping? Great value. Solid all around glass for sure...stems are a tad shorter than I expected so if you're looking for that "expensive" tall stem look vs. a more utilitarian purpose, then look for something else. I wanted 8 so I could have the same glasses for a party and not freak about them breaking.
They are very sturdy and the short stem makes them even sturdier.

Good heft, not too flimsy or too heavy and a great size for swirling. Best price around and well packed for shipping.
