These are great everyday white wine glasses. We have these along with the Vinum XL and these are far smaller and easier to deal with when we just want a quick glass of wine. Riedel has many more expensive and nicer glasses but for the price these are great.

We've had these for a year. Used frequently. Have had not chips or breakage. They are very comfortable to the hand and lips. Worth the price.

These glasses are clearly on the cheap side for Riedel--smallish and no real weight to them. Probably should have spent more to get better glasses.

I don't know very much about fancy wine glasses, so I can't comment on how these fare compared to their peers. However, I can say that it's absolutely worth the money to upgrade, if, like me, you were previously drinking out of some cheap big chain store brand wine glasses. Something about this enhances the flavor. Great purchase. I do think they can package them a little better at the manufacturers, but Amazon sent me another box when my first set arrived broken, so I wouldn't worry about that.

We purchased 8 of these wine glasses as a birthday gift for our daughter a year ago. She was looking for a white wine glass that she could use to serve guests that were of a reasonable size. So many of the white wine stemware she'd looked at held a huge amount of wine, even when partially filled. Big glasses may be trendy, but they add to the wine expense of a party, and, big wine glasses have a very real chance of increasing the alcohol consumption by your guests -- people tend to pour and drink more than you (or they) may have intended when they are drinking from over sized glasses.

The glasses have held up very well, no breakage or chips and the size is proving to be perfect for our 31 year old daughter. She is very pleased with our choice of these glasses over others she'd looked at on her own.

The only drawback, and it was surmountable, was the "half-bubble" of glass at the foot of the stem. Very pretty, but necessitated a small remodeling of the overhead wine glass rack to accommodate this extra thickness of the foot. Keep this in mind if you too have a hanging rack for your stemware and decide to purchase these lovely white wine glasses. Nice starter crystal for yourself or someone you care for in design and price.

These glasses are for children. The opening is so small, the rim hits your nose when you try to drink. I returned mine.

I would recommend Amazon to anyone who wants to order this product. The glasses are beautiful and arrived as promised in excellent condition and I love them!!!

Bought a set of two Riedel wine glasses for my wife just before New Years
and never expected to receive them in time for New Years Eve but the delivery
was here that morning. EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!

These were well priced and arrived in excellent condition, despite the box being slightly worn.
