Product Description

Amazon.com Review

When a guest asks for water, this glass serves it with panache. The all-purpose, sparkling crystal water glass from Riedel's Vinum line allows for indulgence everyday, whether for juice at breakfast or iced tea in the afternoon. You'll want to keep enough on hand to set one at every place at dinner, paired with Vinum wine glasses. The short stem provides good stability and takes away breakage worries, and the tall, deep bowl feels beautifully balanced in the hand. A slighter smaller match to the Vinum Gourmet glass, each of the two water glasses in this set measures 5-7/8 inches in height and holds 12-3/8 ounces at full capacity.

Made in Bavaria of more than 24 percent lead crystal for superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum wine glasses are nevertheless affordable because they are machine-made rather than mouth-blown. Since its introduction in 1986, the popular Vinum collection has grown to contain nearly two dozen different glasses. While all Vinum glassware is dishwasher-safe, Riedel recommends washing the crystal by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

The glasses arrived in a timely manner. They were packed nicely and arrived in excellent condition. I will say that the description mentioned these were sturdy enough for every day use, but I find that the glass is somewhat thin and I would be afraid to use them every day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful glasses! They are NOT too small, December 29, 2010

These are wonderful glasses and go perfectly with a set of Riedel Vinum Chablis/Chardonnay glasses. The body sizes of the bulb are similarly shaped and sized.

They are thinner glass, but that's what makes them so good. They feel great on the lip when taking a sip. We hand wash them for fear they may break, but they are suppose to be dishwasher safe.

They definitely are NOT too small. They hold more than 12 ounces of liquid, more than a can of soda. Yes, if you drink tankards of water and like doing so without having to refill your tankard, then this glass isn't for you. But remember, these glasses are refillable. :)

I can't say enough about Riedel's Vinum line of glasses. They are superb. We replaced all of our glasses when we found these, and have now used them for about 12 years. They feel great in your hand, nicely shaped and smooth, and are exactly the right, light weight. Beautiful and elegant for any occasion.

These are really beautiful glasses- elegant and classy. I have no problem washing them, but for the faint of heart, I recommend the Riedel restaurant series instead. If you are a fan of both glasssware and what goes in them, I highly reccommend these!
