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.

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!

While these are advertised as water glasses, they are perfect for both red and white wine. I am sure the wine connoisseurs/purists may not concur, but these Riedel crystal glasses hold an acceptable 12 ounces of wine. Not only are they very durable, but also are easy to store. No need to worry about long-stemmed wine-glass spills and breakage. After trying out a set of four, I have added eight more.

Riedel used to make an "everyday" wine glass, the Gourmet Glass, that fit in the dishwasher since the stem was short. It seems that their "everyday" glass is now a no-stem glass, which solves the dishwasher problem, but I do like a stem on my wine glass.

These are less graceful than the old option -- a bit shorter, a bit wider. I break out the big glasses when I have something special to drink but these do the job when you're not in the mood to handwash.

As with all Riedel glasses, these are great quality and nice to use. I wish they were a tad larger, but other than that, they are perfect.

We own a number of Riedel wine glasses, hence the purchase of the water glasses.

Simply stated, these H20 glasses are a little too small and delicate for my taste. They feel like they might break much more readily than the larger wine glasses.
