Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Several years ago, an article in Wine Spectator magazine noted the importance of a high-quality glass for improving a wine's looks and enhancing its bouquet. However, the magazine lamented, many of the attributes that increase the beauty and value of the glass actually obscure the wine. Spiegelau's Vino Grande series is part of a connoisseur line designed specifically for wine lovers. The thin rim means less distraction from the taste and texture of the wine. Tap the glass gently with your fingernail and you'll hear the distinctive ping of fine crystal.

This clear vintage port glass measures 7-1/4 inches high. The glass is evenly proportioned, with stem and bowl approximately the same height. These glasses are billed as being dishwasher-safe and are sturdy enough for everyday use, as proven by their popular use in restaurants. Still, we'd recommend hand washing. --Irene Svete

Glasses focus aromas well and provide a nice counter-point to Reidel. Anyone who worries about lead content need not because there is very little free lead in a glass and none is water soliable.

These aren't as nice as some of the specialty wine glasses, but for the money, these are the best port glasses on the market. Lead? Perhaps a concern in a long-term decanter, but not from a 7% non-soluable port glass.

Value and function and design meet together in these beautiful glasses. Nice and thin, the crystal is beautiful and the glasses seem well-blown. A joy to use.
