Possibly the best wine glasses you can buy at $10 a piece,

This review is from: Spiegelau Vino Grande Burgundy, Set of 2 (Kitchen)
If you are a serious wine drinker or plan on becoming one, then you know you should invest in good stemwares. Sure, you don't drink the glass, but I do believe that they contribute to your enjoyment of the wines. Plus, they look nice.
But at the same time, good wine glasses can be expensive. Riedel, in particular, is overrated and overpriced in my opinion. Compared to the Riedel counterparts in the same price range (their "Wine" series, which in fact typically costs $5~10 dollars more), these Spieglau glasses are just as finely made but less expensive. The glass is thin, and the bowl is adequately capacious. You can swirl a good amount of wine in there comfortably and get a really good feel for the wine's nose, which is aided even further by the tapered rim. I drink a lot of pinot noir and nebbiolo, which are supposedly the best suited varieties for these glasses, but I use them for everything anyway because I like them so much. I will be buying more as replacements soon. A note to everyone, including myself: Don't leave wine glasses in the sink after you've used them. That's just inviting a disaster. These glasses are quite sturdy despite their thinness but they will not withstand a hung-over clown knocking pans into them.

Well one thing's for sure. It's definitely more fun to drink wine from these glasses that anything else I've used! They are huge and the size actually enables you to catch the aroma of the wine as you drink. You can swirl to your heart's content and not worry about wine ending up on you or your lap. Really nice. Highly recommended. And I would definitely recommend handwashing. They are said to be fairly tough but I suspect it wouldn't take much to break them.

Simply gorgeous glasses. While I did purchase them for drinking Burgundy, I'm probably committing an oneophile's sin by using them primarily with exquisite Argentinian Malbec. Great bowl size allows for proper aeration and you can swirl to your heart's desire. I love them.
