5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for a wine lover., December 31, 2007

By	Lynn Hoffman, author:The Short Course in Beer (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This will give your wine-loving friend a lot more pleasure than some over-wrought corkscrew. A great deal of your experience of wine comes from the aromas that develop in the air above the surface of the wine. A glass that forces the wine to have a large surface area for its volume and then narrows to concentrate the vapors will increase the flavor experience. Glasses with a thin lip seem to interfere less with the taste of wine than thicker (and cheaper) glasses. The shape of the glass makes a difference, too. Since we can only smell molecules that are in the air, the best wine-tasting glass is going to promote evaporation by exposing the largest possible surface area to the air. These glasses are wide at the waist and narrow at the top to get more from their wine. Does it make a difference? You bet-and in every taste test that I've been part of, Riedel glasses win hands down.

The wine simple tastes better in these glasses. The red wine Ouverture glasses are as close to an all-purpose glass as any and they're very inexpensive.
It shouldn't be necessary to mention that a wine glass should be clean and odorless. But sometimes restaurants, in their zeal to make their glassware clean use rinsing aids that leave behind a strong mineral smell. If you're spending a lot of money on a bottle of wine in a restaurant, sniff the empty glass first. At home, a film of grease can settle on a previously clean glass. It's no reflection on the quality of the housekeeping-cooking fats disperse in the air and settle on everything in a kitchen. An additional rinsing and a wipe with a clean towel are all you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hit at the Barbeque, May 4, 2009

We just had a barbeque last weekend and the stemless wine glasses were a hit. They were much easier to clean as well. Its worth ordering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous wine glasses, March 28, 2009

By	Laura Moore - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These glasses are great. I have given many as gifts, but never got any for us. Finally I did, and I am so glad. We don't have to worry with them tipping over due to the stem. We have kids and this is a problem. Plus they fit into the dishwasher better. They are a great weight, too.
