This glass is exceptional. I have experienced a new level of enjoyment for my red wines. The glasses are expensive, but you will ABSOLUTELY notice a distinct difference that makes them worth it. I saw much discussion in the reviews about cleaning, but with reasonable caution, they are easy to clean by hand. Bowls are large enough to fit my whole hand and wrist. Haven't had any problems.

This glass is perfect for enjoying fine wine. It is the only glass i'll ever use to drink my big cabs & bordeauxs in the future. The only drawback is what makes it great. It is so thin and hard to clean. i recommend buying a few extra because you will break one.

This glass is big and very delicate! However it treats an expensive or old bottle of wine excellently! I would use another glass for everyday but this is perfect for a good bottle of wine. Washing the glass requires patience and alittle skill because of its size!

TOO FRAGILE!
By CookerVerified Purchaser from Santa Cruz, CA on 1/6/2008
Cons:
Difficult to Clean, Too Delicate
Best Uses:
Special Occasion
Describe Yourself:
Connoisseur
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is a beautiful glass, but the very first time I washed it ( by hand, very gently, with a special wine glass washer sponge) it exploded in my hands! It was so thin and fragile it was virtually impossible to wash, and a one time use is too costly for me! We are going to return the unopened ones and replace them with the next level of glasses, which we have had for many years and love.
