If you like high-end Chardonnays, particularly those from California, then this is a must-buy glass. We have done side-by-side tastings of Chardonnays with this glass and the lower-priced Vinum Series, and this glass significantly improves the nose and flavor balance of such wines over the lower-priced option. However, be warned that imperfections in the wine (particularly in less complex lower-end wines) will be amplified. If you typically drink Chardonnays that cost less than $40, the Vinum Series actually makes those wines taste better.

I love these Reidel glasses. My only complaint is that I was replacing one of a set and because 25 years have passed, this one does not exactly match the rest of the set. Held and used by itself it's fine. Compared to the rest, it's visibly different. The bell is smaller for one thing and that slightly changes the presentation of the wine. I'm a little bit disappointed but I guess things are bound to change although I've found that not to be the case in some other lines such as Waterford or Baccarat.
