Given the practicality of this glass -doesn't shatter easily like finest stemmed Sommelier glasses, is dishwasher safe, folds nicely in one's hand - & how delicious the wine tastes, I feel our other red wine glasses are redundant. (Same true for compannion white wine glasses)

Love the thickness of the glasses, they are delicate but sturdy. Had bought others that were like canning jars thick and took them back. We are so happy with these and they arrived in great shape. Love the look, design and usefulness.

I bought these for my Mom for Mother's Day. She's a bit of a foodie and these glasses are apparently all the rage right now as they are shaped just right for most popular red wines and are super durable. She loves them and uses them regularly. They're elegant for dining, but won't tip easily and can also be used as tumblers for other drinks.

Used two to four times per week. Great for dinner with just the two of us. Probably wouldn't use to entertain. Clean up afterwards is less stressful...not worried about breaking stemware on the granite countertops.

A friend gave me two of these for Christmas and I like them so much, I bought two more. We rarely use our cheap red wine glasses for everyday dining anymore because these are more stylish, more fun, and easier to load into the dishwasher.

I first experienced a Riedel stemless wine glass while wine-tasting on the "Central Coast" of California ("Sideways" territory). I fell in love with it. It was delicate and lightweight to the touch, but made of sturdy, lead-free crystal. The stemless design puts one in intimate, sensuous contact with the glass -- and the wine contained in it. I love the different glass designs for each type of wine. My collection, so far, includes 5 types of wine glass. I use them for any and all occasions, from formal to informal.

I gave these glasses to my boyfriend as a gift and he loves them! He knew the name right away, being a wine connoisseur, and they have exceeded his expectations in both quality and design. They are elegant, yet durable...very sophisticated. We enjoy drinking with these glasses over all of our stemware! Thank you.

Very lovely stemless wine glasses. Elegant design, fine crystal. The circumference of the glass is a little large to hold comfortably with one hand. When we order again, we will select a wine glass with a smaller circumference to fit the hand more comfortably.

I decided to buy these after my husband broke the thousandth stem off one of our other glasses. These are really nice, pretty, and feel more delicate than they are. We bought some cheap glass ones similar, but real crystal is so much nicer. These are heirloom-quality. My kids love them too, and wanted to drink their soda from them since they are so "pretty."
I need to get a few more of these!

We use these glasses when we don't want to use our long stemmed wine glasses. They serve the purpose well and I think they enhance the flavor of reds just as much as some of my larger glasses. We're very happy with them!
Very good everyday wine glass
By jiminycricket
from short hills, nj on 1/1/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Comfortable to Hold, Dishwasher Safe
Cons:
Defective - bubbles
Best Uses:
Informal Dining
Describe Yourself:
Connoisseur, Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
We will use these glasses every day, and for that use, they are quite nice: thin, non-leaded glass walls, fit nicely in hand. However, in the set of 2 that I purchased, one glass had two bubbles in it. So if you're looking for perfection in a non-leaded, very thin walled everyday wine glass, forget it. But I have to say that, even so, they are very pleasant to use. Besides, non-perfection denotes "handmade". What could be better in an overly-mechanized age.

These glasses are great. Drinking wine in top quality glasses without the stems makes for an enjoyable an unique experience. The only con would be that if you hold the glass to long, you are bound to warm up your beverage with your body heat.
