First and foremost: I was reluctant to buy Riedel brand glasses precisely because they market the quack science of tongue "taste zones" based on head-tilt and other elaborate, but equally insane, hoaxes.
These glasses are great because I was able to get 8 for the price of 6 at under $7 a glass. Any cheaper and I'd be at Target or Cost Plus World Market where the cheap glasses are clunky, unpolished and striated/warped. Although, Cost Plus is such a cool store and I've purchased casual stemless ware there!
These glasses are the perfect size for swirling and the perfect shape for sampling, tasting, and drinking many varieties of wine.
I've lived in Spain and experienced great wine from goat skin sacks, plastic cups and wooden goblets. Txakoli is served from a highball!
Good wine is good wine, and a good price is a good price!
Enjoy (minus the BS marketing nonsense)!
