Marquis by Waterford Yours Truly Flute Pair Review


These waterford glasses were absolutly beautiful! When I recieved them, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. They arrived in a very nice pink box that was padded beyond belief. Exqusit beauty is all I can say. You will be more impressed with them when you see them in person!Get more detail about Marquis by Waterford Yours Truly Flute Pair.

Save Spiegelau Vino Grande Champagne, Set of 2


I am wine collector w a sommeliers diploma - so I've done a lot of tastings over the past 20 years. Obviously the top league is held by Riedel - the old guy did his research on glass shapes (although debatable whether optimal for every varietal).
I find the Spiegelau's better value for money in the long run.

Pro's:
1. Thicker and more durable than Riedels. I used to wash Riedels in a dishwasher - some breakages resulted. The Spiegelaus are tougher.
2. Specific to the champagne flutes - I find the overall balance of the glasses very good. They are stylish, yet still functional in that the closing tulip preserves the flavors.

Cons:
1. Not Riedel?

Great value - good for every day use, but will still serve as excellent tasting glasses.

Cheap Riedel O Cabernet 6+1 Bonus Gift Pack Set


I sent the Riedel O Cabernet 6+1 Bonus Gift Pack as a Christmas gift in November to my daughter. When I went to visit her and she opened this gift, one of the glasses was broken. I emailed the company I bought it from and they said they had no information on my order. So you have to deal with the seller and not Amazon. My daughter misplaced the order info that was in the box, so we were out one broken glass. These glasses are EXTREMELY fragile and I don't recommend ordering them on line unless you don't care about losing one or two. Buy them from a real store!Get more detail about Riedel O Cabernet 6+1 Bonus Gift Pack Set.

Buying Riedel Ouverture Magnum Glasses, Set of 4


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)!
