Veritas Cabernet/Merlot - Set of 2, Wine Glass, Crystal Glass, Dishwasher Safe - 6449/0

These glasses are amazing! They're second in the Riedel line only to the Sommelier Grand Cru's. They are just as delicate too. You must treat these and all Riedel glasses as they are - top of the line wine glasses. They are light, they are thin, and they will break if you put them in a dishwasher or wash them with too much pressure by hand! Think feather..... Don't listen to the troubled, angry souls on other reviews that broke theirs. They're just salty that they broke on them.

I use the glasses for drinking wine. My evaluations above (durability/thickness) are not criticisms--the glasses are as they are supposed to be. One just has to be careful not to break them. They were delivered in perfect condition but I do think they could have been shipped with more around them other than just their retail box and a shipping bag. However, I may be wrong about that because, perhaps, the box is designed to protect the glassed to the extent that extra packing material--or any packing material--is not required for safe shipping. That was the case here.

Riedel Veritas are the best wine glasses I’ve ever owned! The thin seamless stems are incredibly elegant and the thin bowls enhance the wine’s nose and palate. They feel light and balanced in your hand (everything else now feels clunky). We’ve had them for years and have never broken one. We wash them in the dishwashers and occasionally by hand. I don’t understand how people think they’re fragile, just treat them like what they are — an investment in your wine enjoyment.

Gorgeous cabernet glasses. My husband and I absolutely love these. Beautiful shape enhances the profiles of your cabernet. A word of earning, though... if you are clumsy, these are not the glasses for you. They are so thin, the slightest bump against anything and they'll shatter. For the price, I wouldn't recommend.

Person I got them for drinks a lot of wine and really likes these glasses. Feels like quality when holding and drinking from and has held up well. I have broken a lot of wine glasses while cleaning/drying and these have been holding up well. I would purchase again without hesitation.

These glasses are the epitome of elegance. You feel better enjoying your favorite red in these premium glasses.

This is the perfect wine glass for red wine!

Excellent multi purpose red wine glass. Improves the aromatics of the wine. Very delicate for everyday use.

Tolle Gläser für Rotwein, gute Qualität.

muy buena marca y el servicio de entrega de nuestro amigos de amazon... como siempre super.

Riedel makes really nice wine glasses but need to handle with care as they break quite easily.

Muy buena calidad, aunque finas y delicadas, no parecen frágiles, bonito diseño y venían en caja con muy buen embalaje.
