Riedel Vinum Bordeaux/Merlot/Cabernet Wine Glasses, Pay for 6 Get 8

Elegant, high end quality & sexy Looking. Wine taste Better. And it is a bargain price definitely

This item came properly packaged and protected from breakage. I recommend these glasses.

While it's true that you can get decent glasses for cheaper, they can't approach the experience of drinking a great Bordeaux inspired wine out of a glass that's designed specifically to enhance the experience is something that other offerings just can't match. I have Riedel Sommelier glasses, which are hand blown lead crystal but they're very expensive and very fragile so I don't feel comfortable using them every day. These Vinum series Bordeaux glasses are a great everyday solution. Lead crystal, formed to enhance specific qualities in the wines I love the most but machine blown and more sturdy. And I'll tell you a little secret: unless you're dealing with a hardcore wine snob, most people will be just as blown away by these as they are by the much more expensive Sommelier versions. Personally, I prefer not to drink wine with people who use words like "precocious" to describe wine, I'd much rather enjoy wine with people who can just appreciate it for what it is and what it does in their mouth. These glasses are perfect for 99% of your wine drinking (of you're drinking big reds) and I'm pretty sure most people will get more enjoyment out of them than their more expensive cousins. Salute!

I’ve been using these glasses for years they are fantastic I went to Williams-Sonoma to buy some but they were outrageously priced you had the same exact thing for a probably 1/3 of the cost I love Amazon I’m a shareholder thank you for providing great value

I ran into the Reidel glassware on a cruise and did the wine tasting of putting the same wine in different glasses. This glass is also known as the Tannin Tamer and really does work to remove the tannic bite present in dark reds. Like any crystal glass, they are a bit easier the shatter than the thick, not so versatile glasses, but if you are spending this much, hopefully you take care of your stuff. The Sommelier had said never to use soap on the glasses, but the website belies that and they are much prettier to look at and to drink from if they are well washed with soap and water. You can occasionally polish them by holding them in the steam from a boiling pot of water and using lint free glasses, they really shine then, but for normal use, a bit of dawn and water goes a long way. Do rinse them right after use. They form a ring of dark red right around the stem and unless you have small hands, cleaning it is tough.

Love the product, but one of the glasses arrived broken. I sent an email to the vendor along with a picture, order number, etc. and never received a response.

I purchased this as a gift, and the recipient was delighted--just what he had been wanting. I read other reviews where the glasses arrived broken or cracked due to packing issues. I experienced just the opposite. The Riedel carton was very substantial and the glasses were nestled into dividers to hold them immobile. That carton was packed within an outer, very heavy duty carton, and then that was packed wthin a 3rd carton and well padded with bubble wrap and tissue. Excellent price for excellent crystal.

These glasses are absolutely the best. Well worth the money. Makes a 15 dollar bottle of wine taste like a 25 and a 40 dollar bottle taste like a 60. Something in the way this glass is made, it rips the wine when you swirl it and sends a beautiful wine bouquet up your nose before you sip. They are fragile, so hand clean carefully.

Great glasses for a good price

These are beautiful, elegant glasses and I'm 100% satisfied with my purchase. Exactly what I wanted. The packaging was excellent as well.

Again we have these in another of our homes and they are very nice. Quality excellent. Worth the money and nice to drink out of!

These are lovely glasses to drink from and despite their elegant look are hardy.

Very good set of wine glasses at a price that cannot be beat.
