Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mikasa Cheers Balloon Wine Goblet, Set of 4
Customer Review: superlative glasses from Mikasa
Summary: 5 Stars
Mikasa makes some mighty fine wine goblets that will impress you--and your guests on any occasion! Yes, some people say they break easily; but they're made from glass so like any other piece of glass they're not meant for people to play football with! The designs on the glasses are actually very well done and I like the way the four glasses all have their distinctly different designs. Now every guest has something special about their glass when they sit at your table or come over for drinks!
These wine glasses are every bit as large as people say they are; and that's terrific. The overall design of each glass gives it an elegant, sophisticated look and, of course (by pure coincidence), allows your guests to have just a little more wine in their glass to go with snacks or a meal.
The manufacturer cautions against putting these in the dishwasher; and I would agree. Washing these fine glasses by hand is definitely the best way to clean them after they've been used.
Overall, these are excellent wine goblets and I highly recommend them. With the proper care they'll last years; and you won't be disappointed.
Customer Review: big, bold and beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes. They sure are large -- and gorgeous! I plan to use my large wine goblets side by side with my highball glasses as water glasses at each table place setting. They match beautifully.
I have also ordered 2 more pilsner sets -- one for my friends (at their annual JUly 4th bbq), and another set for my grandson, who fell in love with them too.
And who says you must fill them with "traditionals"? I think I will use my goblets for individual servings of the banana pudding that my family loves. Or even for icecream sundaes. And,lemonade or iced tea will surely fill the highball glasses this summer.
Thanks Amazon. These sold on ShopNbc last year for twice the money. And what a savings what with the $25 discount and the free shipping.
These glasses are classy, elegant and CHEERFUL. 10 cheers for Mikasa -- and Amazon.
Customer Review: They're So Beautiful I Could Cry
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen this set of red wine crystal in various upscale magazines for quite some time, but it wasn't until I met these lovely glasses in person that I fell absolutely in love. The etched lines were simple, retro, and almost optical in their quality. To call them artistic would seem cliche, but there is truly no better word for such careful attention to design and such joyful form in the functionality of what is anything BUT another red wine glass.
I've seen imitations (in person) at both Target and Pier One... but nothing comes close to matching this set in the quality and consistency of the etched lines. The large size for this red wine Mikasa is a winning point, in my opinion-- but I've always loved the balloon-style. These glasses certainly aren't for the Port or Madeira crowd; I use my two sets for the warm Cabernet-Merlot nights... as often as possible.Customer Review: Everything about this Mikasa series is great!!!

This was my first Amazon non-book/entertainment item. I have a new place, with contemporary furntiure and was looking for clear stemware, but not the same old, same old, plain clear kind. I was skeptical - but ordered a 20 glass assortment - these balloons, plus the white wine and martini glasses. They just came - in PERFECT condition, beautifully packaged, quickly shipped. They are, indeed, a "10" - but Amazon only allows us to rate them a "5". They are contemporary, thin-rimmed and - NOT made in China - but in France. Amazing. Believe me, I had taken many trips to the outlets (including Mikasa, Fitz & Floyd) Pier 1, Cost Plus, as well as at the pricier home goods stores in Southern California... The outlets could not match the Amazon price. Save gas, $$$$ and duck crowds. Go Amazon and wait a few days for your doorbell to ring. You will be very happy.Customer Review: Great for entertaining, distinctive, great quality
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had these a few years and recently bought more. Consistently get good comments from guests. White wine cheers glasses are also nice and match these. Seven boxes total.
The stemmed versions we received were made in Slovakia and were high quality. The stemless ones are from China and were unacceptable junk with bubbles, bad detail and generally defective. Those were a disappointment.
They are delicate and should be hand washed.
One thing to watch on the balloon goblet is that the capacity is a full 750 ml (a whole wine bottle) so what you think would be equal to one normal 6 oz. glass is probably more than two glasses.
Watch for 4 for 3 promotion.
