Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel O Cabernet/Merlot Wine Tumblers, Set of 2
Customer Review: My favorite wine glass...
Summary: 5 Stars
I got a set of these as a gift and have fallen in love with them. I even went out and bought more include some of the riesling one which if you are looking for a smaller size are the way to go. They are light and wonderful to drink from and easy to care for. They handle the dishwasher very well. Cause although they seem so fragile and delicate they are excellent for day to day use. One did finally break in our home as one of our cats knocked a book from a shelf that cracked it. But I'm replacing it as I type. Having no stems also means less likely to be tipped over which for this home is a good thing.
Over all an excellent day to day wine glasses, wonderful quality and good pricing. Makes a great gift for wine drinkers.
Customer Review: Great for cocktails!
Summary: 5 Stars
I received six of these as a gift over two months ago. I immediately opened one of the boxes and decided to pour a cocktail in one rather than wine. Since then, I have had every drink out of them except wine. For some reason when I drink wine, I forget to get them out. But there is no reason that wine would not be fantastic out of them. They really are cool glasses although a bit on the fragile side. I have not broke one but can tell that they would break very easy if dropped in an empty sink or such. I would highly recommend them even if you use them for wine! Mine came from Kyrian Crystal which will engrave them for you, giving them a very elegant and personalized touch.Customer Review: Cozy glasses
Summary: 4 Stars
I own some of these glasses and have given others as gifts. I enjoy these for informal dinners and after dinner sipping. It is nice to not have the 'tippiness' factor of a stemmed glass involved when relaxing. I also have a 'special' place for these in my dishwasher. and so far, no accidents. Just be sure that they are on the top rack and not touching anything else. I may be a little too critical, however, because after only about 200 washings they loose a little of their luster. Imagine that!?! One of the nicest things about these glasses is the delicate thinness of the lip. It just makes sipping wine (or anything) more elegant.Customer Review: Classy, and Very Handy
Summary: 5 Stars
I work for a local bar and we're serving more and more of our wine in these glasses because quite simply they're drastically easier to handle in the crowded conditions, and they break far less frequently. They're also easier to clean, easier to store, easier to handle... and they look pretty cool!
I've also found that they let some of the warmth of your hand get to the wine, similar to the way a snifter works with brandy or other liquors, which has a significant effect on the bouquet. The next time I need wine glasses for my home, I'll unquestionably be buying this style.
Customer Review: Nice but not for small hands
Summary: 3 Stars
I would rate them highly for appearance, apparent quality, and a nice slightly rounded edge to make them easy on the lips. Of course, without a stem, they will not insulate the bowl from the warmth of your hands and can be expected to warm the wine if you are holding it between sips, as you might at a party. And a warning to those with small hands, you may not feel like you have a very secure grip on this large glass. They have some other smaller versions you might like better.
