Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Spiegelau Vino Grande Red Wine Glasses, Set of 6Customer Review: great everyday glass for the wine enthusiast Summary: 5 Stars
OK so these are not Riedels, but at this price, who cares? These glasses are very similar in shape to Riedel Vinum glasses (NOT Vinum Extreme) but are a bit less weighty, and appear to be made of slightly thinner glass. However, once you start using these glasses you will not notice the difference. I bought the Spiegelau glasses because I got sick and tired of paying $15+ per stem to replace my Riedels after breaking them -- after all, I would rather spend the money buying wine, not glasses, wouldn't you? I got a great deal (buy the bord stems and get the burg stems free) from Amazon and bought two dozen. I have been very pleased and have not broken a single stem. The glasses look nice and are excellent for tastings -- and at this price useful for larger group tastings. I wash them in the dishwasher with no problem. You can pay 2-3X more for Riedels but I bet you won't be able to tell the difference. Also, since they are less expensive than the Riedels, you don't have to be overly concerned about breakage. All-in-all a great glass and a great value -- highly recommended if you are serious about wine of if you just want a set of good looking stems that won't break the bank.
Description of Spiegelau Vino Grande Red Wine Glasses, Set of 6This set of simple but elegant crystal wine glasses would grace the simplest outdoor picnic as well as a multicourse formal meal in the dining room. The glasses are 9 inches tall, 2-1/2 inches across the top, and 3 inches across the wider portion of the tulip shape. They have very thin stems and wide, stable bottoms that won't tip easily--a design bonus, since no one likes trying to clean red wine out of a tablecloth. A set of these glasses would make a lovely housewarming or wedding gift, along with a select bottle from your favorite winery. --Marcie Bovetz
