Riedel Vinum Water - Set of 2, Drinking Glass, Crystal Glass, Dishwasher Safe - 6416/02

These are ideal for whiskey. Beautiful and functional. About the same size/shape as a Glencairn glass, but better quality and I prefer the stem. (Riedel also makes an Akvavit glass, which is even closer to the Glencairn in shape, but it's hard come by). Unfortunately, they don't make anything like this glass in the hand-made Sommelier line. These are a bit heavier than the hand-built glasses, so are more durable, which might be a good thing if you're not super careful with your glasses. Also, these are LEAD FREE. I mention that because a lot of people seem to ask the question. The entire Riedel line from 2016 on is lead free, but there is still some older stock out there. The sticker on the glass says "crystal glass" which is their way of saying "no lead." Finally, these go through the dishwasher just fine, though you want to be careful that they don't bang up against anything, and you don't want to use too much soap. The dishwasher soap will probably etch the glass eventually if you wash them a lot. Riedel actually recommends a dishwasher over hand washing because it's actually much easier to break the glass when hand washing than in a dishwasher. I can attest to that from experience. I've never had one break in the dishwasher, but I've broken a couple of them when hand washing.

There are newer brands of crystal stemware on the market that get higher reviews, but they are much more expensive and I question whether they are worth the additional cost. We have never been disappointed in a Riedel product. They have two quality lines: a premium line and a lower cost line. This line, Vinum, is the lower cost line. We have both. The top line is what I recommend for wine glasses and this line is fine for cocktails. Excellent quality/price ratio.

Riedel does it again. Even though after a lot of expensive experimenting, I exclusively use Riedel Vinum wine glasses, I held out buying their cognac glasses. I wish I had bought these sooner. They are stable, elegant and beautifully designed. The shape enhances the developing nose (aroma) of the cognac and feels wonderful in your hand. I think they are a perfect gift for cognac drinkers too.

I guess these aren’t really wine glasses but that’s what I use them for because they’re a cross between a stemless and a regular wine glass. I have a tendency to knock regular wine glasses over on the counter. These have a little bit of a stem so I like them better than stemless. Not the sturdiest tho - gotta be gentle washing and handling them. My husband has broken several unfortunately but they’re still my favorite every day wine glass.

Great glasses for brandy and even for whiskey. It really elevates my drinking experience. These glasses envelopes my whole nose and can smell deeply the aromas that my favorite drink has. A little pricey but worth the high quality.

I bought these because some fancy restaurant in New York said they were great wine glasses. They are very thin and fragile. The actual capacity is about 8oz not 12+--so not a very big water glass. They would do for a smidge of white wine. I do like how they look, with the short stem. I wil keep and be happy that I did not order more. Update-I was wrong. Not as small as they look, nor as fragile. I have been using these glasses regularly and like them way more than I thought I would. I also discovered that there is a larger sized of the same type-purchased those too.

Amazing product. Very high quality

I have plenty of water glasses. Who doesn't? But when I paired up my sturdy everyday water glasses with my fine china for Easter dinner, I realized I needed more than chunky hard-to-spill glass. My children are all grown - no need for that any more! After browsing different brands, my husband suggested these water goblets. They matched our wine glasses and held a nice amount of water. The glasses come in sets of two (helpful, I guess, if you need to replace just one or two) but my order of ten were all shipped together. The goblets are probably a little heavier than Riedel wine glasses but have a shorter handle and a wider "cup." Very attractive and easy to handle!

ステムが短くて、ワイングラスとは違う使い勝手のよさがある。

Cristallo sottilissimo.

Product is great! But postage was a 1/3 of the price of the product :-(

This is my 3rd purchase of these glasses. I bought them on the recommendation of Bon Appetite magazine who said that if you could have only one wine glass, this is it. Not as big and airy as a big Burgundy glass but it does the job universally and great for the summer outdoors. Top Quality. For Port?

Very pleased, could not find these in the shops, excellent quality.
