Kitchen & Housewares : Riedel Vinum Bordeaux/Cabernet Glasses, Set of 4 |
- Beautiful but fragileI have owned Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glasses for a decade and love them for their size, shape, clarity, and elegance. However, I have stopped purchasing them. Why? All one needs to do is look at them firmly and they break. My wife and I finally made a rule never to wash them after drinking any amount of wine. Then we escalated to not washing them if we were tired or distracted. Finally, we solved this ongoing problem by purchasing Spiegelau Vino Grande Red Wine Glasses recommended by a friend. At initial evaluation they look virtually identical to the Riedels, but on closer inspection are slightly thicker although an almost perfect match in shape. The feel is similarly elegant. The Reidels have been moved to the back of the cupboard. After breaking 3 or 4 Reidels per year, we have not broken a single similar Spiegelau in 2 years.
Rating:
- A Necessity!I thought these were an unnecessary extravagance when my husband first purchased them. Now, I refuse to use anything BUT these glasses when we drink wine. The price makes them perfect for everyday; the performance makes them a necessity for the true wine connoisseur.
