Kitchen & Housewares : Riedel Vinum Bordeaux, Set of 2 |
- Class above averageThis wine glasses are separate from the pack because their design, quality of the crystal and feeling. For a bourdeaux or a cavernet, there is nothing like a good transparency, a nice design that lead the bouquet rigth into your nose and the correct weight feeling.
If you are a wine collector, chances are that you already own one of these glasses, but if you dont, get some!

- The only way to drink redsWorth the price. While not "unbreakable", the design does enhance the taste of a good red by openning up the wine. Why invbest in decent wine and drink it out of the wrong glass? Why bother?

- 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.
