RiedelEXTREME RIESLING

These are high quality, visually striking glasses that work well for Bordeaux blends and Cabernet based wine. They also serve very well for Syrah and other big, bold tannic varietals. I've found them very effective for really high quality Chardonnay as well. I have done very well blind tasting from these. The rim is nice and thin.That being said, if you want some general purpose red wine glasses I prefer Riedel Vinum Syrah glasses. They are my absolute favourite red wine glasses that show the qualities of all red wines perfectly - at least to my palate.Just a note: when I was buying these 2x2 packs are cheaper than one four pack but, especially now I've put it in this review, someone at Amazon is bound to notice that little cheaper glasses-wheeze soon enough!

I choose wine glasses primarily on the shape - I haven't yet found my perfect champagne tulip, but these looked good. And they are fine; the upside is they feel tough, are dishwasher safe, and very cheap compared to most other Riedel glasses. However this comes at a cost - the glass is thicker, especially the base, and the stem and bowl are two parts welded together, so there is a noticeable join rather than a smooth finish from top to bottom. Good if you're serving to clumsier guests or people who'd be daunted by the finest paper-thin crystal, but not delicate enough for serving the best wines in. A great starter glass, albeit quite small by modern standards.

The glasses are very nice and fancy. I was positively surprised by the "Greenfill"eco-packaging (instead of the use of styrofoam). Would recommend them.

These were disappointing and I was looking for a much bigger Martini glass. When you actually use them the hold around 125ml of fluid comfortably. I say comfortably because beyond this they would spill.

Stunning
