RIEDEL Vinum Pinot Noir Set of 2

I owned these glasses overseas, and have just moved to the UK and they were one of the first things I had to buy again! These glasses are just beautiful. While they're specifically designed for sauvignon blancs, I use these for all white wines and they're just a delight to use. It's amazing what a difference good glassware makes to the aromas and flavours of a wine - even just a cheapie! While the crystal is thin, I've never broken or chipped Riedel glasses after 3 years, while I manage to regularly break cheaper glass brands. They're dishwasher safe too. Just do it.

Although Riedel glasses are not cheap they outclass all other wine glasses I have bought. Their design is perfectly suited to give the best possible bouquet and taste from the wine. The glass is very fine and light and the glasses are well-balanced, nice to hold; the wine looks good.Whilst I would recommend any Riedel glasses I have not chosen to buy different glasses to suit different wines, settling for champagne flutes, white wine and large red wine glasses. There may be some advantage to the connoisseur in having a wider range of glasses but I find those I have serve me very well.Highly recommended.

These glasses are a must for fans of claret. It's important to point out that these glasses are specifically designed for claret, Riedel do countless other varieties of glasses to suit all different types of wine. All Riedel glasses are shaped in such a way that the wine is delivered to the right part of the mouth for optimum taste.The glasses are really nice and large and very thin which is really good for getting air to the wine and you can see the wine clearly. Only downside is that they are easy to break (and costly to replace when you do break them!). I've managed to break one just washing it in the past.Highly recommended though, in my opinion the best glasses you can buy.

For my money, Riedel make the best wine glasses. They are not cheap, but for glasses matched to a particular wine I guess they are reasonable. Someone else remarked on the wide base of this glass and, yes, it does look a bit out of proportion but it's purpose is to give stability to the small-ish nature of the bowl I think. Riedel do a slightly bigger sauvignon blanc glass, which I think I will try once I've managed to break these.

We were given four of these as a present a dozen years ago. Thy're the perfect size and shape for a general-purpose wine glass and use them every day of the week. We now have seven of them and have broken a few over the years, always replacing them with the same thing. For me the biggest upside is that you can put them through the dishwasher five hundred times and they don't go cloudy. Brilliant!

I bought a pair of Riedel glasses and Im really impressed with them. They look sheer class and are robust enough for the dishwasher. Because of the high price however, ive decided not to buy more of them for guests and instead im going to buy some similar ones. Riedel should offer a four or six pack at a better value price.

Love these glasses. If you are a wine lover they are the glasses for you. Very thin but high quality that enhances the wine experience. Also got them at a super price, almost half price than in some UK shops and they arrived in tact in within 3 days of order from Germany. I was a little worried but it was fine and would get them from here again. They are also the genuine article.

Riedel offers the best wine glassware on the market with designs suited to different wines. The glassware is elegant, light and strong. I wouldn't wish to drink wine out of anything else!
