Customer Response

The Perfect Wine Glass
Riedel is the best for a reason. These are beautiful large glasses, perfect for reds.

Fine but not fragile
I own the Overture magnum, white wine and champagne glasses. I love them. They look and feel delicate without being overly fragile. I'm a wine fan and love exploring but wouldn't consider myself a wine snob. My parents have glasses from a more expensive Riedel line which is admittedly more finely made but ridiculously fragile. No matter how careful I am I seem to always break one while washing them. Not so with the Overture series. These make wonderful everyday wine glasses.

Poor quality control
I've been a Riedel user for many years, including a set of the Sommelier series. These Ouverture Magnums have been our everyday wine glasses, and when some break I order more. The most recent set was very disappointing, with visible striations on the rim edges from substandard "polishing" on all four glasses, and you can feel the roughness when you run your fingernail along it. So think twice or three times before you buy, and recognize that you get what you pay for.

My thoughts on Riedel wine glasses
I always thought that any glass would do until I tries the Riedel brand.
These last ones were a gift to my grandson. I myself really like the stemless ones, but the quality is the same.

Average at best
Dpn't be fooled by the Riedel name on these. These glasses are average at best, nothing like Riedels higher end lines. Definitely a 'name cheapening' product. Splurge for the Vinum line - you won't be disappointed.
