Customer Response

Wine glasses
These glasses are wonderful. I would definetly buy more.
The quality is very good for the price.

Perfect Size
Riedel Ouverture Red Wine Glasses, Set of 4

For me these are the perfect size of glass. Although they are made for Red Wine I use them for White as well. They are very good quality and pretty sturdy. I have had the more expensive Riedel glasses and they are wonderful but very fine and tend to break more easily. By the way it is pronounce Ree-dull, not Rydel like the high-school in Grease. Enjoy!

Good value
These aren't the most elegant wine glasses in the world but they are attractive enough to put on all but the fanciest tables. The pricing is fair and not a level that you would avoid using them because of concerns about breaking one. The bottom line is that they represent a good value and they also do justice to your wine.

Poor Packaging!!!!!!!
While the items arrived in a timely manner, there was absolutely no packaging in the box to protect the wine glasses. Unfortunately, there were broken glasses. I returned them indicating what had happened in transit and they sent out a new set- with no packaging. Once again we had broken glasses.
Did someone actually think four sets of wine glasses would survive a cross-country trip on a truck with no wrapping or packaging?

Too many imperfections
Maybe it was this particular batch combined with poor quality control/inspection, but there were lots of flaws on each glass in one of two sets I bought. I have other Riedel wine glasses that are terrific. These were very poor quality; seemed like a cheap imitation or cheaper version of Riedel's glasses.
