 Riedel is the best in fine glassware.Nov 08, 2004
By kalyson
I've been using Riedel for years. (Pronounced "REEdul") Their best line is handblown Austrian crystal and is called the "Sommelier" series. VERY expensive, but peerless in quality and beauty. The next line down is also very fine and is called the "Vinum" series. My white wine glasses are from this series. My red wine glasses are from the "Overture" series -- the Magnum glasses. These are just the right size -- the Vinum can get quite large. I also prefer a shorter stem, which these have. I thought the Overture regular reds were a little too small for my taste (and smell!).
Overture is a little more durable, MUCH cheaper, but not quite as elegant. Still, they are very nice glassware and certainly nice enough to have for fine dining and guests.
I would suggest you NEVER put ANY Riedel glassware in the dishwasher. This is high quality Austrian crystal and it is definitely not a good idea to do that.

It worksAug 01, 2004
By unhappy buyer
When I first read the praises of these expensive glasses, I thought it was just more wine snob BS, but finally decided to try them. Sure enough, they make wine taste better compared to other shapes, but only you can tell if it's worth the price.
One rather blah zinfandel was transformed in the Riedel glass

Great glassesJan 11, 2003
Just wanted to second the motion that these are great glasses. They are not too large someone needs to let Dave know that wine glasses are not designed to be filled to the brim unless you're some kind of goof.

 Good low end but check out new VivantsNov 10, 2005
By Patrick Breitenbach
"pbreit"
I got a bunch of Overtures when Amazon was discounting them heavily but never did like the stumpy proportions. Now Riedel has apparently come out with a new low end line, Vivant, that it is selling through Target which is available through Amazon web site. For about the same price, it appears that you get a somewhat better glass.

riedel cabernet glassesDec 07, 2002
These glasses are broad enough to allow for a nice nose while small enough to use at the dinner table without appearing akward. They are also very elegant.
