Amazon.com Review
Bavarian glassmaker Riedel has established itself as an industry leader in the manufacture of fine crystal stems for the discriminating wine lover. With several lines of wineglasses at several price points, Riedel brings its overriding philosophy--that the tongue is divided into zones, and that by directing specific wines to specific lingual zones by means of alterations to the size and shape of the glass, added sensory dimension can be mined from the wine--to the marketplace. The Gourmet glass is an all-purpose, come-one-come-all, all-wines-welcome vessel manufactured--as all Vinum are--in non-leaded crystal. There are some 19 models in the Vinum series alone, each designed to showcase something different: fruit, acid, Bordeaux, Burgundy. With its short stem and capacious tapering bowl, no. 416/21 serves as an affordable, utilitarian, easy-care entrée--a sort of "baby's first Riedel" welcoming to any wine, be it red, white, or rosé. --Tony Mason

Next time when I purchase I would check the bowl size. I expected it to be larger.
great for whites and dishwashers January 6, 2009

this is the second time I've ordered these glasses, replacing some that broke from daily usage. their short stems are ideal for dishwashers. the small bowl however makes them less than ideal for hearty reds. best for white wines. for reds, go with Riedel's stemless tumbler style wine glasses. the lack of a stem is not ideal, but you'll appreciate how they fit in the dishwasher.

These glasses are very hard to find. So I looked on google and saw that Amazon had them. No only did they have them they were at a great price. So I bought some and when they can in , I saw they were exactly what I was looking for so I ordered 12 more glasses.
Excellent Wine Glasses! April 1, 2008

These are the glasses that M.Chapoutier uses in their tasting room for their exquisite wines in France. I have been searching for this glass since I broke the glass I brought back. If they are good enough for Chapoutier's Châteauneuf du Pape, they are good enough for me!

I can't say enough good things about these glasses. The shape is ideal for red wine and/or any other beverage. The short stems make them ideal for the dishwasher and less susceptible to be knocked over by those who move their hands when they talk. My first set was purchased over 10 years ago. Because I used them "everyday" (the name is appropriate), it took over 10 years to break them all. Actually, I think a 6.7 earthquake finished off the last three(out of six). I have spent one year experimenting with other glassware, but nothing is a substitute for Riedel's Everyday Glass. If you want to feel elegant everytime you have a beverage, buy these. NOTE: The Everyday Glass (13 oz) is slightly larger than the Water Glass.
