Product Description
Introduced in 1989, Riedel's Ouverture collection is an uncomplicated beginner series for customers who appreciate good, reasonably priced wine. You needn't have an encyclopedic knowledge of varietals or wine-growing regions to appreciate this fine stemware.
Amazon.com Review
Perfect for everyday use, the four red-wine glasses in this set are part of the moderately priced Ouverture series offered by world-renowned Austrian wineglass maker Riedel Crystal (founded in 1756). Being lead-free, they're not crystal like Riedel's premium glasses but are machine blown of potash glass and are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedel's exacting standards, so wine flows easily onto the tongue. Each glass holds 12-3/8 ounces and stands 7-3/8 inches high. Though glasses shaped and sized for different types of wine seem commonplace today, when Riedel introduced this idea in 1961, it was revolutionary. Since then Riedel has continued fine-tuning glasses to bring out the best characteristics in wines and spirits. Varying bowls' shapes and sizes affects the position of the head when sipping and where wine first contacts the tongue's various taste zones. --Fred Brack

 Feel the quality! October 17, 2009
Ed Badders (Brazoria, Texas)
These glasses came through with the class and quality that I expected. They feel good in your hand, have an understated presence which allows the wine to take center stage. Highly recommend these and will be adding more of these to my collection.
Great everyday glass September 8, 2009
Larry C. Lorren (Austin, Texas)
This is the best everyday wine glass I have found. Good mouth feel and just the right size.
 These are far too tiny to be real wine glasses April 3, 2009

Read the dimensions carefully on this one because the picture makes them look like real wine glasses. They're not! They're tiny little taster glasses that can't hold a proper 5 ounce pour without being too full to benefit from the fancy shape (too little head space for proper bouquet or slosh-free swirling).
If you just want cute little wine glasses you can get them much cheaper and they'll work just as poorly. If you want proper wine glasses to do all that sniffing and swirling you need ones that are much bigger.
i was in love March 17, 2009
B. Chav (California)
When I ordered these, I was afraid to have some broken glasses as some other reviewers had said, but when I got mine, they were in perfect condition with safe packaging. It was actually a house warming gift for my boyfriend, but I feel like I loved it better than he did. I couldn't wait to use them. And when I did, it definitely made the wine taste better. Or maybe it was in my head, but I wouldn't know. I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants really nice, affordable wine glasses. They're a perfect size for both red and white wines. Very beautiful, and very elegant. I'd definitely buy more..
