Excellent, inexpensive - great for beginning oenophiles!
By Ted
If you're like me, you'd rather put your hard-earned money towards nice wines than on overpriced glassware. However, wine just doesn't taste the same if you drink it out of a plastic cup (yes, I am a college student). These entry-level glasses from Riedel fit the bill perfectly for my needs and are a great value for the price. The nose is enhanced, the taste is more pronounced, and the overal wine experience is heightened by using a high quality glass like this one. Plus, if one of them accidently gets broken, at [this price per] glass its not a big deal. However, I wouldn't trust the dishwasher with these glasses even though the description says you can. And yes, they are not crystal but they are very close at a fraction of the price. Highly recommended.

I was actually surprised to find that wine *did* taste better from these glasses than what I'd used before. (Hmmm -- not necessarily better; bad wines taste worse, an unanticipated consequence.) In addition, the glasses are simple but pretty without being so expensive that I'm afraid to use them. I'm even willing to put them in the dishwasher, an important consideration for a self-indulgent bachelor. (I did manage to break one, though -- my own fault.) All in all, could hardly have been better.

It's the little things you'll appreciate
By M. Grice
I have close to 50 glasses dedicated to alcohol of various types. The REIDEL Ouverture line is one of my favorites. Looking and touching the glass, you notice that the rim is ground and polished and the seams are minimimal, helping the glasses achieve an artistic beauty many glasses try to duplicate, but lack the attention to detail.
But, these are wine glasses not paintings... The lines will accent about any table and the attention to detail and really brings out the smallest subtleties in the wine. Does it really deserve 4 stars, well I'd give it 4.5-4.75, but that's not an option.
