Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Spiegelau Authentis Collection Burgundy Wine Glasses, Set of 6
Customer Review: Wow - What an Experience
Summary: 5 Stars
I first started my love affair with wine about 10 years ago and decided that it was finally time for me to enjoy my pastime even more with some quality stemware, partially because of tasting some wine from a Riedel glass that a friend of mine has. After quite a bit of research I decided to purchase the Spiegelau after many of the positive comments that I had read during my research, even though the Riedel was recommended more, and in part to the excellent price.Right out of the box you can tell that these beautiful, what look like hand crafted glasses, are of exceptional quality for the price. After my first glass of wine I was sold and to be honest had a difficult time telling the difference between the Riedel and these glasses, which are a quarter of the price.
I eventually ended up ordering 36 glasses in total. The glasses were packaged very well and very securely.
Conclusion: These are great stemware at an even greater price. I you are in the market for quality stemware for wine don't throw away your money on the super expensive $50+ per glass when you can pay less than $50 for 6 (or 12 if the current sale is still going on) because unless you're an expert sommelier will won't be able to tell the difference. You, your dinner quests and your friends will really enjoy these glasses.
Even thought the manufacture states that the glasses can be put in the dishwasher I wouldn't try it.
Customer Review: Correct Wine Glass
Summary: 5 Stars
Please note that the wine glass depicted above is slightly different than the ones I received. The new ones are slightly taller, narrower at the mouth, and wider with a more angular flare in the girdle. This is a better glass that the old Burgundy bowl from Spiegelau. Also note that appropriate stemware does enhance a wine's flavor, nose and appeal, at least for me.Customer Review: Wine tastes so much better in these glasses!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I love these glasses. They are really really thin and wine taste so much better on the lips. Because the glass is large there is so much more aroma. It is easy to see the "legs" of the wine on the side of the glass. I don't think I ever tasted the real wine flavor before I used Spigelau glass.Customer Review: Bigger is Better
Summary: 5 Stars
When it comes to a wine glass for wines from the Burgundy region, or in the Burgundy style, Bigger is Better. Not only are these glasses big, but the bowl is shaped to allow the most surface area of the wine possible to come in contact with the air. Fill this glass to the widest part of the bowl and give it a big swirl. This glass will make even an inexpensive wine taste like you have something to celebrate.Customer Review: Too good to be true?

Ordered the "Buy one get one" offer on 10/24. Received a notice that the shipment would be delayed on 11/10. Then was told that my order has been canceled, as the items were no longer available. Then, low and behold: the glasses, price, and "Buy one, get one" offer is still being displayed! False advertising? You decide...
