Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Spiegelau Vino Grande Red Wine Glasses, Set of 6
Customer Review: fabulous everyday wine glasses
Summary: 5 Stars
These glasses are the perfect size for your everyday wine glasses for red or white. They are durable too. Customer Review: Fine as Riedel, Tough like Plastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Very delicate yet very tough glasses. I've owned my set for 4 years, using them regularly, almost every day, and they have yet to break or show signs of deterioration. They have been knocked over many times on a tile counter and have survived every impact. I highly recommend these.Customer Review: Yes! These are worthy glasses
Summary: 5 Stars
All the other laudatory reviews have said it well; I am just adding another acclamation. These are great glasses for the money. They aren't too tall to fit on your shelf, either, which after all is a consideration, nor are they so gangly as to be in danger of tipping over constantly. They have very thin lips. They hold a lot, which saves all that time going back to the bottle, but still leave room to breathe and diffuse the scent of the wine. Everyday wine glasses by their very nature have a rather short life-span, but these, during their time in your house, will look good and serve you well,and when they break, as they inevitably will, it won't be too expensive to replace them.Customer Review: not wonderful for red wine
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these because they are advertised as "vino grande red wine glasses." I bought a similar-titled item 2-3 years ago but they had a different and more red-wine-friendly shape. Actually, they are more suited for white wine or a desert wine. Red Wine likes a large bowl with a thin lip. The glass is high end (spiegelau is wonderful) but the bowl is not large. If you prefer a barolo or cabernet type wine, you would be advised to purchase the "burgundy" or "bordeaux" glass which is better suited for most red wines.Customer Review: Very nice
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't pretend to be an expert in anything, much less wine, so I'll spare you the comparisons to other brands. To me, this is the nicest glass I've used anywhere, period. My travel experience is limited but I've been to numerous wineries and fine restaurants, many in Napa included, and this seems to be the glass most widely recommended. After using these I don't think I'll ever use anything else and I will always be spoiled from now on when dining out and having to use a lesser glass. I can't imagine needing anything more extravagant. The glass definitely plays a factor in the enjoyment of a good bottle, highly recommended you pick these up.
