 Simple, reliable, and durable December 5, 2009

When I first started drinking wine a decade ago, I thought it'd be kind of cool to buy a bunch of different wine glasses. You know the drill: smallish ones for white wines, bigger ones for reds, humongous ones for Bordeaux, insanely large fishbowl-esque ones for Burgundy, and so on and so forth. Although it's nice to whip out the big fancy ones for a special occasion, I find myself returning to the Riedel Overture Magnum glasses again and again and again. Why? For one, they're big enough to allow for some mighty swirling without splashing wine all over yourself (which is embarrassing). They're also durable enough to stand up to (ahem) drunken handling during boisterous dinner parties and/or hungover washing up the morning after. They've survived the dishwasher a couple of dozen times and still look good; they seem to do just fine with any kind of wine (except for dessert wines - if you start pouring half bottles into these things, you run out too quickly). In short, these are the glasses you'll wind up using nearly every time you drink wine. Don't worry about those ridiculous "Nebbiolo only" or whatever glasses that cost the earth and are more fragile than Kanye West's ego - just grab a set of these and get down to drinking. You won't regret it.

After hearing my brother rave about the Riedel brand of higher priced glasses, I wanted a set of everyday glasses for mostly reds. Not thinking he could get a good set of Reidel's for the "price point", he purchased me 8 glasses from Target for @$80. Those quickly were returned for this set of 8 Riedel Ouverture Red Wine glasses for my "everyday" wine glasses. Yes, they are for "red wine", but I've enjoyed a few whites out of them as well with no complants. Overall, I'd rate this as a must buy for someone looking for an oversized/large everyday wine glass. In fact we like them so much, I just purchased a set for my brother-in-law and his fiance for Christmas. Ignore the 2 star rating, as they also raved about them as well in their review!

The quality of the Riedel products never disappoint. This glass is a bit shorter then one might expect but the quality is flawless as one would expect. I purchased these as a gift for my father and we were so happy with them that his Girl Friend went out and bought a second set for her home as well. Riedel does not disappoint, I only wish I could have a set of my own!
Perfect glasses for everyday use March 4, 2010

These are great wine glasses for everyday use. I was looking for a glass with a larger bowl, but that wasn't too big. I also didn't want a super tall glass because they can be awkward and are easier to tip over.
I love the short stem on these glasses because they are comfortable to hold. They just fit my hand and feel perfect. The bowls are big enough, but not too big. I also find that they work fine for both red and white wines. The quality is excellent and the value is superb.
I would highly recommend a set of these glasses.

Good heft, not too flimsy or too heavy and a great size for swirling. Best price around and well packed for shipping.
