Review of Spiegelau Vino Grande Champagne, Set of 2

I am wine collector w a sommeliers diploma - so I've done a lot of tastings over the past 20 years. Obviously the top league is held by Riedel - the old guy did his research on glass shapes (although debatable whether optimal for every varietal).
I find the Spiegelau's better value for money in the long run.

Pro's:
1. Thicker and more durable than Riedels. I used to wash Riedels in a dishwasher - some breakages resulted. The Spiegelaus are tougher.
2. Specific to the champagne flutes - I find the overall balance of the glasses very good. They are stylish, yet still functional in that the closing tulip preserves the flavors.

Cons:
1. Not Riedel?

Great value - good for every day use, but will still serve as excellent tasting glasses.

Recommended.

Review of Spiegelau Authentis Casual Burgundy Stemless Tumblers, Set of 4 in Gift Tube

We are wine enthusiasts and have a cellar, and for many years we used only expensive stemmed glasses.However,over the last 4-5 years we have been using the stemless glasses, with pleasure, since they are less likely to be knocked over and broken.I like being able to put them in the dishwasher if possible, but am thinking these are too thin for that.They are an ample size for robust reds, and the clarity of the glass helps to see the true color of the wine.These glasses are very thin walled with a functional shape, which makes them elegant for entertaining.The packaging is very clever and makes for safe shipping.The only regret I have is that we didn't order more!

Review of Spiegelau Vino Grande Burgundy Wine Glasses, Set of 6

These glasses received the top rating from the Wall Street Journal's wine journalists, and as a result, I decided to buy 2 sets of 6, replacing our standard Williams Sonoma red wine glasses.After using them for about a month for various red wines, they have made me realize that I've been missing much of my wines' bouquets.They are big, so you can pour yourself a full serving, and still have plenty of room to swirl your wine without worrying whether your Cabernet will end up all over your rug.After that, bury your nose in the glass.The shape of the glass has allowed me to enjoy the wine's nose more than ever before.The bouquet simply explodes relative to my previous wine glasses.This alone seems intoxicating!
The glasses are made with lead crystal, but balance the delicacy of super-thin glasses with enough substance so you aren't constantly worried about breaking one (and even if you do, they are inexpensive enough to easliy replace).A case of six glasses costs about the same as 3 $15-$20 bottles of wine, and will enhance every bottle you drink.A great product.

Review of Spiegelau Vino Grande Value Pack Wine Gift Set, 24- Piece

I'm so sad.I ordered this set for a dinner party, but never even received it.I just got a message from FEDEX that said package damaged--undeliverable.I'm sure the glasses are really nice, because I got the water glasses from the Spiegelau Vino Grande collection from Overstock, and it is NICE. Amazon just had the best prices for this set.However, their customer service is first class.I got my refund and an apology immediately, but what I really want are these glasses.They have run out of stock, so I have to get this somewhere else!
