Review on Mikasa Melody Glass Carafe 45 Ounce by Ron Collins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very attractive, balanced, feels good in the hand

These glasses are beautiful. Their size and shape is just what you need for drinking white or rosé. Your nose fits snugly in the opening of the glass and you can really take a deep breath before you take a sip. The difference between using white from a red glass and from a white glass is striking. At least I had one of those glasses. The glass is both delicate and solid. It doesn't look big or bulky, it's easy to hold. When I washed them I didn't have my usual fear of breaking that I have with my red glasses. (They are so fragile my husband can't even wash red wine glasses. He washed one and he tried too hard and it broke in his hand.) The balance and design of these glasses make them practical. the trunk is very simple, or the base. Under the base is a shallow notch that your finger will naturally find and rest against for balance. You have amazing support. I thought several times while drinking from them how sweet they are. What a wonderful gift they would make. They're in the ideal "I spent enough money on a nice gift" price range and most people don't have white glasses. Most of my acquaintances who drink whites drink from ordinary glasses. I have wine lovers who take it more seriously. Go on wine tours, sip glasses, etc. And there are those who don't care, but there are those who appreciate.

Pros
  • EASY CARE: dishwasher-safe for quick and thorough cleaning
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
