Review on Riedel Ouverture Red Wine Glasses: Enhancing Your Wine Experience, Set of 2 by Jay Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small for a red glass, perfect for me.

This is my favorite wine glass and I have used a red wine glass for many years. This glass is perfect for everyday wine drinking, red or white wines are perfect. ice cubes? take action. This is the ideal "in-between size", much closer to a traditional white wine glass than a red wine glass. You can pour yourself a nice little half glass, about 125ml. This is a small glass but the hole in the rim is wide and the glass is thin so you can drink perfectly. I really don't need another glass. But wine snobs will wince at good red wine from this glass. Over the years I have ordered several sets of two glasses. Why? Although these glasses are quite resistant to crystal, if you knock the glass across the granite or dry it too aggressively, the shell will shatter. You can break the stem.

Pros
  • Machine wash at min 170°F/75°C
Cons
  • Some flaws
