Incorrect description: Best in hospitality and entertainment

The description of these glasses states that they hold 8 ounces. They barely hold six ounces! These are beautiful jars but thought I'd order 8 ounce jars.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Protection

Perfect Martini Glasses

I was a bit skeptical about these martini glasses. However, I'm so glad I bought them. The rounded edge makes them much more functional than regular straight sided martini glasses. They are easier to drink and more leak-proof.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Perfect glasses best in wine glasses

I will never buy any other brand of glass. I can definitely feel their unique shape enhancing the notes/flavor of a good wine/champagne no matter what your reason for buying them. I have two other sets of this brand in a unique shape for this type of wine and since I buy good wine I deserve good glasses and they are.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Seniors

Elegant but not quite my taste

They are beautiful and elegant but something about the shape/proportion doesn't quite match my personal aesthetic. But there's nothing wrong with them, I'm keeping them and I'm sure martinis drunk from them will be delicious. They are replacing a crystal martini glass that I had for a long time and was sad to lose, so maybe that's part of it.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Other Other

I like martinis best in wine glasses

I drink it almost every day. When my favorite glass broke, I looked for a replacement. I was hesitant but when I saw that they can be washed in the dishwasher I went for it. They look great and feel good in the hand. My favorite detail is the rim of the glass. So many martini glasses bounce at the top which can cause them to spill, but the steeply sloped rims of these glasses ensure I never lose a drop through a spill.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Good but not great

I love Riedel, but not this one.

I love Riedel glasses, I have several of most sets but these are faulty. I've bought more expensive Riedel glasses from Housewares (factory defect glasses) that have fewer defects than these. The stems of the glasses are fused which is well done but poorly done. Both jars have a groove to hook a nail in, it's that big. Don't waste your money when you're spending that much, spend a few bucks more and buy a decent Riedel or something else for the same price.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Do not buy. Very thin. Broke after one use.

I chose these because they were worth the extra money, the design and quality were superior to most competing glass products. When I received it, I was surprised at how thin the glass bezel was. It felt like it could break very easily. And after the first use they appeared. I was so disappointed as they are not the cheapest and was expecting a lot more. I will never buy this brand again. I only give two stars for the design. This is my favorite of all martini glasses. But they are useless ifโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Featured
Cons
  • Something different

Martini glasses are great but find another seller

These glasses are elegant, well balanced and a reasonable size. Would be a great birthday gift for my husband who loves craft cocktails. He's recently rediscovered old-school martinis and gimlets, only to discover that all of our bucket-sized, candy-colored martini glasses are relics of the '90s poundini craze. But this seller (VM Express) did not try to package them securely for shipping. Just tossed an open display box into a shipping carton, no filler, no padding, no brittle label. Not aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Frenzy

I love Riedel, but not this one.

I love Riedel goggles, I have a few from most sets but they have flaws. I've bought more expensive Riedel glasses from Housewares (factory defect glasses) that have fewer defects than these. The stems of the glasses are fused which is well done but poorly done. Both jars have a groove to hook a nail in, it's that big. Don't waste your money when you're spending that much, spend a few bucks more and buy a decent Riedel or something else for the same price.

Pros
  • Extreme ski goggles get their name from their extreme contours
Cons
  • No performance

Glass shape matters

I never gave much thought to which glass to use until I attended a Riedel wine glass tasting course. The right glass made me believe that a good Chardonnay is really worth the price. Wow. Dry Oregon Rieslings have always been great, and noticeably better in the right glass. Rose and Shiraz glasses are a gift (hope my husband isn't reading this review!) but I expect our New Year's Eve toasts to be even tastier. What they say is true: all Riedel jars are very light, more durable than you thinkโ€ฆ

Pros
  • All RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe
Cons
  • Big and bulky
