- good glassware for wine
Spiegelau makes excellent glassware for wine at a fraction of cost of Riedel.I always love Spiegelau and enjoy my wine experience with their wineglasses.I own Riedel and I think there is no major different between the two companies.
Keep in mind that these glasses are fragile and break easily.So, cheaper wine glasses also make it less painful to the pocketbook when they break.
Rating: - Good buy
Arrived on time, price was right, they are wonderful. Not problems with them in any respect.
Rating: - Excellent value
After we had broken a few too many of our favorite wine glasses, it was time to replenish our collection. Spiegelau glassware is attractive, affordable, and contributes to the overall enjoyment of a good glass of wine. Even though they are supposed to be dishwasher-safe, I still hand-wash them for safekeeping and longevity.
Rating: - dishwasher required
for those who have broken these glasses trying to wash them by hand---don't.They're dishwasher safe and survive much better that way.We have a bosch dischwasher (with all the attendant problems...but that's another story) and have never broken one of these glasses.
Rating: - absolutely dishwasher safe
I asked for these for Christmas because they had such high reviews and looked so nice.I read that they were dishwasher safe but have never really believed that.The glasses are beautiful and are good for both red and white if you are not picky about wine tasting.Best part is I put them in the dishwasher (and I don't even have a wine glass compartment or anything) and they were totally fine--even next to mugs and other glasses.I will definitely get more.
