Product Description
As Featured in The Wall Street Journal's Wine Notes Section, July 2007 Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher's "everyday glass". Founded in 1521, Spiegelau is one of the oldest and most famous European manufacturers of fine crystal, located in the small town of Spiegelau in the heart of the Bavarian Forest. Being one of the most picturesque parts of Germany, this area has in recent times become as much a centre of tourism as well as a traditional center of glassmaking. Today, the Spiegelau brand has become synonymous with quality stemware, especially among the worlds leading sommeliers and wine connoisseurs. The machine-made Vino Grande Series is exceptionally beautiful and durable and is designed to enhance a wines flavor and bouquet. Each shape is specific to how the wine will aerate and how the bouquet will be delivered to your nose Dishwasher safe. Size: 8-1/2"H, 25 oz.

Amazon.com Review
Several years ago, an article in Wine Spectator magazine noted the importance of a high-quality glass for improving a wine's looks and enhancing its bouquet. However, the magazine lamented, many of the attributes that increase the beauty and value of the glass actually obscure the wine. Spiegelau's Vino Grande series is part of a connoisseur line designed specifically for wine lovers. The thin rim means less distraction from the taste and texture of the wine. Tap the glass gently with your fingernail and you'll hear the distinctive ping of fine crystal.

This glass, which measures 8-1/2 inches high, features a wide bowl and narrow rim ideal for Burgundy wines. Like all red-wine glasses, it should be filled only one-third of the way so the wine can be swirled to release its full flavor. These glasses are billed as dishwasher-safe and are sturdy enough for everyday use, as proven by their use in restaurants. Still, we'd recommend hand washing. --Irene Svete

Even my husband is satisfied April 23, 2008
My husband is a stickler for red wine glasses . . . they have to be big, they have to let the wine breathe, feel good in the hand, etc. So when I bought these glasses sight unseen, I was taking a risk that he wouldn't like them. But he does! (And I think they're a good value for high-quality glasses.) Highly recommended.

The Very Best March 8, 2008
I have been tasting; buying; drinking and investing in wine (incl futures) for nearly 50 years and the Spiegelau Grande Burgundy is my favorite "perfect" wine glass.
Even better @ $4.99 a stem seveal times a year at Sigel's Wine in Dallas when on sale.
Salud.

Wonderful, but breakable! January 31, 2008
I love these wine glasses. My roommate had bought some and after I moved away and I looked everywhere for them until I realized I could order them on Amazon. I like these because I have low cabinet shelves and they fit in my cabinets, where many other red wine glasses are too tall. They are good and fat, plenty of room to swoosh your red wine around in. Great to use for all red wines, in my opinion. The edge of the rim is narrowly tapered (straight edge instead of a rolled rim), which is a sign of a true quality wine glass (so that the wine doesn't get blocked by the rim while leaving the glass. I learned this while researching wine glasses). The only negative thing about them is that they break very easily. I would not dare put them in the dishwasher. I have broken 2 out of 6. But I would still buy them again.

I love the size of these wine glasses and the price. My only complaint would be that they are fragile. I would have liked them to have been made of a thicker glass, however, for the price they are excellent.
