Amazon.com Review
Invoking the spirit of Italian vineyards, Lenox has created the Tuscany Classics line of stem- and barware with elegant proportions and beautifully balanced shapes. These generously sized Grand Burgundy glasses provide plenty of room to swirl wine gently while enjoying it. Crafted from full-lead crystal, each glass features tapered sides to keep aromas inside and a flared lip to enhance drinking pleasure. Surprisingly comfortable for their size, the glasses hold 30-1/2 ounces each, standing 10-1/2 inches high and measuring 3-1/2 inches in diameter at the mouth. Lenox includes a lifetime replacement policy with this set. Washing by hand is recommended. --Emily Bedard

Lenox v Riedel and Spiegelau August 5, 2003
16 out of 16 found this review helpful

I imagine most shoppers will be considering crystal stemware from Spiegelau (the slightly less expensive Authentis collection) and Riedel (roughly half the price of the Vinums.) Having had the pleasure of sampling Burgundy -- Oregon Pinot Noir actually -- from all recently, I offer the following commentary on the Lenox stemware:
1.) In terms of wine-tasting, the glasses perform better than the comparably priced Spiegelaus, and (in my humble opinion) better than the more expensive Riedel Vinums. I believe this is mainly due to the shape of the lip on the Lenox glasses, which directs the Pinot Noir grape to the proper area of the mouth while allowing a generous aroma to protrude from the bowl. Riedel's Vinum Burgundy glasses do not offer the curved lip, although the very expensive Riedel Sommeliers do.
2.)Regarding general concerns and aesthetics, I have several comments. First, these glasses are much heavier than those of its competitors. I believe this is the result of the fact that they are crafted with full-lead crystal (vs. 5% for the Spiegelau and 24% for the Riedels), and the fact that they are larger, holding roughly 5 more ounces than the others. Keep in mind that those with petite hands and fingers may prefer the less heavy stemmware. Second, although heavier, the glasses are more durable due to the high-lead content in the crystal. The common complaint regarding the Spiegelaus concerns their breakability. (This is less of an issue with the Riedels due to the higher lead percentage.) Lastly, the sheer beauty of the curved-lipped Lenox glass is not to be overlooked.
