when you are too lazy to wash your good glasses by hand January 9, 2006
As other reviewers have commented, you do touch the bowl of these glasses with your hands which does warm the wine. However, if your sink is cluttered with unwashed riedel sommeliers and vinums, like mine, embrace the truth and go for the "O". Do not underestimate the importance of "dishwasher-safe".

Great for cocktails! December 28, 2005
I received six of these as a gift over two months ago. I immediately opened one of the boxes and decided to pour a cocktail in one rather than wine. Since then, I have had every drink out of them except wine. For some reason when I drink wine, I forget to get them out. But there is no reason that wine would not be fantastic out of them. They really are cool glasses although a bit on the fragile side. I have not broke one but can tell that they would break very easy if dropped in an empty sink or such. I would highly recommend them even if you use them for wine! Mine came from Kyrian Crystal which will engrave them for you, giving them a very elegant and personalized touch.

Nice but not for small hands December 18, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I would rate them highly for appearance, apparent quality, and a nice slightly rounded edge to make them easy on the lips. Of course, without a stem, they will not insulate the bowl from the warmth of your hands and can be expected to warm the wine if you are holding it between sips, as you might at a party. And a warning to those with small hands, you may not feel like you have a very secure grip on this large glass. They have some other smaller versions you might like better.

Good for casual use December 12, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

These glasses are a good choice if the stemmed version would be clumsy (casual gatherings outdoors), but the lack of stem does cause the wine to warm in your hand. I use them when I'm out at the grill or moving about.

The glasses are made of NON-LEADED glass (see the description).

Never serve good wine in a bad glass. December 9, 2005
12 out of 24 found this review helpful

I have always thought of myself as a wine connoisseur, not a wine snob so bear that in mind as I tell you that these "fashionable" glasses need to be used for something other than wine. Even a modestly decent wine will taste different in every glass, thus the wine glass can kill your wine. Insisting on fine stemware for your wine is "not" snobbery--it is just a good investment on top of the expense of your wine.

So, as for these stemless tumblers--Your hand on the bowl warms the wine, hides the wine and leaves fingerprints. Need I say more? The only time you want to warm the product in the glass is when you have brandy or cognac or a similar beverage that increase in quality and flavor when gently warmed. Wine DOES NOT fit in that category. Unfortunately, these glasses aren't for those beverages either. Everyone knows that the serving temperature of wine is of paramount importance. All "balance" of the wine (red or white) will be lost.

Riedel is a wonderful company, but I must protest the stemless wine glass.
