Good low end but check out new Vivants November 10, 2005

I got a bunch of Overtures when Amazon was discounting them heavily but never did like the stumpy proportions. Now Riedel has apparently come out with a new low end line, Vivant, that it is selling through Target which is available through Amazon web site. For about the same price, it appears that you get a somewhat better glass.

Big glasses for big reds August 23, 2005
Really big red wines deserve a really big glass. The Reidel Magnum has just the right capacity and design to let that big red open up to full potential. After many sips, you can even get tacky, lick your finger, swirl the rim, and let the lead-free crystal sing.

Riedel is the best in fine glassware. November 8, 2004

I've been using Riedel for years. (Pronounced "REEdul") Their best line is handblown Austrian crystal and is called the "Sommelier" series. VERY expensive, but peerless in quality and beauty. The next line down is also very fine and is called the "Vinum" series. My white wine glasses are from this series. My red wine glasses are from the "Overture" series -- the Magnum glasses. These are just the right size -- the Vinum can get quite large. I also prefer a shorter stem, which these have. I thought the Overture regular reds were a little too small for my taste (and smell!).
Overture is a little more durable, MUCH cheaper, but not quite as elegant. Still, they are very nice glassware and certainly nice enough to have for fine dining and guests.
I would suggest you NEVER put ANY Riedel glassware in the dishwasher. This is high quality Austrian crystal and it is definitely not a good idea to do that.

When I first read the praises of these expensive glasses, I thought it was just more wine snob BS, but finally decided to try them. Sure enough, they make wine taste better compared to other shapes, but only you can tell if it's worth the price.
One rather blah zinfandel was transformed in the Riedel glass

A great starting point... November 7, 2003

A nice first step toward seriously enjoying wine. The technical part of the Riedel design has merit, I'm sure, but like the right new suit, a classy wine glass adds another dimension to fine living.
