Had these for 2 weeks and already broke two. One just tipping over on the carpet. The other while hand washing. These are not much more durable than the Vinum Riedel series, but much more economical [...]

We kept breaking the Vinum series or Reidel glasses...they are too fragile for everyday use. These are very durable and not much heavier than Reidel, add to that the excellent price and replacement guarantee and you have a winning wine glass.

I purchased 4 of these over a year ago to add to the 8 standard glasses I had. After one year 5 of my standard glasses have broken and these are still as new. Only glasses I will buy from now on.

Not Like Crystal - Too Thick

 
3.0

Pros

  • Attractive Design

Cons

  • Too Heavy
  • Difficult To Clean

Best Uses

  • Anytime

I use daily and for guests. The shape is pleasing - maybe a little too big/tall. The material is dull - not like crystal at all. The lip is too thick. Requires a lot of buffing to make it clean and clear.

These glasses feel nice in the hand, not clunky yet not so delicate you are afraid to use them. I'm very pleased and will order another set.

  • Shape of Bordeau glass

Best Uses

  • Informal Dining

These are very fine glasses that rival the Riedel in quality but are tougher and stand up better for more day to day use. The design of the Pinot Noir stems are wonderful. The Bordeau stems are not as pleaseng in the shape of the bowl, but drink well.

We didn't know what to expect when the glass was being considered break resistant. We were worried about thick glass and instead, these are beautiful,thin, lovely glass and really hold up. I am a clutz by nature and still have them all after several months. Excellent buy and I would recommend them to my fellow clutzes!

  • they do FEEL delicate

Best Uses

  • Special Occasion

  • Informal Dining

We use the wine glasses daily. They are holding up well thus far. The wine glasses, by all appearances, are very delicate. For that reason I have not as yet placed them in the dishwasher, prefering to wash by hand. But, we are enjoying them.

they're big

Pros

  • Attractive Design

Cons

  • Only two glasses will fit
  • Ie too big for rack
  • Shelf rack at a time
  • On the undercounter

Best Uses

only two glasses will fit on the undershelf wine rack at a time as the glasses are too big for the unit--if you put more than two glasses, they will slide off. I bought the glasses specifically for that purpose and unfortunately, only six will fit on the rack.

Disappointed

Pros

  • Comfortable To Hold
  • Attractive Design

Cons

  • Stem broke rather easily

Best Uses

  • Informal Dining
  • Formal Dining
  • Special Occasion

While I like the way the glasses look & feel, I bought them because of the claim of most break resistant glassware. Mind you prior to this purchase, I was still using the stemware purchased >30 years ago after I married. I washed a stem and placed it on the wine glass drain portion of my dish drain. The drain was gently bumped, the glass fell to the counter top (laminate, not granite & not very far to fall). The bottom of the stem broke off.

These glasses transition from having a glass of wine while engaged in meal preparation, to the dining room, or better yet, sharing a vintage red with friends. A true 'all occasion' glass.
