I love these glasses and have them in several sizes for various wines. Personally I do not put them in the dishwasher as they are delicate and I think the dishwasher is too harsh on this type of glass. They have a great feel in your hand and definitely are the right shape to release the scents of the wines.

These were purchased as replacements for ones that have broken in the past. Great glasses...just be careful when washing them. They will break.

I love these glasses. They are attractive. Only drawback is that they are fragile, so one needs to be careful when washing them and on hard surfaces such as granite countertops and glass tables. I recommend them for everyday use as well as for entertaining.

These glasses, although delicate are beautiful, light weight but balanced and well constructed. I bought them for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves them. Yes, I am concerned I will break them, but you just have to be a little more careful. I'm not sure if they make the wine taste better, but you almost feel decadent using them.

We use these glasses everyday because they make wine taste better. We have done some taste tests and fully believe this to be true. Riedel's are simple and classy, makes one feel good about the glass of wine in one's hand.
