Ravenscroft Crystal Bordeaux Grand Cru Glass, Set of 4

Quality glasses at a good price

I have posted some pictures of this glass next to a selection of other glasses at the top of this page. There are a lot of notes on the picture with wine in the glasses but I think you have to click on the picture to open the gallery to be able to see them.

This is a large wine glass at about 11″ tall. The foot of the glass (large disk at the bottom) is very large and heavy. That is good since it gives the glass a lot of stability and you do not feel like you are going to knock it over.

The bowl of the glass is also very large and heavy. This counter balances the large foot, but there is sort of a dumbbell feel to the glass with both ends being quite heavy. The stem is robust so there is a good feel in your hand.

The rim is one of the most important elements of a wine glass. In general, the thicker the rim the less enjoyable to glass is to drink from. This has a nice thin-to-medium rim that goes nicely with the glass. It is not so thin as to…

The perfect Cabernet glass at an affordable price

Nice glasses – but don’t buy them at Amazon just now!

These are great glasses, fine and delicate, but Amazon doesn’t know how to package them! Ordered them three times, and each time one or two glasses arrived broken due to inadequate packaging and I had to return them. Amazon says they will review their packaging guidelines and remove these from inventory until they can assure safe transit. I’m a huge Amazon fan and have ordered many items of all types, and this is the first experience I’ve had like this. I do think it’s a fluke and believe they will fix it. They made it right by me. Also want to praise Ravenscroft, the manufacture of these handmade crystal glasses. Called them for advice and they were 110% helpful! They suggested using “Goo Gone” to remove the heavy adhesive from the stickers on the glasses. Even sent me a replacement glass on their own, knowing I had made the purchase through Amazon!
