Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque 5-3/4-Ounce Snifter, Set of 6
Works, But Stumpy Looking
The shape of the glass seems to work fine for cognac but the actual glass is slightly wider and shorter than the image on Amazon which makes the glass a little stumpy looking. Also the base is noticeably wider than the widest part of the part that holds the spirit when you see it in person. The image is slightly elongated on the box, too, so it isn’t just the picture on Amazon. I bought these as replacements for the two Riedel Hennessey glasses I accidentally broke and miss them after getting these Luigi glasses. It also makes me wish that I had gone with the Stolze glasses instead, assuming the photo on Amazon also isn’t distorted. I am keeping these though because they work fine and I don’t want to pay the return shipping fee. Also, I might accidentally break these too and these are cheaper than those other two brands I’d mentioned.
Great glass for apertifs, scotch, and more
Luigi Bormioli glassware is wonderful, we have these snifters, the 6-ounce perlage to use as champagne flutes, and the grappa glasses as well. All have beautiful contemporary styling, dishwasher safe due to their strength, and are well sized for their respective duty in ferrying your favorite beverage to your nose and then your palate. Great pricing on Amazon and for Prime you can’t beat it. I used standard glassware (e.g. highball or lowball) but only use those for when I need ice. The snifter is great for apertifs, scotches and bourbons, digestifs, you name it.
Elegant, gorgeous and serve well
These sweet little glasses are perfect for apertifs, ports, or any sort of small serving you want to present with elegance. They are quite sturdy (for glass) and thankfully can go in the dishwasher. I’m glad for the titanium reinforcement (and instead of lead crystal). Go ahead and invite your most boisterous friends to toast with no worries as the glasses clang.
The only downside is that you’ll like drinking out of them so much you may begin to imbibe a tad too frequently. They really do make you feel like you’re having a decadent treat. Great for entertaining, as you’re sure to have some very happy guests when you roll these out. They definitely say “celebration.” Enjoy.
