Riedel Ouverture Pay 8 Get 12

Very nice wine glasses, price is right

The 3 styles of glasses that come with this set (4 larger magnums for red wine; 4 smaller glasses for red or white; and 4 champagne glasses) are all beautiful, feel very nice in your hand and look to be of high quality. For $80 you get 12 glasses, that’s less than $7 per glass- cannot beat the price. They don’t look cheap at all. To the contrary they look beautiful, the glass is thin but sturdy and we agree that wines taste better in these glasses than they did in our other (cheaper) glasses. Pricing is such that you can feel comfortable using them as your ‘every-day’ glasses, and they can easily be used for nicer occasions. Also if a glass breaks, your heart won’t break because it was only (less than) $7 / glass.

A few notes: the magnum has a very short stem, lending itself to cupping the vessel vs. holding the stem- which is a better way to drink a red wine. The magnum has a large opening so you can easily get your nose in there, dramatically enhancing the aroma. If you…

Stunningly beautiful wine glasses. Wish they would sell just the red wine glasses separately though. They are just what we needed.

Perfect for the price

These glasses arrived exactly as described and were in great shape. One star knocked off because it appeared that the red wine glasses might have been larger (more capacity and wider at the bowl), but for the money, you can’t get much better that the Ouverture Riedel line. As for those who said they broke the stems while cleaning: there are specific, step by step instructions on how to clean the glasses included in the awesome packaging, which can also double as storage when the glasses are not in use. I’ll definitely be buying a second set to have 8 of each glass for entertaining and am considering some of their sommelier glassware for nicer wines and occasions. Buy these glasses!
