Founded in 1756, Austria’s Riedel Crystal is the world’s premier manufacturer of wine glasses and has always catered to the fine wine connoisseur. However, these wine tumblers are part of the company’s first attempt at producing a lower priced wine glass for casual entertaining. Like Riedel’s prestigious Vinum series of glasses, these tumblers are specifically designed for a particular grape varietal and still maintain their ability to enhance the flavors and aromas of the wines they were intended for. The only difference is that the tumblers are missing their stems, making them slightly less delicate to handle, more modern in appearance, and easier to fit in smaller cabinets, mini bars, picnic baskets, and the dishwasher. The O series of glasses are made of machine-made of non-leaded glass. The shape of the two glasses in this set is specifically recommended for young, full-bodied red wines with high tannin and extract, such as Cabernet or Merlot. Each glass holds 21-1/8 ounces of wine, stands 4-7/8 inches tall, and is completely dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde

Content: I read all of your reviews on Amazon, and being a new wine drinker went for the better glasses at the get go. I used the 4 for 3 promotion and bought 6 of these glasses as well as a Vinturi....
The glasses are awesome - they not only look great - out of the ordinary - but they fit in the dishwasher and the cabinets perfectly.
I always sit near a laptop while sipping my wine, and yes the stemmed glasses have tipped over on me a few times...luckily my laptops were saved. With these glasses I no longer will worry about tipping over a glass full of wine...
I love the look, the quality, and the design. Amazon price is exceptional.
Summary: Love them - Great Quality - Great Look

Content: This is a regular Riedel varietal wine glass with the stem removed. We use them daily and like them because they take up less space in the dishwasher and seem somewhat less likely to tip over on the table. A friend thinks they are too fragile but we have lost only two in two years, one to my mishandling and another the cat batted off the counter.
Summary: Look Ma, no stems!

Content: Both of these glasses are now gone. The glass is thinner then eggshells. If you use them then save them for special occasions only because they are more fragile then any other glass I've ever seen.
I replaced them with Libby's. Better price, set of 4 and better glass.
Summary: More fragile then eggshells

Content: I wanted something for drinking champagne without the fragility of a stemmed champagne flute. These are perfect! Of course, they are still delicate, but not as fragile as a typical champagne flute. Much better for parties. Lower center of gravity should assure fewer accidents.
Also, if you are a fan of barley wines, this is a perfect sized beer glass for enjoying those VERY strong brews. As with ALL Reidel glassware, it is not inexpensive, but very high quality.
Summary: Perfect for Champagne in a Stimless Glass!!

Content: These are nice glasses - a little big for my hand - I always feel like it could easily slip out. I like the stemless;, but it is very thin glass. We haven't broken any, but we do feel as if they would break easily. We ordered 4 and use them for "every day", but probably will not order more.
Summary: Nice
