Title: Quality glasses at a good price
Review: 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 feel sheer and delicate, but not thick like a glass rim on a water glass. I think the rim enhances the wine from this glass.Perhaps the best quality of this glass is the way it looks sitting on the table. It is a very classic shape with the bowl having a slightly elongated look which makes it look delicate while still looking robust. They definitely look good and guests will give good comments about them.The glass is very large and if you are looking for the glass to enhance your wine, then you have to be selective in what you put into this glass. The bowl is so large that a normal pour leaves a lot of space between the liquid and your nose. Subtle and delicate wines are going to not show as well from this glass. I would not use this glass for old Bordeaux or Cabernet wines. Young California Cabernet is great from this type of glass and I think helps resolve the nose into a better flavor profile. I had a 2009 Caymus Cabernet from it the other night and it was very good.Do remember that it is a large glass. You can fit a whole bottle of wine in this glass, so be judicial in your pours. See the photo above with the wine in the glasses. It would be easy to over pour in this glass (and end up drinking more than you intended).This is a hand blown glass that is likely made to compete with the Riedel Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru, Single Stem which is not shown in the pictures above. The Riedel is only slightly larger, but it is lighter and more delicate. It is also much more expensive.If you are looking to impress and want a very large glass, then this is an excellent choice. It is not going to be the best glass for the majority of red wines, so if you are looking for a glass that is better for a larger number of wines, I suggest the Riedel Vinum Bordeaux, Set of 2 or the Ravenscroft Crystal Bordeaux Glass, Set of 4. Both of these are excellent glasses for most all Cabernet based wines and will do well for Merlot and Zinfandel wines as well. This is more of a specialized glass, but I highly recommend it.My shipping was fine with this glass. They arrived well packaged and were not broken.

Reviewer: This wine decanter is amazing. It is heavy good quality glass and looks amazing on my bar! I can’t wait for the holidays to use it and show it off to my guests!

Title: Happy Hours with these glasses
Review: Very happy with these stemless glasses! They are not too thin, but nice enough to think they are much more expensive than they cost. I just received them, so cannot speak to their durability. But I look forward to sharing happy hours using them with friends and family.The reason for the 4 stars is not about the quality of the glasses, but rather about Amazon's shipping. I ordered 2 sets of 6. Even before opening the Amazon outer box, I was surprised that there was no marking indicating that the package was "Fragile." The glasses were well package in their manufacturer's box with two layers of bubble wrap on each individual glass in between separations of cardboard. But, sure enough, 2 of the 12 glasses were broken in shipping. I need them for an event this week (I only need 8), so I will not go through the return process. But disappointed that Amazon did not take better care to notify its handlers that this item was indeed fragile.

Title: Better than advertised
Review: I was pleasantly surprised upon opening the package that the decanter was even better than I expected. Outstanding quality, very hefty and elegantly beautiful. I would have expected to pay three times what I did. Seller was on time and the product was packaged perfectly for safe arrival. One of those buys I know I will make again. Only this time for myself!

Title: Not dishwasher safe
Review: Good glasses except I bought them purely to have some wine glasses that were dishwasher safe and they’re not at all. Have lost 5 of 6 of them to the top rack of the dishwasher in just a couple of months.
