Riedel O Viognier/Chardonnay Wine Glass, Set of 6 with 2 Bonus Glasses



Product Description

Is this a bargain, or what? This new freebee pack gets you eight ( yes, 8.) Riedel O Viognier/Chardonnay stemless tumblers for the price of six. Designed by 11th generation, Maximilian Riedel, these Riedel O Viognier/Chardonnay tumblers are reminiscent of the vinum bowls, only without the stem. Trendy and sophisticated, these tumblers will perform much like Riedel's preceding wineglass creations, but will also fit easily into the dishwasher or cupboard without the worries of breaking the stem. For those who would like to experience the concept of matching the shape of the glass to the grape without the traditional stemmed glass, these Riedel O wine tumblers are the answer.

Amazon.com Product Description
With its O collection, renowned wine glass creator Riedel brings modern functionality to the age-old pleasures of wine. Like other Riedel lines, O glasses are specifically shaped and sized to suit particular varietals but with the additional benefit of stemlessness. This innovation creates a lovely rounded silhouette that cradles pleasantly in the hand while fitting better than traditional stems in the cupboard, picnic basket, and dishwasher. Machine-made in Germany of nonlead glass, these O Viognier/Chardonnay glasses are packaged in a convenient set of six with two bonus glasses included for an exceptional value. Standing 3-7/8 inches tall, each one holds 11-1/4 ounces. Look for coordinating O versions of pinot noir and cabernet glasses to fully stock the wine cupboard.

Great simple glasses5
We purchased 6 of these about 2 years ago and liked them so much we finally completed our set of 12. They are especially good for us because we host large family gatherings often and inevitably one of the kids accidentally knocks over a glass - because these have no stems, not a single one of them has ever broken. I highly recommend these glasses.

QualityReidel a bargain 5
I've been looking for these glasses for several months at stores near home but no one seemed to carry the white wine glasses, only the reds. When I saw them online and at a great price I ordered them, but fully expected that at least one would be broken when they were delivered. I was delighted to be wrong! They arrived in perfect shape and with surprisingly little packaging. These are fantastic glasses and they've even withstood our lively house. Three months and still 8 glasses!

It took us awhile to warm up to this style of glass, but after trying them they're quite nice at the dinner table and our guests like them. They are fragile near the top and you'll want to be careful washing/drying them.
