Product Description
Wine Series Champagne Flutes by Riedel. Riedel's new Wine collection was created for customers who feel that plain stemware on a well laid table is just not decorative enough. The Wine series combines a light catching decorative stem and Vinum's most popular bowls. These functional, wine specific machine blown glasses are perfect for either special occasions or everyday use. The Wine stemware is executed from lead free crystal. Recommended for: champagne.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Europe's Riedel Crystal is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses. Riedel's Wine series of glasses is among the company's machine-blown lead-free offerings and offers a decorative departure from other simpler styles. These Champagne glasses each have a slender, four-edged stem with three delicate ridges that encircle the base and the top of the stem and catch the light to make a beautiful presentation on a holiday table. The bowl shape follows the philosophy of Riedel's Vinum line of glasses, where each glass is uniquely developed for each type of wine. The glasses in this set of four were specifically shaped to highlight the effervescence of Champagne on the tip of the tongue. Each glass stands 9-3/4 inches high and holds 5-5/8 ounces of wine. --Cristina Vaamonde

Reidel Champagne5
Beautiful glasses poor packaged received first set b roken second set is beautiful
Rather...Plain3
I got these because they matched the rest of the Riedel Wine series glasses that I own, but am not overly expressed with the look. In my mind, Champagne glasses should be elegant, light glasses which serve to lift the experience of drinking the wine. These are very large, straight glasses which do not excite me in any way. As another reviewer noted, these are big, about as tall as my red wine glasses, which have a huge bowl, yet the bowl on these is straight and uninspired. It looks like they took a stem, created a curve on the bottom of the bowl, then just left the rest of the bowl unfinished. A gradual curve narrowing towards the rim would have given the glass some shape and elegance, something these desperately need. This is one where Riedel glassmaking does not live up to its name in my opinion.
Amazon shipping sucks5
The product that I purchased was fine, except that the packing that Amazon did was extremely poor....Very little padding for glassware. As a result, 1 champagne flute was broken.
More care in shipping is necessary. I'll think twice before buying glassware from Amazon.....books....no problem.
