Amazon.com Review
Bavarian glassmaker Riedel has established itself as an industry leader in the manufacture of fine crystal stems for the discriminating wine lover. With several lines of wineglasses at several price points, Riedel brings its overriding philosophy--that the tongue is divided into zones, and that by directing specific wines to specific lingual zones by means of alterations to the size and shape of the glass, added sensory dimension can be mined from the wine--to the marketplace. The Gourmet glass is an all-purpose, come-one-come-all, all-wines-welcome vessel manufactured--as all Vinum are--in non-leaded crystal. There are some 19 models in the Vinum series alone, each designed to showcase something different: fruit, acid, Bordeaux, Burgundy. With its short stem and capacious tapering bowl, no. 416/21 serves as an affordable, utilitarian, easy-care entrée--a sort of "baby's first Riedel" welcoming to any wine, be it red, white, or rosé. --Tony Mason

 Riedel Vinum Gourmet Glasses April 5, 2008

These glasses are very hard to find. So I looked on google and saw that Amazon had them. No only did they have them they were at a great price. So I bought some and when they can in , I saw they were exactly what I was looking for so I ordered 12 more glasses.
Excellent Wine Glasses! April 1, 2008
These are the glasses that M.Chapoutier uses in their tasting room for their exquisite wines in France. I have been searching for this glass since I broke the glass I brought back. If they are good enough for Chapoutier's Châteauneuf du Pape, they are good enough for me!
Love these glasses December 28, 2007

I can't say enough good things about these glasses. The shape is ideal for red wine and/or any other beverage. The short stems make them ideal for the dishwasher and less susceptible to be knocked over by those who move their hands when they talk. My first set was purchased over 10 years ago. Because I used them "everyday" (the name is appropriate), it took over 10 years to break them all. Actually, I think a 6.7 earthquake finished off the last three(out of six). I have spent one year experimenting with other glassware, but nothing is a substitute for Riedel's Everyday Glass. If you want to feel elegant everytime you have a beverage, buy these. NOTE: The Everyday Glass (13 oz) is slightly larger than the Water Glass.
Excellent every day wine glasses November 16, 2007
These are excellent every day wine glasses. We lived in Europe for a long time and formed the habit of having wine with dinner every evening. We have a fairly full collection of the other Vinum glasses, and a few of the Sommelier series for really good bottles. These are excellent for every day, when you don't want the hassle of hand-cleaning crystal. We put them in the dishwasher and they work fine. The stem is short, but we do not find it awkward. We have gone through several sets over the years, since glasses do break in daily use, and always try to have a dozen on hand for parties.
Riedel Vinum Gourmet Glasses July 12, 2007
These glasses are great! We use them for water glasses along with our other Riedel stemware. We also use them as wine glasses when we are out on the deck or just in daily wine consumption. Because of the short stem we're less likely to knock them over accidentally during casual dining. They also fit nicely in the dishwasher which beats hand washing any day. The price was very reasonable: a lot less than buying them from a retail wine shop or winery. Many Washington wine shops and several wineries use them for their wine tastings. They are very versatile.
