Love the white wines!
We love these glasses (white wine) & have been buying them for years. The fine restaurant where we usually have New Years Eve dinner uses them on the tables & also sells them in their wine & accessories store, & from time to time has a 20% off sale. Because we're incredibly careless, we break some during the year so it's another part of our New Year's Eve tradition to buy a couple more. IN NO WAY AM I BLAMING REIDEL! Things that have happened include: just tonight I banged the base of one against the edge of the marble countertop - didn't break. We've carelessly loaded the dishwasher, putting a glass where something heavier would crash against i, but finding a broken glass in the dishwasher rarely happen. I've knocked a few off a nightstand onto a hard surface, or when having a glass of wine while soaking in the bath, I've hit a couple onto the tile floor. + We have cats - IYKYK. I'd rather replace the ones we break (reasonably priced) than have glassware so thick & unattractive that it would withstand what we subject it to.

Very nice glass for daily use
This is our daily glass, fits well in our cupboard and not so expensive I worry about breaking them (but I don't let my teenage son wash them, he has a knack....). Crystal at a reasonable price, nice bowl shape, and not so big I over-pour - I love these. I hardly ever get out the larger glasses except for special bottles/occasions. Turns out many of the employees at my local marchand du vin also use these daily. Although I am told these are dishwasher safe I always hand wash. 90% of those I have broken were broken in the washing process - be careful to not stress the stem or try to cram a sponge or cloth into the bowl and you will be fine. For those expecting a larger bowl, can't believe you didn't look at the measurements in the listing and get a ruler out to see what it was. For my part, I am a repeat buyer so I knew what I was getting.

Small for a red wine glass, perfect for me ...
This is my favorite wine glass and I have been using the red wine version for years. This glass is perfect for everyday wine drinking, red or white wines are fine. Ice cubes? Go for it. It's a perfect 'intermediate' size, much closer to a traditional white wine glass than a red. You can pour yourself a nice small half glass, something like 125 ml. This is a small glass but the rim opening is wide and the glass is thin, so drinking is perfect. I really don't need another wine glass. But wine snobs will cringe drinking a good red wine from this glass. I've ordered several sets of two over the years. Why? Although these glasses are fairly hardy for crystal, the bowl will break if you tip the glass over on granite or get a little too aggressive drying them. You can break the stem.

get your "Jazz in the background" playlist ready...
How can I say this... Riedel wine glasses are perfection because they tic each and every box. Hear me out: These glasses are appropriately sized at a little over 7 inches in height, as opposed to 2 feet tall, with a gigantic futuristically shaped bowl that can accomodate the contents of an entire bottle. (Hard pass on those obnoxious things) These have that classic bulby bowl for a satisfying swirl and quality handblown craftsmanship. All that being said, there's no point in any of it if the glass doesn't have a razer thin rim to get that sip right where it needs to go. I'm fully impressed. Don't toss your 4 dollar Target rolled-rim glass though.... just have your disliked houseguest use that one right?
