Amazon.com: Founded in 1756, Austria’s Riedel Crystal is the world’s premier manufacturer of wine glasses and has always catered to the fine wine connoisseur. However, these wine tumblers are the company’s first attempt at producing a lower priced wine glass for casual entertaining. Like Riedel’s prestigious Vinum series of glasses, these tumblers are specifically designed for a particular grape varietal and still maintain their ability to enhance the flavors and aromas of the wines they were intended for. The only difference is that the tumblers are missing their stems, making them slightly less delicate to handle, more modern in appearance, and easier to fit in smaller cabinets, mini bars, picnic baskets, and the dishwasher.
The O series of glasses are made of machine-made of non-leaded glass. The shape of the two glasses in this set is specifically recommended to balance the fruit and acidity in full-bodied white wines, such as Chardonnay and Viognier. Each glass holds 11-1/4 ounces of wine, stands 3-7/8 inches tall, and is completely dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde

Rating: - O Wine Glasses
We have used these glasses for the last few years and love them.
we had to buy more, so we ordered a few more sets.
Rating: - IT'S PERFECT
My experience with Riedel Glass and all their (different strokes for different folks) to be nothing short of perfect.. They always provide an excellent product, ALWAYS... The only problem I see is that once you purchase a glass or twin set, you will be buying more. Excellent quality -EXCELLENT.
Rating: - But not really for white wine. . .
The five star rating reflects an appreciation for this as a spirits glass. When used for white wine, your hand warms the wine too quickly and if you're standing up at a tasting, you end up balancing the glass on the tips of your fingers. However, it is just the right size for a shot of spirits and the body warmth effect is a benefit.
A great deal of your experience of spirits comes from the aromas that develop in the air above the surface of the wine. A glass that forces the liquor to have a large surface area for its volume and then narrows to concentrate the vapors will increase ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect!
For daily use these are absolutely the best wine glasses. They give you Riedel quality in a useful design. No more worrying about the instability of stemware and believe it or not, they go in the dishwasher. After about 2 years of constant use I think I've broken two glasses. I find that the first group I bought now are somewhat cloudy but considering the amount of use they have received I don't find that to be an issue.
Rating: - Interesting change of pace
These glasses have the expected Reidel quality, with just a little extra pizzaz. They are great to use, because they are a little more stable than stems, and they look just enough different to make them an interesting change of pace from your regular wine glasses.
