Product Description
As Featured in O, The Oprah Magazine April, 2007 - "the O list" Quality meets casual. The Riedel Stemless O Wine Glasses are the newest revolution in glassware. Casual yet elegant, these wine glasses are appropriate for fine wine enjoyment, as well as casual sipping. The wine tumblers were shaped to fit into a dishwasher and fine-tuned to enhance the pleasure of your favorite wine varietals. In keeping with the Riedel glassware tradition, these wine glasses have become the benchmark for stemless glassware. Made in Germany of lead-free crystal. Gift boxed in sets of 2. Size: 4-1/2"H, 3-1/4" Dia., 23-7/8 oz. Riedel Model # 414/7

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 part of 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 for full-bodied red wines, such as Pinot or Nebbiolo. Each glass holds 23-7/8 ounces of wine, stands 4-1/2 inches tall, and is completely dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde

This is a rather large glass, a bit clumsy to hold without the stem and in a comparison tasting, it seemed to me that the smaller cabernet/Ouverture sized bowls evoked a richer aroma from pinot noir and nebbiolo.

A great deal of your experience of wine comes from the aromas that develop in the air above the surface of the wine. A glass that forces the wine to have a large surface area for its volume and then narrows to concentrate the vapors will increase the flavor experience. Glasses with a thin lip seem to interfere less with the taste of wine than thicker (and cheaper) glasses. The shape of the glass makes a difference, too. Since we can only smell molecules that are in the air, the best wine-tasting glass is going to promote evaporation by exposing the largest possible surface area to the air. These glasses are wide at the waist and narrow at the top to get more from their wine. Does it make a difference? You bet-and in every taste test that I've been part of, Riedel glasses win hands down.
For more information on the factors that effect the taste of wine-Storage, Air, Temperature, Food and Context, see New Short Course in Wine,The The wine simply tastes better in these glasses. The red wine Ouverture glasses are as close to an all-purpose glass as any and they're very inexpensive.
It shouldn't be necessary to mention that a wine glass should be clean and odorless. But sometimes restaurants, in their zeal to make their glassware clean use rinsing aids that leave behind a strong mineral smell. If you're spending a lot of money on a bottle of wine in a restaurant, sniff the empty glass first. At home, a film of grease can settle on a previously clean glass. It's no reflection on the quality of the housekeeping-cooking fats disperse in the air and settle on everything in a kitchen. An additional rinsing and a wipe with a clean towel are all you need.

Awkward to handle November 29, 2007

Not for people with small/medium hands. Difficult to hold while washing. Bowl not as easy to grab as a stem. Price is good for Reidel, but what's it matter if you don't use them?

our new favorite wine glasses September 9, 2007
I love these glasses. They do not tip over and the are large enough for the wine to breathe. I am only worried as they are so light and thin that they might break so I hand wash them. They are both my husband's and my favorite wine glasses and at that price I can afford to replace them!

Beautiful glasses..... but too big August 7, 2007

I love these glasses. I own nearly all of the various Vinum stems, and they are fabulous. I love the 'O' glasses too - great looking and functional. But I have small hands, and these Pinot glasses are just a little too big, and I've found myself nearly dropping them on a few occasions. They are back in the box, waiting for guests with bigger paws than mine!! In the meanime, for Cabs, Shiraz, Zins, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, etc I often use the 'O's.
