Riedel Veritas New World Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo & Rosé Champagne Glass

I bought these for my husband for Christmas (I'm not a wine drinker) and he absolutely LOVES them!! He said they take an average wine to a whole new level!! They really make the whole experience of drinking wine much better...taste, smell, touch, sight...everything! If you are on the fence, just buy these!! You won't regret it!

A very good all around glass for almost any wine, whether red or white, including sparkling wine. Not that this means that some other Riedel Sommeliers glass will not outperform it in side by side comparison. Certainly, dramatically better than the Zalto, in whatever variation that one chooses and at half the Zaltos's cost. Works extremely well for New World Pinot Noir even in side by side comparisons with the Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy glass that is almost 4X the cost per glass. And for New World Pinot Noir outperforms the Sommeliers Burgundy. Hard, if not impossible, to fault the Riedel Veritas New World Pinot Noir Glass. Very elegant, thin rim, light, and relatively speaking large volume capacity for the same wine Sommeliers. Not that anyone should try to use any wine glass to its full volume capacity. Of course, it is "fragile." But that comes with the territory and if one is not comfortable with that, than don't buy this glass. Riedel has certainly refined their manufacturing technique because the Veritas glasses for a given wine actually hold more volume than the Sommeliers for the same wine, except for the Bordeaux and Burgundy glasses. And the rim can't be more than a 0.1mm thicker than the Sommeliers Burgundy glass, if that.

These wine glasses are the reason I look forward even more to my one red wine a day in the evening,,,they are just gorgeous and a pleasure to hold in the hand. I hand wash and hand dry them right after each use as they are not meant to be thrown around or use to beat on the counter top. Some say it's a hassle but I say they're worth it.

I love this tulip shape wine glass. The crystal glass is thin and fine. The 28 oz bowl leaves plenty of space for swirling my wine.It’s both pretty and elegant.I purchased four glasses. All arrived in perfect condition. Packaging was awesome!

Let me start by saying I am not a big fan of Reidel wine glasses and I don't think you need a different wine glass for each varietal. That said, I was in the market for some new wine glasses and I did a bunch of research, which led to to try these wine glasses and my wife and I were not disappointed! These are by far the best wine glasses we have ever used! They look great and just feel good in your hand! And they are just the right thickness to give a really good feel when you are drinking from them.

Great Pinot noir glasses. Very light but durable. Knocked my glass over on a glass table and thought it was done for. It was fine. Love these glasses.

Not the cheapest wine glasses, but man they nice really enjoy spinning some nice Cabernet and these glasses

These pinot noir glasses are attractive, very thin glass and light in weight as a result. The shape allows swirling without spilling and delivers aromas beautifully. This is a step up in elegance from any wine glasses we have had in the past and the cost is about as much per stem as I'm comfortable paying. After about 6 months of using a set of 4 of these, we broke one of them and then bought another pair from Amazon, so we now have 5. This was our mistake as someone held the base while trying to clean the bowl - the classic way to break fine glassware by putting a twisting force on the stem. So while these are not overly fragile, breakage is to be expected with very fine stemware. Best advice I have seen is - don't buy any fine glassware if you aren't comfortable with the idea that you're likely to break 1 or 2 glasses per year.
