Riedel O 8 1/4-Ounce Spirit (Set of 2)
An innovative new design in wine vessels from Maximillian Riedel, an 11th generation member of the famed Riedel crystal wine glass making family. Strikingly different because of the absence of a stem, these wine glasses look more like elegant tumblers. They are shaped to look as good as they feel in your hand, yet maintain all of the functionality of design you would expect from traditional Riedel stemware. These wine glasses are exceptional for casual, everyday use. Dishwasher safe.

Small but WONDERFUL glasses
I've used these glasses for several years for many functions-wine, juice or just a little bit of milk with cookies. They are sort of expensive but SO useful. I can find them in only 1 store in Houston but worth the price.

Good but Small
We registered for these glasses to serve as our whiskey glasses - basically in place of a double-old fashioned glass. While it does say it's 8 1/4 oz, I didn't really successfully visualize what that would look like, so I was quite surprised at how small these glasses are. Like the size of a small juice glass at a diner - almost exactly that size. I suspect we'll be replacing ours with something more substantial in the shorter run.

Maximilian Riedel: Riedel "O". A glass line made by Riedel, introduced in 2004 without a stem. A glass you can stack. Two glasses at the same height as one glass. A glass that can fit into the dishwasher. Dishwasher proof, not a problem. A glass that acts like a Weeble Wobble. If you have kids at home, a glass that bounces back, not to lose a sip of wine. Is it the glass for a dinner party? Yes, it is. But if you want to have a nicely decorated dinner party, then "O" is not there to replace your stemmed glass. "O" truly is the casual way of drinking wine. |
