 Great but not dishwasher safe Aug 09, 2010
I love these glasses. I've been using them since Riedel started making the "O" series. But I want to correct the information provide by Amazon. These glasses are not dishwasher safe. I always hand wash them but a guest snuck them into the dishwasher when I wasn't looking and I forgot to do the "guest precheck" on my dishwasher before running. We lost three of the pinot noir glasses to the dishwasher. So I would say great glasses if you are willing to hand wash.

 Not Worth the Cost - Other Practical Day to Day Wine Glasses Out There May 23, 2010
After breaking innumerable wine glasses with stem, I was thinking that there had to be a better solution. Not finding any wine glasses that I liked, at Crate & Barrel, I just started browsing at Amazon and found these.
Instead of sending me the O Cabernet Merlot, which I ordered, they sent me O Chardonnay glasses - but I really did not want to bother with the hassle of returning them. These glasses are nice, look very good, very thin, stable and easy to clean by hand or in dishwasher. They are big 21 ounce glasses. That is drawback of these stemless wine glasses compared to the wine glasses with stem, which are usually 6-8 oz. Accidentally you could end up drinking more.
But I felt they were way too overpriced. Then I purchased Libbey Vina 16-3/4-Ounce Stemless Red-Wine Glasses, Set of 4 - what a great find! At less than one fourth the cost of these Riedel O Tumblers, The Libbey glasses are well made, very stable, easily cleaned by hand or in dishwasher, and great value for money.
I enjoy drinking wine more from Libbey Vina 16-3/4-Ounce Stemless Red-Wine Glasses, Set of 4 than these expensive Riedel O Tumblers, red or white. And those Libby glasses are great value for money. I would go for those.

 Versitile Glassware Apr 28, 2010
We had 2 of these tumblers, so when Amazon had them on sale it was a perfect time to add another 2. In addition to red wine, these are perfect for cognac or brandy, as the warmth from your hand enhances the nose and improves the experience substantially. Highly recommended.

Nice wine glasses Mar 07, 2010
I bought some of these as a gift when they first came out and have wanted them ever since. Very nice feel, thin crystal rim, goood for swirling. The only problem is they are somewhat hard to hold because they are so big around.

Salute, Cin Cin, Cheers, all that Stuff Mar 03, 2010
Vesta and I have been called pseudo wine nut cases off and on for years. We drink a bottle of Napa Valley Cab every night, sometimes two and sometimes we do a Bordeaux sometimes two and sometimes we do a big Bordeaux. We like our wine. I wouldn't say our teeth are floating in it, but we like it.
And we like clinking our wine glasses and hearing the neeto ping, so when we first came across these glasses in our friendly upscale wine store, we turned our noses toward the sky and pooh poohed them. But then one night -- when we had a couple young ones over while their parents were out listening to a band that fails miserably in passing off bad noise as music -- one of the kids accidently, and I know it was an accident because she said so, knocked over one of our wine glasses, spilling the wine and breaking the glass. Easy to do for a kid and a long stemmed glass.
Her parents, when learning about this, bought us a pair of these beauties. They didn't have to, we didn't beat their child or anything, didn't even raise our voices. Children are children, after all.
Now that we owned a pair of these glasses we'd thought were beneath us, we had to try them. So we did. And jeez, I almost hate to admit it, but we bought a couple more pair, bringing our supply up to a half dozen, because these are the only glasses we use now. They're a lot more kid friendly (we're like the neighborhood babysitters, probably because we really like kids and we don't charge, so the young couples on our block are more than happy to drop their children off at our house).
As for the finger print problem, we don't have that, because we wash our hands before we eat and before we pour. However, I will readily admit we don't get quite that neeto pinging sound when we clink glass, oh well, you can't have everything.
