What makes Riedel stemware unique
Riedel recently began the process of converting all of its glassware from lead to lead-free glass crystal, and eventually all of Riedel's glassware will be lead-free. We compared lead vs the lead-free (Sommelier Bordeaux Grand Cru glasses side by side, and found it difficult to distinguish between the glasses. It seemed like the lead-free glasses had thinner stems and rims, while the 24% lead glasses seemed slightly heaver in the hand. There was no discernable difference in the balance, clarity or construction of the glasses.

Beautiful but a little small
My first reaction to these was that they are a bit on the small side. They offer the high quality you expect from Riedel, but unless you want these specifically for Rieseling or Sauvignon Blanc I would choose a slightly larger stemless.
My pick is the buy 6 get 8 Viognier/Chardonnay also sold by IWA.

Gives wine a great taste
These glasses really give my sauvignon blanc a great taste. I've never believed that wine could taste better or worse depending on the type of glass you drink out of. This glass is wonderful. I strongly recommend researching which glass is designed for your favorite wine and doing some taste testing of your own to see how much difference the right glass makes. Five stars for this.
