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.

Wines Score 2 to 3 Point Higher in Riedel Grand Cru Glasses
by W -
These large Bordeaux glasses do make a difference in how a top end or average Bordeaux wine will taste. I had part of a bottle of a top Bordeaux wine at dinner at some friends house in regular sized glasses for which I gave it a 93 score. I took about a third of the bottle back home. There I drank it out of one of these Riedel Grand Gru glasses and gave it a 96 score.
reasonable pricing
by mitchell berger -
I broke one of my wife's favorite wineglasses, and of course it one of the more expensive ones. She told me to order a replacement from IWA so I ordered the Value Pack. The price very reasonable, so not only was I able to get the replacement, but I it came with a spare in case of any future "accidents"

Excellent wine glasses
by Sue B
These wine glasses are the best by far. We’ve been sampling wine for years and enjoy learning and experiencing different wines . Riedel crystal wine glasses are our preferred glass and we wouldn’t have it any other way .
