How does the quality of Riedel's new lead-free crystal compare to its 24% lead crystal glass?
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.

A Special Glass for a Special Lady
My best friend was having a Martini Party to celebrate her birthday. As a glass collector, I was looking for something special. I found this to be the perfect gift. The packaging, shipping and tracking were excellent. The gift wrap was beautiful. Most of all, the glass was outstanding!

Specs Have Changed
Very disappointed. Ordered as a replacement. Manufacturer specs must have changed. Spec comparison( old vs new): height the same, rim width: 4.125 vs 3.875, capacity oz.: 7.5 vs 5.5.
I realize these are hand blown glasses which can cause slight variation. This difference is not variation.

Riedel Martini Glasses
I have used Reidel sommelier glasses for more than 25 years. I enjoy handling these fine pieces of art while drinking my favorite libations. Wouldn’t think to use anything else.
These martini glasses add to the enjoyment of tasting a fine, dry martini.
