Riedel Veritas Coupe Glass, Set of 2

Amazing glasses! Riedel beer glass is slightly smaller than my lovely Spiegelau Barrel Aged tulip beer glass. Unique shape, elegant proportions, top quality. Comfy to hold.I enjoy sipping barrel aged stouts and barlewines from this glass. Happy with that gift from myself to myself. Highly recommend!

A very good all around glass for almost any wine, whether red or white, including sparkling wine. Not that this means that some other Riedel Sommeliers glass will not outperform it in side by side comparison. Certainly, dramatically better than the Zalto, in whatever variation that one chooses and at half the Zaltos's cost. Works extremely well for New World Pinot Noir even in side by side comparisons with the Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy glass that is almost 4X the cost per glass. And for New World Pinot Noir outperforms the Sommeliers Burgundy. Hard, if not impossible, to fault the Riedel Veritas New World Pinot Noir Glass. Very elegant, thin rim, light, and relatively speaking large volume capacity for the same wine Sommeliers. Not that anyone should try to use any wine glass to its full volume capacity. Of course, it is "fragile." But that comes with the territory and if one is not comfortable with that, than don't buy this glass. Riedel has certainly refined their manufacturing technique because the Veritas glasses for a given wine actually hold more volume than the Sommeliers for the same wine, except for the Bordeaux and Burgundy glasses. And the rim can't be more than a 0.1mm thicker than the Sommeliers Burgundy glass, if that.

I have always wanted some Riedel wine glasses, so was happy to get these during the recent Prime Days. They are very thin and lightweight and need I say "delicate". But they make drinking pinot even more pleasurable than usual.Recommended.

I gave these as a gift, so no idea how durable they will be. They seemed fine while we used them and I have not heard of breakage, but no information is no information. The stem was sturdier than I expected, but still looked very delicate. Package arrived in good order and the wine tasted fantastic (and yes, we tried the same wine in this and a different style glass).Prost!

The Riesdal box was seriously damaged...ripped, dented, etc. The wine glasses were luckely undamaged.These wine glasses, with the langer stems, are just what I was looking for. Will keep these previously owned wine glasses.

I purchased 12 of these champagne glasses from Amazon. They are beautiful. They come two in a box. I received one box with one glass broken. Amazon replaced the glass without question. I love these Champagne glasses. They add a level of elegance to my parties.

Riedel's Veritas line is a relatively economical line of crystal products for wine connoisseurs (or those aspiring to be).This is a step up over Riedel's Vinum line. These glasses have a noticeably thinner rim than the Vinum glasses. Also the glass bowls are shaped differently than the Vinum line. The Veritas line is geared more towards those who are serious about wine and are concerned about maximizing the expression of the different wine varietals.As for sturdiness, you just shouldn't treat this like regular glassware. With a crystal wine glass, you deliberately pay more for an increasingly delicate glass because a thinner rim is better for tasting the wine.That being said, this product is packaged well (as are all Riedel products), and I have not broken a single one. The secret is not being careless of heavy-handed.

These pinot noir glasses are attractive, very thin glass and light in weight as a result. The shape allows swirling without spilling and delivers aromas beautifully. This is a step up in elegance from any wine glasses we have had in the past and the cost is about as much per stem as I'm comfortable paying. After about 6 months of using a set of 4 of these, we broke one of them and then bought another pair from Amazon, so we now have 5. This was our mistake as someone held the base while trying to clean the bowl - the classic way to break fine glassware by putting a twisting force on the stem. So while these are not overly fragile, breakage is to be expected with very fine stemware. Best advice I have seen is - don't buy any fine glassware if you aren't comfortable with the idea that you're likely to break 1 or 2 glasses per year.
