Vivendi Set of 4 Bordeaux Glasses, 25.8oz

These glasses are great and their value is tremendous. I break lots of wine glasses. I like really large wine glasses. SOLUTION: Buy cheap wine glasses that are very large.As frequent readers of my reviews know, I like to refer to myself (and Eli Manning) as a "size of the boat" type of guy. The bigger, the better. #Fact. Nachtmann really delivers. I have successfully tested pouring an entire bottle of wine in the glass. It works! Not very easy to drink, but it fits! WITH ROOM TO SPARE. You could park a Chevy Tahoe in these glasses. Since I drink a bottle at a time, this is a very nice feature. If you are trying to throw your drink at someone, you want more liquid in your glass for maximum damage. Yes, I'm from New Jersey. Point?Now, let me drop a little knowledge on you. The Riedel version of these glasses cost like $20-25/each. They are made by the same people, probably in the same factory. Thus you are getting, at a cost of under $8/glass, incredible value. You really can't go wrong with these bad boys. You are welcome.I may seem uncultured, but I drink more wine than you do (unless you are a spitter, and no one likes a spitter, except for Tiago). I endorse these glasses and that should really be enough for you to know they are quality. I haven't even broken one yet!They even have that curved lip feature that I think makes them more classy. I'm sure there is a point to that, like letting wine breathe better, but I don't really care. I'm classy as hell. Everyone knows this.One note, I see other reviewers have complained about poor packaging. I had no issue with this. I don't think that really matters when reviewing the product as Amazon has a VERY liberal return policy. Quit yo whining.

Very well made and classy

Pinot noir really does taste better in the right glass. These are very nice. I hand wash because they don't fit in the dish washer but that's easy as my hand fits in to wash and dry. I like them.

Love these glasses so much I had to order more as a gift for a friend and the seller did a great job packing them for shipping!

These glasses are identical in shape and size to the Riedel Vivant Bordeaux stems sold at a popular big box store. The significant difference is that the Riedel-branded stems are of lead-free "Tyrol crystal" and these Nachtmann-branded glasses are actual 24% lead crystal, (as labeled on the box and on the back of the stickers attached to each glass). One star removed because this is not made clear in the item description and really should be - some people are particular to avoid leaded crystal on health concerns.A brief aside should mention that the amount of lead absorbed into a glass of wine, consumed at a standard single sitting, from a leaded crystal stem is well less than the trace amount of lead you typically eat during a day from your everyday foods. I have no reservations using these every day. (What you need to avoid is storing high-proof liquors in lead crystal decanters for extended periods of time; this will create a severely toxic concoction.)Riedel owns the Nachtmann brand and manufactures these glasses. They are on par quality-wise with the Vivant collection pieces. You can catch your fingernail on the parting lines on the stems, but just barely; it's faint. Overall they are very pleasurable to use and are offered at a price-point reflecting tremendous value. Compared to Schott Zwiesel, for example, these have clearly tighter manufacturing tolerances and higher quality control standards. They're simply beautiful to look at, and to listen to when clinked.

These are very large and beautiful wine glasses, the rim of the glass is very thin which makes it look so delicate to hold. Very comparable to my previous Reidel glasses. Will purchase these again!

Can't do better for your money. These Nachtmanns are made by the same company as Riedels at a fraction of the price. This is such an excellent glass for full bodied reds, you 100% will not be disappointed. All big reds just taste better in these glasses!1. Perfect, beautiful shape that will enhance the taste of your wine.2. Nice clink and clarity3. Cut and rolled lip (as in high-end wine glasses)4. Tremendous value (Riedels for a fraction of the price)5. Lead - the difference between these and the Riedels is that these are made of 24% lead. Note there is an infinitesimal trace that will leach into your wine during drinking... far less than you'd consume in a million other ways (eating food, for example). I am a self-labeled "health freak" and do not have an issue drinking out of these.

I bought my first set of these Vivendi Bordeaux stemwares at a wine tasting back in the late 90’s. After much use I still have three from that set. I bought another set a few years ago and noticed the stems are now slightly thicker. This is not a bad thing,l. The older set, even though more sophisticated, are very delicate. The newer version of these are an excellent glass and will impress even the most educated wine connoisseur. As I write this review I’m about to order another set. I prefer the larger diameter of these over Riedel. Highly recommended!

Nice thin glass, good balance and the size of the glass is really nice to get the wine to breath

Beautiful delicate wine glasses

Parfait j achete ces verres depuis longtemps ils sont d une qualité irréprochable

Glasses are good quality but they arrived broken. Unfortunately so far I didn't have any feedback from the seller

These are awesome. They are affordable, huge goblets that are just fun to use. One thing -- they are really tough to fit in a dishwasher because of their size :D
