Great looking glasses

by Papashango from on 2010-08-02
I drink my scotch out of these glasses. Very nice to hold, cleans very well in the dishwasher, and they look very classy.

Beautiful glass, but will not last the longest

by Romeo from on 2010-06-14
These are beautiful glasses, but in the end, aren't really the best value. Because the design is more of a square with rounded corners, the glass itself doesn't end up being strong and over the course of a few or several years, they will break one by one, even when you're simply washing them in the sink. I had bought a set of 8 in 2005 and I have only 1 left. What did I replace these with? The Luigi Bormioli Lucia. The Lucia glasses are completely circular and will likely not break unless dropped on the floor. Just a better design.

Very Nice, just what I was looking for!

by R. Cook from on 2010-05-25
Received my glasses the other day. I was pleased to see that perhaps Amazon has fixed the packing problem that others have mentioned. Mine came packed box within a box. In addition, the box of the glasses was wrapped in bubble wrap. All four arrived safe and sound. Lovely glasses, rounded square shape, beautiful addition to our house.

Don't buy these!

by Jerry Zornes from Phoenix, AZ United States on 2010-03-01
While the glasses are nice the packaging was so substandard the two usable glasses end up costing you twice what you think you're paying. Or your other option is to return them and start the process over again. Either way it adds up to a time consuming and expensive process. There was no visible damage to shipping packaging yet they were packed so poorly that two of them were broken. I was hesitant to purchase glassware online for just this reason and only did it because it was Amazon.

What's to say?

by Parkit from Mississippi on 2010-02-10
Not much other than these are nice, heavy glasses without a lot of embellishment. We like them, they arrived in good shape even though I SAW the UPS driver DROP the box they were packed in from waist height and KICK the box through the partially opened garage door. If they can withstand UPS, I'm not worried about breaking them in the dishwasher.

Not just for Scotch

by Wayne Fogel from The Villages, FL on 2010-06-14
These glasses are wonderful for tasting and Scotch - that given, they are equally good for sipping any other whiskey or for that matter any other spirit that is good enough to be drunk 'neat'. This applies to cognac, armagnac, aged rums, top end tequila such as Cabo Wabo and any number of spirits. With these glasses you will be able to easily distinguish not only the good from the bad, but to taste the individual flavors that make the difference Evan Williams single barrel and Wild Turkey single barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbons.

Pleasant Surprise

by Gioco Carta from Italy on 2010-05-11
I was very doubtful when I bought these glasses but after trying them I am convinced they make a difference in taste and probably more so than, say, different shaped wine glasses. I found familiar scotches revealing unknown flavors and aromas.

Single malt hit

by Richard D. Strahan from Cleveland, MS on 2010-01-27
I wasn't sure I believed my restaurant-owner/sommelier/friend when he recommended these, but they do make a difference in how you experience single malt scotches--especially the higher end products.

Wonderful Enhancement

by Arizona from Tucson, AZ USA on 2009-10-30
On a recent stay at the Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale, I took part in a single malt scotch tasting sponsored by their Food and Beverage Department. The beverage director used glasses of this shape and size, and talked about how the shape of the glass can enhance the single malt experience. I was initially skeptical, but as soon as the tasting began I was convinced, and started looking to purchase a few for myself as soon as I returned home. I only rarely drink single malt scotch (too expensive) but I've found my enjoyment of those rare moments increased by 100% as a result of these glasses. They are pricey, but a wonderful way to help you enjoy your favorite single malt scotch, and I recommend them highly. Plus Amazon's prices were the best I could find when I purchased them.

Well worth the money

by David Kaplan from Chico, CA USA on 2009-07-22
These glasses bring out the complexity of your favorite Scotch. I can highly recommend these to any scotch drinker out there.

Beautiful!

by Lindsay Nicole Christians from Madison, WI on 2010-01-17
I've had a set of four of these glasses for the past 5 years and I've replaced only one of them. They're gorgeous, feel pleasingly heavy in the hand and make wine drinking a pleasure. They make a weeknight glass of wine absolutely decadent.

Love it!

by Madison from New York, NY on 2008-12-12
We have been using these glasses for over 2 years, and I have not had a problem with any of them breaking, yet. I am very careful when I use them, but it has also survived our move cross-country. I don't wash my glasses with soap all the time, unless it was used by a guest or I ate greasy food along with my wine.

Nice glass, but dangerous!

by A. Schafer from USA on 2008-03-18
Nice glass - great shape for a wonderful wine tasting experience BUT this glass is extremely fragile and should be considered a bit dangerous. We bought 4 and I took them out of the box to begin using them. I now have 11 stitches in my hand from washing the first glass when the stem broke with very little pressure. I've washed wine glasses for years and never this result. While I was at the ER my wife went to wash the rest of ours. She knew they were fragile since I just broke one and while gingerly washing the very next one, the globe collapsed in her hand cutting her in 3 places (no stitches). We're not tough people! What if it broke while a guest was drinking? I just think this product is too fragile to be practical.

Makes wine even more delightful

by Sage Mehew from Denver, CO on 2008-02-11
These glasses are just right for enjoying a pinot noir, shiraz or even a merlot. The curves of the goblet allow you to really swirl your wine to release the 'bouquet'. Hand washing is a bit of a pain, but the experience of drinking a good red wine from this glass is well worth it.

Beautiful wine glasses

by iq from Lexington, KY, United States on 2009-05-27
These glasses are a good size and a nice weight. They do not feel as if they will break in your hand, and yet are elegant and classy. I would recommend them to anyone looking for stemware to match their china!
