RiedelVinum Martini

Why? Because the design, proportions, quality of the glass etc. is exactly correct. At least, they are the most aesthetically pleasing martini glass I've seen. I'm not a fan of glasses with etched designs on them, or thick stems etc. These are delicate and simple. Exactly correct for what they need to be IMHO. I have six in constant rotation with a couple of backups in case one chips, which they do on rare occasions, but that's not the fault of the glasses, in fact they hold up remarkably well. I've had them for many years and they do get lots of use but still look as good as the day I bought them. Plus I've given them as gifts - it's nice to give something to someone that you think is "the best"!

Anyone remember when a martini was a martini? Or when a martini glass wasn’t a fish bowl? This perfect set will take you back to those golden days of the perfect, real, well chilled, straight up martini. The crystal is indeed good crystal, so my only warning is to be careful as these can chip because they are fine. But I’ve bought two sets already, highly recommended as the right size to keep a drink both elegant and well chilled. And right sized to enjoy more than one should the moment meet that joy. Highly recommended.

These glasses harken back to a day when cocktails weren't served in a bucket. These are legit 2oz pour glasses, classy and elegant, but much smaller than current xl cocktail glasses. If you need more, mix another and enjoy the presentation. Highly recommended.

These martini glasses are great. I have been looking for a quality set for awhile. My only complaint is that they are definitely smaller than the normal martini glass you get at the bar. I always have extra drink left in my shaker and I put that in another cup to refill when I am empty.

I really like how they’re smaller glasses so it’s more that classic feel but they do seem like they’re going to break when I wash it because it seems so fragile. But they are quality and I’ll keep a 5 unless it breaks from washing it in less than a year

I had a hard time giving these 5 stars on value, but then I thought about it for a minute. Yes, these glasses are expensive, but I would not have purchased them if I didn't think they would be worth it. They are extremely well made. They are also the perfect size. In this age of huge martini glasses, it's nice to finally find one that fits the classic recipes. 3 oz of booze, stirred on ice 52 times, then strained into the glass with 2 olives leaves exactly 1/8" of headspace. Every time. Exactly as it should be.

These Martini glasses are spectacular! Worth the money. Ignorant morons that purchase 10-12oz ( seriously??) cheap Martini glasses, please walk away. A classic Martini, enjoyed my a true connoisseur would hold 4 oz with just a “ touch” of space remaining at the top of the glass. These glasses at 4 5/8 oz capacity are absolutely perfect. The correct shape, thin stem and absolutely perfect crystal will certainly impress your guests. I would highly recommend.

First, the bad reviews are from people who didn't read the clearly stated dimensions prior to purchase.These are great old fashioned small martini glasses for the customer who understands that a martini is made with gin and vermouth (or just gin). No love for vodka drinkers? Sure you can use vodka! But that's a vodka martini my friend.It's just really nice to have a glass that wasn't made to fit an extra 4oz of sour apple or raspberry mixer in with the drink.Also of note, these will be a much higher quality than your standard mall brand martini glasses, and the rim will be a bit thinner.Overall I am completely happy with the purchase.
