Lovely!
Beautiful glasses. I found these after reading a bon appetit recommendation in their wine section of the Bev edition. I coincidentally just broke #3 of 4 of my beautiful CB2 red wine glasses. I think I’m in need of a more durable glass lol. I love how there’s 6 in a set, plenty for your everyday or for hosting. The size is modest but versatile for red or for white.They feel hearty without feeling or looking like the wine glass they have at that wood fired pizza place down the street. They feel elegant and they’re enjoyable to drink out of and to hold. I hand washed them to start just in case they all were to break at once — I’d be devastated!I love the angle in their design, makes them feel modern and consider. Very cool that such a durable choice has this design detail.I did find on the official website for the brand they have detailed instructions on what settings need to be used on the washer from placement to temperature. A little annoying that wasn’t on the box or in the Amazon description. Give it a look before you hit go. Otherwise incredibly happy with this purchase. None of mine arrived broken. They were in a box that was wrapped in bubble wrap and then in another box and they did great. Shipped directly from the brand.

My most exciting wine discovery in the wine world in twenty years...
I realize that sounds a bit over-the-top, but these are the best wine glasses I've tried and I've owned a lot of high-end wine glasses over the years. I also realize that any knucklehead can write a review, whether or not they have any idea what they are talking about. I consider this the most exciting discovery I've made in the wine world because it makes every glass of wine I drink a better experience. No this isn't my first foray into a correctly-shaped, decently-made wine glass. We drink wine most nights of the week and, although don't go out of our way to buy the most expensive wine we can find, we typically drink higher end stuff.I *much* prefer these to Riedels, Riedel Extreme, Ravenscroft Amplifier, etc, and it isn't just because they are durable. While these have a very slightly thicker feel to them than the Riedel Extremes and Ravenscroft Amplifiers, the clencher for me is the rim of the glass. What??? Yep! I love the shape of these, but they are cut very similarly to the Extremes and Amplifiers, all giving a very detailed accounting of the wine held within. But what sets them apart (other than being considerable less expensive and more durable) is the way they feel against my mouth. Yes, I hear myself. That makes no sense. So don't try them and never know what I'm referring to... Or... Try them and see for yourself what truly differentiates these glasses from everything else out there.The Burgundy Glasses I bought are large (not the largest) and have a great shape. They swirl the wine wonderfully and give a great nose, but every great Burgundy glass does that. However, the rim of the glass has a softness to it that SIGNIFICANTLY adds to the experience of drinking the wine. These glasses have a rounder, softer lip to them that just makes everything better. The way they contact your lips feels completely different than other glasses. There is a manufacturer's video that explains the process a bit, but I never believe the marketing fluff. This is real and (here comes the cliche) a game-changer for wine glasses. I'm anxious to try some other designs (sizes) from Schott Zwiesel, but in the meantime, we are drinking EVERYTHING (any kind of red and any kind of white) from these Burgundy glasses. All our other glasses have stayed in the cabinet since these came home. 'nuff said!

Like Them Better Than Riedels
I started off with the cabernet glasses and was so happy with them I ended up getting the champagne, sauvignon blanc, whiskey and martini glasses as well. In my advanced age of 37, I have developed this silly idea my glassware should match for some reason. Sigh, this can't portend well. Anyway, I am liable to gush about these things if I don't watch myself. So in the interest of keeping my decorum around friends and family while using these glasses, I thought I would get a few things off my chest here.So from what I have read, technically only leaded crystal can be defined as crystal, everything else is just glass with various compounds (like lead in the case with crystal) added to it to change its characteristics. Adding lead to glass makes it softer which allows it to be cut more easily. It also makes it clearer and adds heft to the glass. Blown crystal glassware also tends to have a thinner section at the mouth of the glass compared to that of standard soda glass. Once you develop an appreciation for the characteristics of crystal, it is hard to go back to just plain glassware.But this Tritan stuff is not "crystal". My understanding, which could be wrong, is that instead of lead it uses titanium as the compound of choice to modify the glass. This gives the glassware the basic characteristics of leaded crystal, but makes it a bit more durable and a bit less heavy. Riedels, which are leaded crystal and quite nice I might add, unfortunately have a tendency to break on you if you look at them crosswise. With these Tritan glasses, you don't have to worry so much about them breaking on you, which allows you to use them as everyday glassware as well as a special occasion glassware. I like that. Life is too short to use inferior glassware.What I like most about this glassware though, is its form and balance. The glassware is just pleasant to hold and drink from. However, there are a few quibbles I have that I feel I must divulge:The glass is machine blown/made. As a result, one can feel a small seam on the stems of some of the glassware. It isn't a big seam, like one would have on a normal glass, but it is there. However, it isn't a big enough issue that I would not wholeheartedly recommend this glassware to others. Plus, there is always a few glasses out of the box that will have their seams minor and smooth enough that it isn't an issue at all.The champagne glasses seem to be a slight bit thicker and more clunky than the other glasses. Some of the champagne glasses were not perfectly symmetric either, and would have a very slight wobble when rotated. All the other glasses with stems are symmetric to my naked eye, so I don't know why the champagne glasses would be different. Maybe I just got a bad batch. Still not a big enough deal that I wouldn't recommend them.The martini glasses are a bit on the large size. More in the size category of a margarita glass, not small like a champagne coup. This is a bit bigger than I would prefer for cocktail glasses. My standard martini recipe which consists of 1 oz. of vermouth to 2 oz. of gin, when properly stirred, still only goes up to the bend in the glass. On the other hand, for my pisco sour recipe, the glass allows room for up to an half inch of foam. All in all, it comes out a wash, but if you like your cocktail glasses on the small side, it might be best to look elsewhere.As for the whiskey, cabernet and sauvignon glasses, they are great, no issues. The whiskey glasses have the basic proportions of a small brandy snifter with a bit wider mouth, which works well enough for those occasions for when you just want to drink whiskey and not nose the hell out of it.All in all, I can most enthusiastically recommend these glasses to others who want to consolidate their glassware to one theme of grace and beauty.

Perfect for the price
Great glasses for the price. Stems and bases are pretty thick but the bowl, where it matters, is delicate and a great size and shape for any wine.

Beautiful and classy
I purchased these for myself and boyfriend to drink our red wine. We love them. Very classy looking. I do find them pricey though and seen similar ones for less.

Great all around wine glasses
Bought these for use on a live-aboard boat. They look great and are impact resistant. Size is nice as not too tall for cabinets. The bowl of the glass is large enough for the wine to breathe. The crystal is fine enough to make the glass light in the hand and the thin edge has a good mouth-feel.

Nice thin rim and super durable
These wine glasses are the nicest I’ve ever owned. I love the rim and the shape. My dogs tail sent one flying on our tiled patio and it didn’t break. Amazing quality. They feel way more expensive than what I paid for them. So happy with them I bought more.
