Cabernet Red Wine Glass

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.

These wine glasses are my FAVORITE!! I use them for both red & white (don't judge, but they are a good size & shape for either IMO). I first saw them at a nice restaurant and fell in love. I found them at a premium retailer online and paid WAY more than on Amazon. Thankfully when I needed a 2nd set I found them here much more reasonably priced. I believe they are dishwasher safe, but I hand wash mine hoping they last longer. The make a beautiful addition to a dinner table. They are also a go-to wedding or bridal shower gift for me because everyone loves them.

Happy with the glasses. One thing we were looking for in glasses was a thin glass and these passed the test! The bowl of the glass is nice and large and the stems are long and delicate. The packaging kept them safe in transit.

These are beautiful stemmed red wine glasses. They are quite fun to hold and use for nice evenings when you’re trying to impress your guests. They are durable, not too heavy, nor too light. Sit firmly on the surface and fit my style of entertainment.

These are beautiful. Such a musical quality to them. They were packaged very well and then I chose the including Amazon packaging as well and did not have an issue.

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.

Very nice glasses- the best for the money that I’ve found. This set was noticeably thicker than the set I’d bought three years prior. They’re still great for the money but the thinner lip was a bit more elegant and felt higher end. Some may actually prefer the thicker though.

We had originally purchased a couple of handblown Gabrielglas wine glasses after reading great reviews of them. At about $38 a piece, they are "affordable" for hand-blown wine glasses. But we just didn't love the slightly bulbous bottom-heavy profile, and we use our wine glasses too frequently (!) to want to have to worry about each one that bites the dust. We returned them in favor of these big burgundy Zwiessel glasses, which we intend to use for both red and white. They are stunning! Modern in profile, with a fine lip and a "crystal-clear" shine. What's more, like all good wine glasses, they noticeably concentrate the aroma in the bowl and are a delight to drink from. (Note, for those that must have hand-blown glass, there is a "seam" on the foot of the glass if you really want to look hard for it, though it is not apparent to the touch.) We just bought 12 more to round out our collection to 16. At about $12 per glass, they're a steal!

Conozco esta marca desde hace mucho tiempo. Me encanta su cristalería fina. No pesan nada y muy agradable a la hora de tomar sea una copa de vino o un vaso de agua… Pero esta vez me he equivocado. El cristal es más grueso, además el tamaño no es lo que esperaba encontrar.

Superbe qualité

Sehr schöne Gläser

Exactly what I was expecting. Very happy with them.

Mejora la experiencia al beber vino ( el cristal al ser poroso, contribuye a airear el vino en copa). No tan espectaculares como las Gabriel Glass en su función de despertar aromas; pero excelente compra pues 6 de estas cuestan lo que una Gabriel Glass gold.
