"Versatile, elegant, everyday glasses"
We have Riedel Bordeaux and Chardonnay glasses that we use on special occassions, they are nice but easy to break. The Spiegalau Vino Grande Red Wine Glasses have a great shape, elegant, well balanced in the hand, long stem, durable, and are great for any wine, red or white. Have also tried various other wine glasses over the last several years. I prefer drinking out of these particular glasses more than any other.

"Nice glasses"
Got these dirt cheap when Amazon first started carrying them.

Think I got these and a half dozen of the Spieglau Chard glasses for $25 TOTAL (less than $3 a stem!).

Original intent was to use them for everyday stuff and save the Riedel for special occasions.

That attitude does them a disservice. They are almost as nice as the Riedels, and even at $50 for 6 are half the price. Still a very good deal, even if not the steal I got.

"Spiegelau Red Wines Glasses"
I received red wine glasses without stems instead of as pictured. I returned them for credit and have still not received word of my refund. Since this was not my mistake but a shipping error, I expect a full refund. When I tried to e-mail about it, I received a run around about my address and password. This is very frustrating. I reordered the wine glasses since this was to be a gift and the next set came (with stems) and are beautiful!

"Spiegelau Grande Red Wine vs. Riedel Vinum Bordeaux"
I have owned Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glasses for a decade and love them for their size, shape, clarity, and elegance. However, I have stopped purchasing them. Why? All one needs to do is look at them firmly and they break. My wife and I finally made a rule never to wash them after drinking any amount of wine. Then we escalated to not washing them if we were tired or distracted. Finally, we solved this ongoing problem by purchasing Spiegelau Vino Grande Red Wine Glasses recommended by a friend. At initial evaluation they look virtually identical to the Riedels, but on closer inspection are slightly thicker although an almost perfect match in shape. The feel is similarly elegant. The Reidels have been moved to the back of the cupboard. After breaking 3 or 4 Reidels per year, we have not broken a single similar Spiegelau in 2 years.

I agree with the first reviewer above as far as quality but concur with the second reviewer above that they are slightly thicker and much less fragile than the Riedels. Hopefully Riedel's purchase of Spiegelau will not escalate their price.

"Nice glasses"
Yes these are very nice compared to reidels for the price can't beat it.
more for overall generic wines glasses but if you don't care what "type" of wine glass for your reds or whites these are perfect. If I had the room I would have ordered the red bordeaux as well but I need more a general wine glass. beautiful stemware and proud to own.
