Amazon.com Review
In 1989, world-renowned wineglass manufacturer Riedel introduced the Ouverture glass line as a quality, affordable series for enjoying good wine and other beverages. Less expensive that Riedel's crystal, Ouverture makes a good match for the beginning wine connoisseur or the wine lover who needs an everyday set. Machine-made in Austria from premium non-leaded glass, the stemware features thin rims that are cut and polished for ideal flow and direction. Ouverture styling is attractive and well balanced, with designs for 10 different categories of wine and spirits.

This set of four Ouverture beer glasses is a handsome way to serve and drink your favorite ales, ambers, and stouts. They are also excellent for ice water. Crafted with short stems and pedestal bases, the glasses are both graceful and substantial, adding an element of elegance to beer without overdoing it. Safe in the dishwasher, each glass stands 6-3/4 inches high and holds 17-5/8 ounces at full capacity. --Emily Bedard

Customer Reviews

good water glasses
I bought these to go with my Riedel Vinum wine glasses because the Vinum water glass is just too small to be useful. These are just right for a water glass, nice big bowl and a short stem. They have the same cut edge as the Vinum glasses, and you really wouldn't know that they're not crystal by looking at these and the Vinum side-by-side. Note: the box they come in isn't very strong, and the glasses can break in shipping. Amazon replaced my broken glasses with no questions.

A discount on beverages
Over the years I have had several sets of wine and water glasses. I've treasured the Waterford due to the craftsmanship and cost. But the Riedel glasses add an elegance to the table by virtue of their shape. The thinner lip and specific shape adds to the enjoyment of each type of wine, even beer and water. The only drawback is that the thin glass is more prone to breakage. Gently hand wash these. 5 stars for more formal times; 4 for every day use.

Water Glass
This is a good product. Dishwasher safe. Only thing I would change would be to make the glass just a little bit smaller and shorter. As it is, it probably would not fit in all dishwashers.
