Amazon.com Review
Combining a minimalist approach with skillful design, Alfredo Haberli's Essence stemware is both sophisticated and remarkably versatile. The modern-meets-traditional shapes feature distinct angular bowls and flat bases in sizes that can be suited to accommodate many beverage choices. This set of two 15-ounce red wine glasses stands 9 inches tall-the same height as the other stemmed glasses in the collection-with a long, elegant silhouette that looks equally at home in a formal or casual setting. From serving Pinot Noir to Beaujolais, the glasses are sure to be busy entertainers in the household. They are dishwasher-safe and made in Finland. Introduced in 2001, the Essence design has won several prestigious European design awards. --Kara Karll

Extraordinary Design
Incredible, modern style with classic functionality. Sits well in your hand. Crystal glass. One of the best collections by Alfredo Haberli & iittala.

iittala wine glasses
I love the design but I was worried that the thin guage of the glass would be too fragile. We've had our first two for two years now and we haven't broken one yet!

Great wine glass
We got the iittala essence red wine glasses as a gift. Not only do they look awesome and feel good but they make the wine taste great too. Shortly after we got them we did a taste test comparing these glasses against our "cheap" glasses. Every wine we tasted was noticably better in this glass. We liked them so much we bought more so we'd have plenty when we have friends over.
