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!
