Premium Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Glass Diva Stemware - 6-Piece Claret/Bordeaux Red Wine Goblet Set (26 oz Each) - Elegant for Dinner Parties, Wine Tasting & Holiday Entertaining

We have purchased three sets of these glasses (18 total) in the last 5 years off of Amazon.com. We enjoy red wine and white wine regularly. These are beautiful large glasses, but that is where the compliments will end. We have never dropped or knocked over one of these glasses, but 6 have broken in the dishwasher. I have never had another wine glass break in the dishwasher, and we have several cheaper versions that we use for parties, etc. We did have one stem break off when drying, but that was probably my user error for applying too much torque inadvertently. Three others have broken when hand washing due to very light touches to the sink walls or bottom while rinsing. Again, I cannot ever remember breaking any other glass of any type during hand washing. We now have 8 of 18 glasses remaining, and again, we have never dropped one or knocked one over on a counter. I do not believe the science of these glasses. They are beautiful, but they will not last, and at $15+ per glass, you are better off buying cheaper. Cheepo glasses will last longer and save you much aggravation.We ordered these for our last New Year's Eve party and I could not be happier. I am one of those people who get sweaty hands just thinking of delicate glass products such as expensive wine and champagne glasses - I remember using the Rosenthal wine glasses we received for our wedding for the first time and pretty much immediately breaking one because it slightly hit the side of the sink while I rinsed it.Introduce the Schott Zwiesel Tritan - THE solution for klutzes like me! Accidentally hit the glass on the sink - the glass remains intact, put it in the dishwasher - it comes out unharmed. Wow. You can even bang two glasses together 'relatively' hard (think guests that have had one or two too many and cannot judge their strength that well anymore :-)) and nothing happens! Wow.As to the style, I really like the simple, no frills shape of the Diva collection as I am not one for etchings or crystal cuts, etc. These go with any style and that makes them even more useful. A great buy and really not too expensive if taking the reduced breakability into account. With other glasses, chances are I would have to replace them much more often so I am very satisfied with this purchase and wholeheartedly recommend this product.Pretty glasses and they seem durable enough! I’d rate them higher but if they were bigger - maybe I misunderstood the size they’d be but the red wine glasses are huge and gorgeous and these are shorter and quite small for the cup size. I know different types of wine require different size glasses but these just don’t go with the beautiful red wine ones.I purchased these glasses in Germany while vacationing and have had a hard time finding replacments and finally I found these on Amazon.com for a very good price! At other well known retailers, I've priced them for $79 and up for one glass! These are the same brand but from a new collection so they are about 1/2 mm shorter than mine (not noticeable). There are a few inconsistencies with the seams on the stems (my original ones from Germany do not have any noticable seams on the stems). I can live with the minor imperfections for this price as these glasses are fabulous for drinking and tasting red wines. They are durable and have been in the dishwasher although I typically wash them by hand. I don't test their resiliency on purpose but have dropped them onthe counter and in the sink. The one that I sought to replace didn't win out over the ceramic floor sadly to say. Good news, on amazon.com I replaced the one glass and got five extra for the price of 1 glass at Nordstroms!This set of glasses came very quickly.Clearly marked fragile with bubble wrap in the box along with them. They were all perfect no chips or scratches. They are a little bigger tan I imagined they would be but i love them. They have a nice weight to them and are of a high quality. Best of all I really think the technology used in making these glasses surely made a difference in the flavor of the wine. My friend and I did a side by side comparison with one of my old glasses that was similar in shape. We bold noticed a difference not only in the aroma of the wine but the mouth feel and flavor as well. The wine had a richer more full bodied flavor in these glasses!!! I swear! Try is for yourself. These are great glasses. They do also feel very sturdy, like they will hold up well.While I love the appearance and style of thin dainty wine glasses, they just aren't practical.I wanted to find a medium between durable and stylish.I searched everywhere for something that would fit the bill.Here they are. Strong enough to withstand dishwasher washing (which I don't).Durable enough that I don't get anxiety when my body building, super gripping brother asks for a glass of wine over a holiday meal.And the best part, affordable enough that should I need to replace one, I won't miss a house payment.If you are a person who have your glass of wine, finish dinner and WASH right away all your wine glasses and don't leave it next to sink, then this review may not be of any use for you.Most days I wash the glass - occasionally there are days I rinse the glass with water and leave it for thorough cleaning next day. Only twice or thrice I left the glass without rinsing with water till next day. Oh well .... the glasses are stained so bad that even after multiple thorough cleaning, the stain wouldn't go. If it was cheap wine glass from discount store, I would have trashed them and bought new sets. Having paid so much for schott Z - hard to throw them or not so easy to replace them either. BTW, this has never happened to my other set of "R" glasses - they never have this problem of staining.Its not that I would not recommend these glasses, but, if you do get it, make sure you clean or at least rinse it and never let even a drop of red wine in the glass for more than few hours. :-)Ursprünglich hatte ich ein Set aus vier großen Rotweingläsern von Schott Zwiesel günstig auf einem Flohmarkt ergattert. Nachdem ich nun über die Jahre drei Stück davon aus der Hand gerutscht sind beim Spülen, musste zumindest einer als Ersatz her. Ich habe mich leicht dabei vergriffen, da wir die etwas kleinere Variante eigentlich hatten.Der Preis mag zwar stolz sein, aber ich muss sagen, die Qualität und die Optik wird dem absolut gerecht. Makellose Verarbeitungsqualität, eine super Verpackung (bei Weingläsern wird man mit postalischem Versand ja durchaus etwas skeptisch) und eine tolle Optik. Aber das Gefallen ist natürlich reine Geschmacksfrage.Marca que dispensa elogios, já estabelecida no mercado e de excelente qualidadeVelocissimi e come da foto, consigliato. I bicchieri sono perfetti come calici da vino bianco. Eleganti e utili, perfetti per cene chicWir haben die komplette Diva Glasserie und sind damit sehr zufrieden. Die Gläser sind schlicht und edel in der Gestaltung und passen optimal zu einer festlichen Tafel.Tolle Gläser sehr schönes Design sind Spülmaschinen geignet was mir sehr wichtig ist.Edle Tolle Roweingläser die bei uns sehr beliebt sind.
