Wonderful glasses that really showcase the wine! Sadly Amazon did not pack the order correctly and they all arrived broken! Which is shocking to say the least.

Instead of the usual ornately cut glass that you expect from Waterford, these are thin, simple, and elegant. The shapes are well chosen, and they feel very like reidels. However, a close examination will discover a mold mark down the center of each stem, and a joint where the base meets the molded stem. For this price, I would expect the construction to be a little better.

These are our ‘everyday’ red wine glasses and we love them. They feel substantial yet elegant.

I love these red wine glasses – they are beautiful and thin yet fairly sturdy for crystal. Bowl is perfect for gathering and wafting the scent of your good red wines up to your nose.

This set was purchased to replace two previously broken stems. The price was about the same as I paid over a dozen years ago. I received the set well packaged and in less than the expected delivery time. After unpacking, I compared the new glass with an old surviving one. The finish on the lip of the glass (new) was different. It was more like a regular glass with a rounded edge. The old glass has a sharp, well defined finish. The ultimate test for crystal, for me, is the sound. The pitch (tone) of the new glasses is decidedly flat and lower that my original set. It appears the new glass is thicker. This will probably help in the longevity category. I will restrict usage of the older, finer crystal for my use and let the visitors enjoy the more robust crystal. I checked other Waterford products in a brick and mortar store and found the same thing. It’s the new craftmanship I’m afraid.
