Title: Barely Acceptable for Beginners, I Suppose
Review: I had these Spiegelau stems purchased for me as "back-up" glasses for very informal social gatherings. For wine gatherings as well as everyday dining at home we use Riedel Sommelier, an acceptable stem. These "Vino Vino" glasses are rather thick and poorly balanced and do not bring out the true qualities of the wine. They do not direct the correct flavors to the precise areas of the tongue. Breakage is not an issue as the responsibility for cleaning and sanitizing goes to our housekeepers. If they break a glass, they pay for it.I suppose these are acceptable for under $200 wines for beginners, but for us they simply will not do, as we do not touch any bottle of wine under $1000.
Is the review positive or negative?
