content: Out of all the Riedel glasses I have purchased or used, these are my least favorite. Unless you have extremely large hands, it is hard to get a secure grip on the Pinot tumblers, much less with hands greasy from a nice dish of chicken wings. I really don't see any advantage to these tumblers over traditional stemmed glasses. They are just as delicate and difficult to wash, and you will have to wash fingerprints off the tumblers (chicken wings or not), and they aren't really all that easier to store in the cabinet. If you want to reduce the risk of breaking a stem, I'd recommend purchasing one of the thicker-stemmed Riedel offerings before going for the tumblers.
