Customer Reviews of Marquis by Waterford Vintage Deep Red Wine Glasses, Set of 4
Customer Rating:   Summary: Near Previous Quality Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Great glasses Comment: These are our 'everyday' red wine glasses and we love them. They feel substantial yet elegant. Customer Rating: Summary: Marquis Waterford Horrible Shipping Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful yet sturdy Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Value Comment: I bought four of the Deep Red Wine Glasses approximately 4 years ago and contrary to what the previous reviewer says I have not noticed any special susceptibility to chipping. Mine are in fine shape - though I have NEVER washed them in the dishwasher (always hand washed). These are not hand blown glasses as more expensive stemware is, but they have a very nice shaped and a relatively thin bowl. The crystal maintains a nice "ring" to it and has a pleasant feel. For the money, these are excellent glasses. I'll be buying another set as I accidentally knocked one glass of my current set off my kitchen counter. If you're drinking a variety of wine out of the same plain glass (i.e., not crystal) wine glass, I can not stress (though I was dubious at first) what a difference it makes to 1) drink out of crystal, and 2)to match the wine your drinking to the bowl and shape of the stemware. Though not high-end or as specialized as Reidel or Spieglau (or Waterford, for that matter), these glasses are VERY serviceable, indeed. More Reviews In 1991 Waterford introduced Marquis, the first new brand in the 200-year history of the company. Its mission is to offer clean, elegant designs that suit the modern lifestyle. Simple enough for everyday dinner use, it's also the perfect complement to fine china and silver for the most special occasions. Each style is available as a set of four. Shown left to right: white wine, light red wine, champagne flute, deep red wine. 
Choosing Appliance -> Ovens Most avid bakers prefer separate, even-heat double electric ovens. If that describes you - and you have the space - be sure one of the ovens is equipped with a broiler that provides at least 3,000 watts of cooking power. Also look for racks that pull all the way out and lock in place for safe, easy access to the oven. On the inside, a dark interior shows less baked-on grime, while a porcelain interior is easier to clean Choosing Appliance -> Stainless steel bowls These are the best all purpose bowls for a multitude of applications. Choose a wide range of sizes (be sure to get a large bowl for whipping egg whites and whipped cream). In general, the heavier the bowl, the higher quality.
