Customer Reviews of Riedel O Cabernet/Merlot Stemless Tumblers, Set of 4 in Gift Tube
Customer Rating: Summary: Good glasses but one had small chip Comment: Love the packaging, love the glasses. Only problem is that one of the glasses had a very small chip in the rim. Since we took these as a gift to family in Canada, it was not feasible to return them. So, they will live with the chip and hope it doesn't get worse. Customer Rating: Summary: Very fragile Comment: good looking but fragile. tough to hand wash, and inconsistent results using the dishwasher which create chipped edges. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect Wine Glass for Large Hands Comment: The light weight crystal is elegant. They are very nice red wine glasses, marketed for Pinot. We use them for any red wine and really like them. However, we both have large hands. These glasses would be too large to hold in one hand for a petite person or anyone having small hands. We probably would have gotten the next smaller size if we would have realize this. Otherwise,they work well and look chic. Customer Rating: Summary: Great gift for a wine lover. Comment: This will give your wine-loving friend a lot more pleasure than some over-wrought corkscrew. A great deal of your experience of wine comes from the aromas that develop in the air above the surface of the wine. A glass that forces the wine to have a large surface area for its volume and then narrows to concentrate the vapors will increase the flavor experience. Glasses with a thin lip seem to interfere less with the taste of wine than thicker (and cheaper) glasses. The shape of the glass makes a difference, too. Since we can only smell molecules that are in the air, the best wine-tasting glass is going to promote evaporation by exposing the largest possible surface area to the air. These glasses are wide at the waist and narrow at the top to get more from their wine. Does it make a difference? You bet-and in every taste test that I've been part of, Riedel glasses win hands down. (For more information on the factors that effect the taste of wine-Storage, Air, Temperature, Food and Context, see New Short Course in Wine,The) The wine simple tastes better in these glasses. The red wine Ouverture glasses are as close to an all-purpose glass as any and they're very inexpensive. It shouldn't be necessary to mention that a wine glass should be clean and odorless. But sometimes restaurants, in their zeal to make their glassware clean use rinsing aids that leave behind a strong mineral smell. If you're spending a lot of money on a bottle of wine in a restaurant, sniff the empty glass first. At home, a film of grease can settle on a previously clean glass. It's no reflection on the quality of the housekeeping-cooking fats disperse in the air and settle on everything in a kitchen. An additional rinsing and a wipe with a clean towel are all you need. Lynn Hoffman, author of New Short Course in Wine,The and the tasty bang BANG: A Novel Customer Rating: Summary: Fun and Trendy Comment: These fun and trendy stemless glasses are wonderful! I'm just getting into wines and these are lovely glasses. They are for everyday use and are dishwasher safe, so you can't lose! More Reviews Set of 4 Riedel O Cabernet/Merlot Wine GlassesFrom the company who introduced the world to a revolutionary concept in wine glasses, the Vinum Series, comes another great wine revolution: The "O" Wine Tumbler. Enjoy the same great shapes you've come to kno 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 -> Hobs If you enjoy eastern cuisine, you can buy a speciality hob with a wok burner. Similarly if you are a BBQ fan, choose a BBQ grill. If you are left handed, go for front rather than right hand side controls as this eliminates the risk of reaching across the heat. If you cook for a large family, more than four rings may be useful, and if you have young children it may be worth considering paying a little extra for a hob guard or in the case of gas, choosing an automatic re-ignition or cut off device should the flame blow out. Riedel O Cabernet/Merlot Stemless Tumblers, Set of 4 in Gift Tube Useful info -> Food Waste Disposers Installation of a food waste disposer is straightforward, either in a new or existing kitchen but we would advise you look for brands that simply lock into place. Food waste disposers are also extremely durable and a good quality manufacturer will offer warranties of up to five years. |
