Product Description
These exclusive wine glasses are hand-blown in Turkey of high clarity lead-free crystalline. These affordably priced, super-sized wine glasses are the size favored by wine connoisseurs because their high surface evaporation rate fully releases a red wine's bouquet. Each glass has a tasting lip - an outward curve which enhances the appreciation of wine by directing it to the front palate. These glasses are ideal for medium to full-bodied reds. Each glass is etched on the bottom with the Rabbit symbol of quality assurance. The glasses are dishwasher safe. 33 oz. 10.6 inches h. x 4.17 inches w (widest part)
Amazon.com Review
Medium- to full-bodied red wines need a wide surface area to fully release their bouquet, hence this monumental wine-specific glass from Metrokane. Ideally designed for Bordeaux, Cabernet, and Merlot, the 33-ounce glass provides the appropriate bowl girth and curvature that wine connoisseurs expect. Furthermore, the flared tasting lip directs the wine to the front palate, enhancing the total sensory experience. The set consists of 4 glasses. p Metrokane, maker of the renowned Rabbit corkscrew, etches the base of each glass with a tiny Rabbit icon as a symbol of quality. Hand-blown of remarkably clear lead-free crystal, the glasses are dishwasher-safe, yet the stunning size, 10-3/4 by 4 inches, may preclude them from fitting in most dishwashers. Metrokane also produces crystal specifically designed for medium- to full-bodied reds, sparkling wines, and dry white wines. I--Ann Bieri/I

 Great giant glasses May 4, 2008
While other reviewers complained and did not like the size of these wine glasses, I think this product is well worth the money. The size of these glasses is very large, but that is the point. Large glasses are perfect for special wines so you can smell the wine and let it breathe in a large bowl. These glasses are approximately the same size as their reidel equivalent, and I'm very happy with the quality and shine of the crystal for half the price of reidel's. Thus, I don't mind if these break, but the crystal seems to be strong and the manufacturer advertises that these glasses can be put in the dishwashing machine although I tend to rinse with hot water only. Metrokane glasses are well worth the money if you're looking for large bowls and an oversized big glass for your good juice.
Great Product Beware Short Shipping January 7, 2008
These wine glasses are fantastic. They are large and in charge!br /However, they are shipped in sets of two. I ordered a total of eight, and received two shipments of two. I called Amazon and they reshipped - another set of two. As I was two short, I called again; they refused to reorder, saying I would have ten if they did so. I pointed out I was likely to get two again, not four, and was very firm, and they reshipped. I got two again to complete the eight.br /br /They are worth the trouble, but be prepared.
 Did not recieve number of items promised. August 6, 2007
I hate to give a bad review but...I ordered these glasses for my grandmother. When she received them there were only two. I emailed the buyer to let them know of the mix up and never heard back.
HUGE honkin' ugly glasses September 15, 2006

We bought some white wine glasses a while back and the Metrokane Rabbits were truly beautiful. We use them 10:1 over our Reidels. After my wife broke ANOTHER Reidel burgundy glass, I ordered these. They are HUUUUGE. I'm very serious when I say that an entire bottle of wine would easily fit into one of these glasses (with room to spare!) There is nothing attractive about THESE monsters and storage is a big issue (literally.) They would make a fine fish bowl!
 Rabbit is no Reidel February 25, 2006

I saw an ad for Rabbit comparing it to Reidel. It is no Reidel.br /Heavier than I expected, and larger than I expected.
