Inspired by the ripples produced by a single raindrop on water, renowned Venetian glass designer Frederico DeMajo discovered a new way for wine enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite vintages. A member of the innovative Esperienze collection, this set of four 16-1/4-ounce Sauvignon Blanc/Riesling glasses specializes in the lighter-bodied white wines with high, angled sides to direct the liquid's flow and wavy bottom contours that encourage the wine to quickly oxygenate for the best bouquet and flavor. Poised on an elongated round stem and generous base, the result is a graceful and refined silhouette appropriate for both daily and formal dining. Esperienze stemware is blown from pure lead-free crystal for traditional quality, flawless clarity, and reassuring weight. This handsome set goes safely into the dishwasher between uses. It is made in Italy and comes packaged in an attractive gift box. i--Kara Karll/i

awesome! September 9, 2008
i had always thought there was a glass for red and a glass for white until one night, I was at a friend's house tasting a sauvignon blanc ( several other wines) in a general tasting glass. Once I said the sauvignon blanc was my favorite, she pulled out one of these glasses - and I was floored by how much better the wine tasted! I started to shop around for my own glasses and found that you can't beat the price for these Italian (lead-free) crystal glasses.
Incomparable! March 30, 2008

It's the little groove that does the trick by immediately releasing the aroma, bouquet -- the essence of the wine -- which results in a deeper enjoyment of even a mid-priced wine. Highly recommended
Well worth the wait! January 7, 2007

I didn't like having to wait two months for the delivery but what a bargain I got in return. Beautiful and perfect in form and function. While labeled for white wines it is a perfect "all arounder" for use with reds too-not too big or small. It is completely dishwasher proof (not a smudge or discoloration even after some "HEAVY" pots and pans cycles). It is hard to believe these are hand blown from Italy and yet cost so little. Unlike some far more expensive glasses from the vaunted Riedel brand,there are no mold lines to be seen or felt anywhere on the glass. An incredible bargain. Snatch some up before the dollar to euro ratio forces a price increase. If it makes you feel better, you can tell your friends you spent a LOT more. They'll believe you without hesitation!
