Inspired by the ripples created by a single raindrop on water, renowned Venetian glass designer Frederico DeMajo crafted a new way for wine enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite vintages. A member of the innovative Esperienze collection, this set of four 21-ounce all-purpose glasses compliments a range of wines with wide, rounded sides and wavy bottom contours that encourage the wine to "breathe," or oxygenate, quickly 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
Product Description
The large bowl of the Esperienze all-purpose glass (shown far left) is designed to enhance a variety of wines. The ripples at the bottom of this stemware allow for rapid oxygenation of wine, which provides a greater aroma and a more pronounced flavor. Made of a special lead-free crystal that is more durable but retains the delicate balance and provides an exquisite wine tasting experience.

As advertised... December 21, 2008
My husband made fun of me for buying these. He's no longer laughing. We both are sold on these! The glasses look great, the wine tastes great, and the price was great! What else can you ask for? Note that these all-purpose glasses are on the large size. Don't know why the one rater below would complain about the lightness. It's made of blown crystal! It's supposed to be light!
Outstanding August 24, 2008
These are the finest wine glasses I have ever owned. The price and quality are far superior to the others I've shopped for, couldn't be happier with the purchase.
try it, you'll like it May 4, 2008
We read about these glasses and had to try them. They truly bring out a red wine...and how can you beat the price? We have had blind wine tastings to compare these glasses with other red wine glasses and everyone agreed...they are terrific. We have converted many of our wine maven friends.
 Split Vote! April 18, 2008
Admittedly I don't know much about wine or wine glasses other than what i've used in nice restaurants. This set looks exactly like the picture and that is great. The only problem I see with them is their weight. I'm not sure if wine glasses are suppose to be this light but i've never held glasses with such little weight. Seriously the box weighs more than the glasses do. This is a problem for me because they seem so ridiculously light that I actually had to check if they were made of plastic. Anyways thats why I gave 3 stars (as a undecided gesture).
Question: what symbol on the foot? August 29, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My wife and I experienced these glasses in Italy, and were blown away. We're insufferable Riedel snobs, and were so impressed with these that we need to get some!br /br /One strange question to anyone out there who bought these: what logo is on the foot of the glass? The glasses we used in Italy had a cursive Z (for Zafferano - the maker of the glasses), but I'm curious if those distributed by Bormioli have something different? Can anyone out there chime in (and give a review, too).br /br /Thanks!
