Amazon.com Review
Riedel continues to impress the wine world with its innovative designs. The Tyrol line, released in 2007, adopts an intermediary position between the completely stemless O wine tumblers that set a national trend and Riedel's long-stemmed, more fragile beauties. Each Tyrol glass features a short stem, more of a foot really, that is half of a solid sphere, lending great stability and reducing breakage worries. Crafted in Bavaria of sparkling leaded crystal yet dishwasher-safe, Tyrol is perfect for a casual, more contemporary approach to fine dining at home. p This set includes two Tyrol Cabernet glasses, the second largest in volume of the entire collection (only the Shiraz glass is larger). Each Cabernet glass holds a maximum capacity of 24-1/8 ounces and stands 6-1/8 inches tall. While designed to bring out the best attributes of full-bodied red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the glasses also work excellently for beer and soft drinks. Out of a long 250-year history, the renowned Riedel glass company has been based in the Austrian state of Tyrol for 50 years now, hence the commemorative name of the new collection. I--Ann Bieri/I

 Excellent - Highly Recommended August 11, 2008
I was looking for some "everyday" dishwasher safe wine glasses and these are the best. They don't streak, fit easily into the dishwasher and allow big reds to breathe. I still pull out my fancy ones for special occasions but don't like having to hand wash them. These are great, stylish and I highly recommend them. Ordering more as I'd dropped two of them. I'm a clutz!
great, but late January 8, 2008
I would have given it a 5 star rating if it had arrived on the estimated date of new years eve. Instead it arrived 2 days later. It was one hour away from my house on the 29th.
 Wanted to compare to Riedel "O" December 27, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've been a fan of the Riedel "O" glass for a number of years and wanted to try this new addition to the "little or no stem" glass. These have more stability than the "O" but are a bit clunky. My jury is still out. First impression is that I'd stick with Riedel "O" glass. Benefit might be that these are less fragile.
