Forget those overpriced Riedl glasses out there. Use what I use: Spiegelau. Just as good as Riedl but less expensive, plus they don't break every time you look at them. These are the deal! Buy six or more of any of the glasses below and get another buck off the per-glass price!


  Vino Price
Spiegelau Bordeaux (22 oz.) $11.95

This fabulous glass with voluminous tulip-shaped bowl accentuates the character of a fine wine. Its bouquet is given a youthful accent as it flows in concentrated form to the nose. Thus the somewhat higher alcohol content typical of world -class wines is not overly accentuated. The viscosity of the wine provides a fascinating veil on the sides of the glass- a reflection of the wealth of natural elements contained in a fine wine. Ideal for Premier Grand Cru wines from the Bordeaux region as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.

  Vino Price
Spiegelau Burgundy (25 oz.) $11.95

A magnificent glass designed for world-class wines; one that reflects the premium quality of a wine. The wide bowl maximizes the contact surface between the wine and the air so that the fruity aroma virtually explodes. evaporating alcohol carries the fragrance of the wine to the nose and tongue. The wide opening of the glass helps distribute the wine's fullness and complexity across the palate. Perfect for top quality French Grand Cru burgundies, vintage Barolos, and the finest Pinot Noir.

  Vino Price
Spiegelau Chianti $10.95

A classic long-stemmed red wine goblet of medium size, this glass was designed for a variety of red wines from different kinds of grapes and different vintages. Young red wines need plenty of air to bring out their aroma. Older wines requiring less air unfold their bouquet more quickly. Ideal for more fruity wines with less tannin nuances, for example Chianti Classico, Zinfandel, Navarra, Dornfelder, Blauer Zweigelt. Also an excellent glass for a mature Chianti Classico Riserva or Bordeaux Superieur.

  Vino Price
Spiegelau Chardonnay $10.95

To fully enjoy the bouquet of fruit flavors: apples, peaches, plums, vanilla and acacia blossoms, white wine drinkers prefer a specially shaped glass. The white wine bowl is smaller than a red wine glass and extremely thin so that the lips can sense the coolness of the wine. We think it's perfect for chardonnay, pinot gris, pinot blanc, white bordeaux, vouvray, pouilly fuisse or aligote. We'd especially recommend it for sipping Cameroni's Vino Pinko (it makes the guerrilla in you look so much more sophisticated).

  Vino Price
Spiegelau Champagne $10.95

Tall Champagne glass designed for elegant sparkling wines characterized by their multifaceted texture and ripened brilliance. The slightly corpulent bowl helps unfold and accumulate the wine aromas while the tapered shape of the glass transports them in concentrated form to the nose. This glass also provides plenty of surface space for the effervescent pearling effect - or "perlage" in French. Ideal for vintage Champagnes and prestigious Cuvees as well as elegant sparkling wines of the world.

  Vino Price
Spiegelau Martini $10.95

Classic martini glass with wide bowl with enough room for embellishments. This glass is unique in that it is weighted more in the stem due to the thin walls of the bowl. This provides a wonderful, stable feeling in the hand. You have to see them to believe them!Ideal for Martinis, champagne cocktails, Prosecco and tropical drinks. We particularly like our Cooperstown martinis in these.
