Though the glass didn't perform terribly with any of the wines, its appearance and feel significantly detracted from its appeal. Testers disliked the balance (or lack thereof) of this glass, and noted its heaviness and clunky feel in the hand. Paksh Novelty Italian White Wine Glasses: In addition to the Paksh red wine glass, we also tested the Paksh Novelty Italian White Wine Glasses.The highest compliment this glass received from a sommelier was that it seemed "totally fine." Not exactly a rave review. Paksh Novelty Italian Red Wine Glasses: Users noted that the Paksh Novelty Italian Red Wine Glasses felt heavy and clunky, with thick stems.While its narrow shape did relatively well with bubbles, it underperformed in every other way, stifling the aroma of both red and white wines. Decoratively etched crystal is definitely out of vogue, making this old-fashioned glass come across as "just like how Grandma drank," as one tester put it. Mikasa Agena Crystal Wine Glasses: The Mikasa Agena Crystal Wine Glasses scored lower than any other-even below the AmazonBasics glasses-because of their appearance.The sommeliers described this glass as a small decanter, and explained that, while the large bowl is ideal for red wine, and even does decently with bubbles, it struggles to deliver the flavor and aroma of white. Riedel makes wine glasses where the shape is adapted to the aroma of individual varieties, ensuring the perfect wine indulgence. While some acknowledged that it could be a good glass for red wines, it rated very low for white wine. Spiegelau Vino Grande Burgundy Glasses: Testers were put off by the very large bowl on the Spiegelau Vino Grande Burgundy Glasses.Another tester compared its shape and build to that of a flowy, nondescript muumuu-only much less pretty. As one of our sommeliers put it: "Life is too short for this glass." It performed very poorly in nearly every category. AmazonBasics All-Purpose Wine Glasses: Though we disagree on many things as an office, we all agreed that the AmazonBasics All-Purpose Wine Glasses were bad, at best.If you’re in search of an all-purpose glass and drink dramatically more red than white wine, this is a good glass for you. It didn’t score as well as our winners, but testers liked the shape of this glass and noted that the tapered opening contained and controlled aromas in a pleasant way. To be fair, we poured white wine into the Andrea Wine One Wine Red Wine Glass, which was specifically designed for red wine, and it stood up decently to the test. Machine made in Germany from fine Bavarian crystal, this set offers eight wine glasses: four red and four white. Riedel VINUM Wine Glasses Pay 6 Get 8 Mixed White Varietal Set 4 Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier/Chardonnay 14900 (18.63/Count) Total price: These items are shipped from and sold by different sellers. Andrea Wine One Wine Red Wine Glass: Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson makes two (sort-of) all-purpose wine glasses, one for red and one for white wine.

We take it as a great compliment that he contributed his time and expertise to allow our wines to show their best qualities, and therefore use this glass exclusively for our Pinot Noir at the winery. This led Georg to change the name of the wine glass from Oregon Pinot Glass to Vinum XL, to not show any favoritism to Oregon. Other wine-producing regions immediately began requesting that Georg develop a glass specific to their region. The debut of the glass took place at Willamette Valley Vineyards, featuring a glassware seminar led by Georg. Our Founder Jim Bernau was among the winemakers invited, and they worked together with Georg to create an elegant tulip shape that featured a wide bowl, perfect for exposing the wine to oxygen to allow it to open, along with a narrow rim to focus and preserve the aroma esters to the nose. Georg Riedel, the 10th-generation Owner of Riedel (a glass manufacturer established in 1756), invited select Oregon winemakers to be involved in the design of a new glass that would best highlight the delicate aromas and flavors of Oregon Pinot Noir. Glasses include an elegant frosted Willamette Valley Vineyards logo on the foot of each glass as well as a small 5-ounce pour mark on the bowl. This set may be shipped on its own or with 1 or 2 bottles of wine. Enjoy two Riedel Vinum XL "Oregon Pinot Noir" wine glasses in this package - perfect for our classic Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs. Although there are a few very high-end wine glasses available (100+ per stem), Riedel is considered the gold standard for production wine glasses.
