Editorial Review:Amazon.com Review:Europe's Riedel Crystal is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses. Riedel's Wine series of glasses is among the company's machine-blown lead-free offerings and offers a decorative departure from other simpler styles. These Champagne glasses each have a slender, four-edged stem with three delicate ridges that encircle the base and the top of the stem and catch the light to make a beautiful presentation on a holiday table. The bowl shape follows the philosophy of Riedel's Vinum line of glasses, where each glass is uniquely developed for each type of wine. The glasses in this set of four were specifically shaped to highlight the effervescence of Champagne on the tip of the tongue. Each glass stands 9-3/4 inches high and holds 5-5/8 ounces of wine.

Much bigger than described
These glasses are described as holding 5-5/8 ounces. A serving of champagne is 4 ounces, so I was excited that I would be able to fill my guests' glasses most of the way while still giving them a reasonable portion.
The glasses arrived this morning, and I could tell my looking that they were not 5-5/8 ounces. If you fill one to the brim, it is 8 ounces. I can't imagine how they arrived at the very specific (yet apparently arbitrary) 5.625 number.
My two key criteria were that (1) I was looking for a glass that would hold around 6oz and (2) I wanted it to be tall and slender. So, I can only give this glass 1 star. It is tall and fat, and holds nearly 1.5 times as much as they say it does.
Other than that, it is as described.

Celebrate!
* We have searched often to find Riedel champagne flutes for our son and his wife. We found them on Amazon! Only two sets were available. We ordered. Next day two more were available. We ordered them. The orders arrived before Christmas (earlier than estimated) and they were thrilled---except one flute was broken. ...

The perfect gift!
I gave this as a gift to a dear friend of mine who hosted my baby shower. Let's just say she loved it! Riedel glasses state quality and elegance-they are one of the best glasses for wine and spirits currently made today. Therefore as a wedding gift, birthday, holiday, or just any day this is an ideal item with a touch of class for any person on your list.
