Wine glasses

Spiegelau (Riedel) Lifestyle Red Wine Glass - Set of 4

Spiegelau · £37

Four crystal red wine glasses with large bowls, shown together.

Worth being NRY provisional

Spiegelau is Riedel's second brand, made in the same group with the same glass technology and sold at a third of the price, and the Lifestyle range is their everyday crystal at 630ml. Thirty-seven pounds for four is the cheapest serious glass here. What you give up against the parent brand is the thinness of the rim and the varietal shaping, and in a glass you will knock against a tap, that is not obviously a loss.

For
A first proper set, or the glasses that live at the front of the cupboard.
Not for
Anyone who has already decided the rim is what matters.

What we checked

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
