Simple reliable and durable
When I first started drinking wine a decade ago I thought it'd be kind of cool to buy a bunch of different wine glasses. You know the drill: smallish ones for white wines bigger ones for reds humongous ones for Bordeaux insanely large fishbowl-esque ones for Burgundy and so on and so forth. Although it's nice to whip out the big fancy ones for a special occasion I find myself returning to the Riedel Overture Magnum glasses again and again and again. Why? For one they're big enough to allow for some mighty swirling without splashing wine all over yourself (which is embarrassing). They're also durable enough to stand up to (ahem) drunken handling during boisterous dinner parties and/or hungover washing up the morning after. They've survived the dishwasher a couple of dozen times and still look good; they seem to do just fine with any kind of wine (except for dessert wines - if you start pouring half bottles into these things you run out too quickly). In short these are the glasses you'll wind up using nearly every time you drink wine. Don't worry about those ridiculous "Nebbiolo only" or whatever glasses that cost the earth and are more fragile than Kanye West's ego - just grab a set of these and get down to drinking. You won't regret it.More detail ...
