I just received a catalog that listed Riedel "O" glassware, and the
glasses were somewhat of a shock to me. They have no stems! They are
6 types, about the size and shape of Vinums, except the bottom of the
glass is flat with no stem - in other words a tumbler. The price is
fairly low, and they are made from non-lead crystal. Upon reading
about them, it turns out that they are made in Germany by Maximilian
Riedel, a grandson of Claus Riedel. I do not like this design much
for red wine and know I do not want a white wine glass without a stem
for chilled wines. At least they did not include a champagne glass in
this design, at least in the catalog.


I've seen these glasses in catalogs for a couple of months myself. I
don't know if it's directly related but I recall seeing a TV show
about Robert Parker in which they made a point of showing the stemless
glasses he uses for tasting. The Riedel "O" series looks like a very
similar style.



I picked these up in Spain about 10 years ago while at the running of the
bulls. Easier to handle and less spilling when I drink too much.LOL
