Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Ouverture Tequila Glasses, Set of 4Customer Review: Great Glasses Summary: 5 Stars
We live in Mexico and therefore drink tequila quite often. Most Mexicans will tell you that the only way to drink tequila is in a "caballito" or shot glass, but these glasses make a big difference, especially when drinking añejos or reposados. They are tall enough that you can get a good whiff without too much interference from the alcohol fumes. The sweet vanilla oak notes of the añejos are especially enhanced by these glasses, but even the grassy, vegetal blancos are more lively than when tasted in a standard shot glass. My wife, whose hands are much smaller than mine, agreed that the glasses are very well balanced and comfortable to hold. A great way to "degustar" a very noble spirit.
Description of Riedel Ouverture Tequila Glasses, Set of 4Product Features 4 narrow glasses shaped especially for tequila Machine-blown of lead-free potash glass Cut-and-polished rims so spirits flow easily onto tongue Each holds 6-3/4 ounces, stands 8-1/4 inches high Made by world renowned wineglass makers Amazon.com Review Shaped for extracting full enjoyment when sipping tequila, the four glasses in this set have narrow bowls on long, slender, stylish stems. Part of the moderately priced Ouverture series offered by world-renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel Crystal (founded in 1756), they're lead-free. That means they're not crystal like Riedel's premium glasses but are machine blown of potash glass and are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedel's exacting standards, so tequila flows easily onto the tongue and flavor is enhanced. Each glass holds 6-3/4 ounces and stands 8-1/4 inches high. --Fred Brack Product Description From Riedel, here's the first Official Tequila Glass, designed to highlight the characteristics of Mexico's national drink. Designated the official glass by the Consejo Regulador del Tequila, it holds the finest Reposados, Anejos and Reservas de Casa Tequilas. Part of Riedel's Ouverture collection, this elegant and slender glass was developed at two workshops led by Georg Riedel and attended by over two dozen Tequila producers and officials who, after rounds of tasting, found this glass to be the best suitable shape. Shaped for extracting full enjoyment when sipping tequila, the four glasses in this set have narrow bowls on long, slender, stylish stems. Part of the moderately priced Ouverture series offered by world-renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel Crystal (founded in 1756), they're lead-free. That means they're not crystal like Riedel's premium glasses but are machine blown of potash glass and are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedel's exacting standards, so tequila flows easily onto the tongue and flavor is enhanced.
