blankmind, the glasses arrived quickly. I bought the white wine glasses and the large Bordeaux glasses. They look quite nice, very simple. The Bordeaux glasses are very large - I know they’re supposed to be large - and it was a little startling. We don’t drink huge quantities of wine so I guess you just fill a small portion of them. In retrospect, I probably should have gotten the red wine glasses instead - they’re somewhat smaller. The Bordeaux glasses feel kind of light to me, but the white wine glasses feel more substantial. I have been impressed with how sturdy they are. I managed to drop a box of 6 when unpacking them, and I was sure some would be broken, but they survived. I’ve put them through the dishwasher, knocked them against each other and against the stainless steel sink (I am really clumsy, I guess) and they have not broken or chipped. I am very happy with them, especially for less than $5/glass!
