 Did not get what we ordered.Jan 06, 2012

Our family rates Amazon 5/5 except for this one order. We ordered 8 sets of Riedel Vitis Champagne Glass, Set of 2 per box. These were sent from a secondary supplier, Sold by: Westview Traders Inc. When we opened the box, only 1 set was the Vitis line (retails for about $80 for 2) and the other 7 sets were of the Discount mall line Riedel (retails for about 2 for $35). I could not reach the Westview Traders after being referred to them by Amazon help line. Westview operates without a phone it appears. I know that Amazon was not at fault--but Amazon is responsible for the quality of their secondary suppliers. One must be wary anymore when you order Riedel glasses since they now come in at least 4 levels (SOMMELIER, Vitis, Vinum, Cuvee, and Kmart). Watch out for substitutions! Even when ordering from a quality outfit like Amazon

The Vitus champagne glasses are so lovely to drink out of; vertical tasting with other glasses (including the vinum champagne flutes) show how fantastically these improve the flavour and overall drinking experience when drinking sparkling wines.

The Vitis series is the most modern looking of Riedel's varietal-specific, shaped wine glasses. Depending on your taste, this can be good or bad. They are certainly elegant and stylish, but they are also huge. If you're only used to "normal" store-bought (or wedding-gifted) glasses, these will likely surprise you coming out of the box. These champagne flutes have a somewhat unusual shape and are generally wider than what most people are used to. Once you get used to them, those other glasses will seem insignificant. Looks aside, the big question is: do they affect the taste? For the most part with the Vitis series, you can tell some difference compared to normal glasses, depending on how much of a wine connoisseur you are. With these flutes, the shape still makes for a nice concentration of bubbles, but I notice less effect with these than the others. Even if you can't taste the difference, you still can impress your friends with the great looks.
My biggest problem with the Vitis glasses is that they are made with very thin crystal. The champagne flutes seem to be the sturdiest of the lot, so I've not had the breakage problem cleaning these as I've had with the rest of the series. They are actually relatively easy to hand wash. FYI, Riedel is contradictory in its washing instructions. In some places they say hand-wash only, in others they say they are dishwasher safe. Even if you want to try to put them in the dishwasher, you won't fit more than a few of them in the top rack because they're so long.
