Tested: Riedel Wine vs. Polishing Bundle… Surprising Pair! We were skeptical when we first unboxed the Riedel Vinum Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot (Bordeaux) Glass (2-Pack) with Large Microfiber Polishing Cloth Bundle (2 Items), but we were delighted by the quality. The glasses themselves are thin yet sturdy, with the iconic Riedel design enhancing aroma and taste. The double-valenced rim, however, was a highlight for us. Cleaning them was effortless using the included microfiber cloths—they wiped away fingerprints and wine spots without a trace. The bundles felt complete with the extra cloth, ensuring we wouldn’t run out anytime soon. Overall, the pairing of Riedel’s precision and the practical polish was winners for us. For wine enthusiasts seeking both elegance and ease, this bundle is a delightful surprise.
Libbey Signature Kentfield Brandy Glasses vs Tasting Set... tested for seasonality We recently tested the Libbey Signature Kentfield Brandy Glasses, 16-ounce set of four, against seasonal preferences. The thick, shapely bowls beautifully showcased both winter brandy and summer cocktails—ours were perfectly proportioned for mulled wine and lemon drops respectively. The stemless design felt elegant yet sturdy (a minor concern for some), and the clarity of the glass enhanced every aroma. Our setup felt instantaneously sophisticated, whether warming hands around a flask or catching the condensation from ice. While the set’s versatility is unmatched, we wished for smaller sizes for delicate spirits. Ultimately, these glasses strike a refined balance between form and function, making them a worthy addition to any collection, especially now.
