text: I just received these wine glasses and was disappointed when I opened the box. Given Amazon's usually great value on its "Basics" line, I thought I'd be getting higher quality glasses with a more aesthetic design and thinner glass.... similar to a Riedel glass, but at a much better price point. In reality, these are average quality, consumer-grade wine glasses made with fairly thick glass that most serious wine drinkers do not desire. Given the Cyber Monday price of $15 for four glasses, I won't send them back since they are technically not defective. In terms of relative value, I have found MUCH higher quality glasses at Costco at a better price point -- ones that I am comfortable using on an everyday basis, but not embarrassed to use when pouring excellent wines for friends/family.
