They are even cheap enough that I won't really mind putting them in the dishwasher.

They are for investment bankers (think rhyming slang). I've never seen the versions of these glasses in France and Switzerland but am going to look out for them. I'm always in fro a bargain. Thanks for the tip ;) Peter, you are right that the Riedel concept of a different glass for every wine is a rip off and pretty stupid and a very expensive past time.

When using stemless glasses, go for the rustic version found in France and Switzerland. Elegant wine-glasses with fingerprints have never been and will never be very attractive. But Riedel seems to have a good marketing department, because they make people believe they have to spent even more money on their products ;) Sorry to say, but they are a trend.

I always thought they were a bit trendy but now that you have pointed out how practical they were I might have to rethink them. Thanks Ed! I’ve been seeing these more and more often.
