Absolutely! You’ll find multiple threads opining on favorite stemware. It’s an integral part of the wine experience.

Bored with my stems and not able to replace my Rosenthal Thomas glasses, (broken everyone 1975-2019, RIP) I searched and found nice looking ones online Rovsya 28 oz large wine and AOOE Champagne Flutes (Luna and Mantha), both hand blown. Fair price and ordering transferred to Amazon. They arrived promptly, packaging superb, black boxed, handled, gift boxes. foam encased. The Egg shaped flutes I like, 11" tall, weightless, half the weight of Speigel Gau, completely different elegant feel due to height and weightlessness.
The 28 oz large wine disappointed, same as my old Ikea in weight and rim thickness. I complained and was offered full refund or replacement, "keep what we sent." I asked for thinnest available red wine rims. Some communication issue with seller intermediary about rim however they shipped Udisons 18oz Burgundy tulip 9.5" tall, delicate by weight, half the weight and rim diam of Ikea or Mantha. Same rim as Riedel, half the heft. You may like or not weightless glass for me a different drinking exercise especially for Champagne. I'm enjoying red wine as well nice feel, does Cognac well. An ultra thin larger glass is advertised? May order.

I won't post prices, but cheap. Service I take to be a middleman who is paid to please and assure positive Amazon reviews. No country of origin which must mean China. One of the better values available in 2024.

Never get bored with my Riedel stems. I much prefer a little heft and stability in my stems.

Still occasionally use my old Spiegelau Burgundy stems.

These stems are not for those requiring heft. The height will bother some, for others make a statement on the dinner table.
