Until this purchase, I have always sipped my tequila in a cocktail glass. I was online and stumbled on these glasses; they were so beautiful I decided to buy them but I was not sure that it would make my sipping experience any better. I was so wrong. When I got the glasses, I poured some tequila in the Riedel and in my usual cocktail glass to compare. When I picked up the Riedel, the first thing that I noticed was the nose. The shape of the glass made the aroma more concentrated, which I loved. The first pour in to my mouth hit the middle of my tongue, which gave the tequila a smoother taste as compared to drinking from the cocktail glass, where the drink hits the tip of the tongue. I am extremely pleased with these glasses and the new tasting experience achieved with them. These glasses should be available at any establishment that serves sipping tequila!

Thanks Zappos for giving me next day shipping for no charge! Wow, had them the next day. As for the glasses, they are great. You can really enjoy the the Tequila smell with them. I smelled the Tequila for 5 minutes before I drank it. Just enjoyable way to drink Tequila. A must have for Tequila drinkers.

I have become a tequila sipper and love these glasses. The same science that applies to the wine glasses applies to these tequila glasses. The shape of the glass brings out the flavor of the tequila and makes you appreciate it even more.

About Riedel
As a wine glass company, Riedel crafts the finest glasses, enhancing your wine and your table. The shape of a Riedel glass makes it an instrument of pleasure and the designs are as casual and contemporary as the stemless "O" glass or as elegant and timeless as the hand-blown Sommeliers series.
Specializing in leaded crystal stemware, Riedel produces mouth-blown, handmade glassware as well as non-leaded machine made glassware. Many design awards have been bestowed upon the company, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York displays Riedel to this day.
The "Sommeliers" series of wineglasses were first introduced about 30 years ago and they had the distinction of being the first stemware designed specifically for the character of the wine. The specially designed bowls encourage the full bouquet or "nose" of the wine to develop.
Today, that same Riedel innovation is found in the tall and proud "Vitis" series, the elegant Vinum series, the modern and casual stemless "O" series and continues on in the "Sommeliers" series of beautiful stemware. Riedel's wine and bar glasses are made for strength and clarity for everyday use.
The extreme clarity of Riedel glassware makes them ideal for serving water, fine wine, cocktails, champagne and other beverages at the dinner table. And the stunningly beautiful decanters Riedel makes will transform the ordinary tablescape into something quite extraordinary. Enrich your life with the timeless elegance of fine glassware from Riedel.
