Waterford and Marquis, two prestigious crystal companies, joined forces in 1991 to create a simpler, more modern design line for today's lifestyles. Like all fine crystal, Waterford stemware should be washed by hand in moderately hot, soapy water, then rinsed and dried thoroughly to protect the porous surface from harsh detergents. A crystal glass should be stored upright, not on its delicate rim, to ensure longevity for generations to come. --Ann Bieri ... Read more

Editorial Review

For more than 200 years, Waterford has created exceptional crystal admired around the world. In 1991, Waterford and Marquis united to create simpler, more modern designs of equal quality and beauty. The Waterford Marquis Vintage collection showcases classical shapes, while ensuring a contemporary and casual feel that can be used for any occasion.

This set of four 19-1/2-ounce Marquis Vintage deep red wine glasses each stand 8-3/4 inches tall. With an elongated bowl that narrows slightly toward the mouth, this set is specifically proportioned for heavier wines, such as cabernet sauvignon, merlot, or syrah. The shape of the bowl allows the wine to breathe properly and for the aroma to be appreciated to its full extent. Waterford recommends washing all fine crystal by hand in moderately hot water with a mixture of mild lemon detergent and ammonia in order to preserve the quality and brilliance of the crystal for many years. In addition, always store crystal stemware upright in order to prevent chipping. --Lea Werbel ... Read more

Excellent Value
I bought four of the Deep Red Wine Glasses approximately 4 years ago and contrary to what the previous reviewer says I have not noticed any special susceptibility to chipping.Mine are in fine shape - though I have NEVER washed them in the dishwasher (always hand washed).

These are not hand blown glasses as more expensive stemware is, but they have a very nice shaped and a relatively thin bowl.The crystal maintains a nice "ring" to it and has a pleasant feel.For the money, these are excellent glasses.I'll be buying another set as I accidentally knocked one glass of my current set off my kitchen counter.

If you're drinking a variety of wine out of the same plain glass (i.e., not crystal) wine glass, I can not stress (though I was dubious at first) what a difference it makes to 1) drink out of crystal, and 2)to match the wine your drinking to the bowl and shape of the stemware.Though not high-end or as specialized as Reidel or Spieglau (or Waterford, for that matter), these glasses are VERY serviceable, indeed.

Waterford's Marquis line of stemware...
I bought two (2) sets (8 glasses total) of the Deep Red Wine stemware.The glasses are beautiful, and have the shape and feel of Riedel in many respects.

I must say they chip rather easily, compared to experiences with stemware manufactured by more prestigous companies.Word to the wise--don't put these in a dishwasher.My partner did this, thinking that because it wasn't a 'different' brand name, that they were somehow inferior and thus hardier against the jets.Treat these just like Riedel.

The glasses have a great feel in the hand, and the graft where the stem meets the base is smooth and well polished.The lip of the glass also more than passes muster, it's a sharp edged rim that typically tells the difference between good glasses and bad.

My overall recommendation is that unless your mission with entertaining is to impress with implements (rather than with the wine, the food, the host, etc.), buy these for even the best occasions over Riedel, given that these are nearly half the cost.I believe they offer an equivalent drinking experience. ...
