I enjoy a glass of wine now and again. Give me a good Riesling or Pinot Grigio and I’m happy. I also appreciate a good wine glass. Something about an elegant wine glass that just enhances the whole wine tasting experience.
Valentina Paris asked me if I’d like to review their their hand painted wine glasses. They describe them as mouth-blown wine glass hand painted in Paris by Valentina Paris artists. Each glass is unique. Of course I said yes. How could I pass up a wine glass with a description like that?
I received my wine glasses quickly . They came wrapped with care. When I first pulled them out of the box my first honest reaction was “Holy cow these things are BIG!” I’m not used to a big wine glass. After I got over the initial reaction of how big I thought they were, I examined the glass. I could see the two I had were unique from each other. Colors in different places, design slightly differed from the other glass.
I know, in the pictures they don’t look big. I decided to compare them to a bottle of wine and some other wine glasses I had. They certainly do stand out from the other glasses. Much prettier than most of my other wine glasses.
Now if you look at the picture in the top right of this collage you can see the size differences. The Holiday one on the far right is one of those from Arby’s from years ago. Remember those? That’s actually the size I normally use. The one on the far left was from a review I did about 2 years ago. I thought those ones were big. Then there’s the Valentina Paris glasses. I took to my private facebook page to poll friends on what they thought about the size of the wine glasses. Was it just me, were they really big? Turns out, my wine glass collection is finally complete. It seems most everyone that chimed in felt that this was the normal size for wine glasses. I also got a LOT of compliments on them!
- Jennifer said “I have glasses from Pier 1 that can hold half a bottle lol”
- April said “They’re gorgeous!”
- Cathy said “we are big wine drinkers and have several sets of glasses but none that pretty. they look about the size of ours.”
- Jennifer J said “They are beautiful!”
- Sara said “So pretty though! & they can totally be used for fancy cocktails too”
- Trisha said “So pretty!”
- Karen said “Those are very nice!”
The glasses are light, given the size. I think they’d really add some ambiance to a dinner date or party. These glasses were available on Amazon but it looks like they’re out of stock currently
These are very pretty wine glasses.
