I was in Gordman's the other day and they had the Ovation series of Reidel wine glasses on close out for $27 for 4 glasses. The original price was $72. I may go hit up another Gordman's here in Tulsa and pick up another dozen red wine glasses. Just to have.

Are there health concerns with leaded crystal? (Honest question.)

Not really because the liquid is not in the glass long enough. You probably don't want to store anything (cognac, port) in leaded crystal decanters, but the drinking glasses pose no problems.

Sounds like a very good deal.

I got some nice Riedel schnapps glasses a year ago on a close out sale at a local store. It worked out to be about half price.

pendant alert: it's "Riedel", pronounced "Ree-del"

If an admin has time, fixing the spelling in the title may help future searches.

I just ordered some Schott Zwiesel Tritan wine glasses, which are unleaded crystal said to be made with titanium which makes them dishwasher safe and hard to break (they might not know who they're dealing with on that second one).

Have I made a terrible mistake?

We recently looked at tritan for sekt and dessert wine glasses, but decided to go with the classic schott zwiesel line because the rims where thinner. But we did get the smaller tritan "long drink" glasses to use for water. They're great and are definitely fine in the dishwasher. I break just about every glass I look at, and so far both SZ lines have held up.

We might have to have a breakage race, then.
