Also, I’ve seen reviews where they actually test the temps and the spiegelau glasses warm slower over time due to their use of thinner glass... Sounds strange but I guess that’s how thermodynamics work. ---Posted via Beer Buddy for iPhone I can’t argue with a test I guess... but a thinner glass made out of the same material will guaranteed warm the beer faster than a thicker glass (I studied heat transfer at university). It would have to be the coefficient of conductive heat transfer between the materials. Perhaps the Spiegelau glass is made out of a material that is a very poor conductor... although I would think most ceramics would be comparable. Idk.

Message omega beers 899 º 23:23 Mon 4/28/2014 Riedels are fantastic glasses, but too delicate and pricey for me. Nothing like spending $100/stem and having the stem break due to the fineness. Stick to the Spiegelau range (same company?) as they are cost effective and durable. I use the Cantina Bordeaux glass for everything. Functional, good looking, and almost large enough for a bomber.
