my favorite wine glasses
These wine glasses are perfect for every day use. We registered for them for our wedding and are so happy with them. The weight isn't too heavy but is substantial enough that you don't feel like you will break the glass. They are durable and easy to wash.

Beautiful but fragile!
I received the red and white glasses for our wedding and they are beautiful. Very classic. However, they are very fragile. I have yet to break one though!

Simple Yet Beautiful
These glasses are great. They are so simple but really beautiful. My only concern is that they are quite thin so care is needed when washing.

Simply elegant
When I first saw the Nora wine glasses I knew they were perfect for our new home in Low Country South Carolina. I wanted a glass that had a simple but sophisticated appearance and felt just 'right' when held. The shape and thin stem are perfectly proportioned for a timeless look whether used for informal or formal occasions. Quality craftsmanship at a reasonable price.

Good product for the price
We received these wine glasses for our wedding. For the most part, they have held up pretty well - though one time I was (gently) hand washing one and the stem snapped in half.
My only complaint is that after awhile, the rim of the glass becomes rough - like you can feel little ridges forming. It's not enough to cut a lip or anything, but I will end up having to replace those glasses eventually (it hasn't happened with all of them, just a few).

Great buy!
We registered for these glasses and we really love them! We looked for a long time for wine glasses that we liked and we love the look of these! They are holding up well so far and we are looking forward to purchasing more in the future.

Beautiful Glasses
These wine glasses are great for everyday use. I love how thin and light the glass is. I am a little worried that they will break easily, but have been hand washing them for about 6 months and haven't broken one yet.

Elegant glasses @ good price
I purchased my first set of the Nora glasses years ago. We recently purchased a condo in Utah and immediately ordered these glasses for our new home. They look great and would highly recommend them to someone looking for a nice looking wine glass at a reasonable price.

Terrific glasses... just buy extras!
My wife and I registered for the goblets when we got married 6 years ago. We use them at least 4-5 nights a week, and we still love them. The shape is excellent for most red wines, and they look great.
That being said, I agree 100% with the people who complained about the fragility. We have broken at least a half dozen of these over the last 6 years, and although I tease my wife about it because she is the primary culprit, it is an annoyance. We always keep at least 1, and sometimes 2, extra glasses in the closet. I worry that if these ever get discontinued, we'll be out of luck. For now, I just keep a stash and expect my wife to break one or two a year.

Beautiful Proportions and Glass
I have had my wine glasses for six years and none of them have broken. The proportions are graceful for both white and red, the glass thin and crystal clear. I love them and would highly recommend for them for a beautifully laid out table, or just summer casual drinking.

Great glasses but...
The Nora wine glasses are beautiful and I was happy to have ordered them. However, they came with an astonishing amount of packing! I realize they are glass and thus need packing, but the amount of packing was over the top. Is there any way to reduce the volume of waste? Lots of it (but not all) was recyclable thankfully.

Beautiful but not functional
My husband and I just got married last August and loved all of our items that we received from C&B. The Nora white and red wine glasses are beautiful, delicate and would go well with anyone's taste and style but they are not functional. Because the glasses are so delicate, we have lost a couple just by hand washing them in the sink. As beautiful as these glasses are, I would not recommend buying them because they won't be something that you will have forever.

Best Wine Glasses
I love these glasses! They are great shape and the most elegant and sophisticated feel. Wine glasses that are this light weight usually cost 4 times the price.

Best wine glass for the price
My husband and I had no trouble agreeing that these were the glasses to register for. They are delicate and elegant, but they are priced so much better than alternatives we considered. They are obviously great for wine, but we have also used them for sparking water and orange juice at brunch. They do seem fragile, but most elegant wine glasses are, and we have had no trouble with them (we wash by hand).

Love this look
I love the way these glasses look. I also find they do just fine in the dishwasher. We have the red and white wine sizes. They do have a fairly delicate stem, so we've lost about four (in five years or so), but that's my only issue.

Elegant
My husband and I registered for the Nora red and white wine glasses when we married five years ago, and we've been enjoying them since. They're very elegant. I agree that they're a bit fragile, but I've hand washed them from the beginning and have never broken or chipped one. I would highly recommend these glasses.

Beautiful, but easily broken
While they are absolutely gorgeous glasses, please hand wash ever so gently bc they break and chip very very easily - would have gone with different glasses but none looked as nice

Awesome Wine Glasses!
We love the Nora red wine glasses! They feel more expensive than they are and they look very elegant!

Basic glass but breaks easily
We've had these glasses for 6 years now and use some of them at least twice a week. They are good basic glasses but are somewhat thin and chip and break easily. Just washing them you need to be careful in the sink.
I think they are farily priced and are plain that they look nice enough to serve to anyone (your wine snob friends included).

Quality Compares to High End but Price does NOT
I recieved these for Christmas two years ago. I had seen them on-line and mentioned that I wanted some new wine glasses to my husband. He ordered these without me finding out and it was such a surprise. They were even nicer than I had imagined. The quality rivals a higher end product, but the price is much lower. These are so nice that I tossed out my old glasses because I prefer to drink from these. It makes me feel like I am in a fine restaurant or wine bar.
