Comment on Libbey Vina 16-3/4-Ounce Stemless Red-Wine Glasses, Set of 4 by Maya H. Crank

Review by Maya H. Crank for Libbey Vina 16-3/4-Ounce Stemless Red-Wine Glasses, Set of 4 Rating: These glasses are chic, stable, large enough to let the wine breathe and let out all of its aromas. Sometimes, a glass of wine is on the countertop, and I am just passing by - the aroma hits my nose so pleasantly that I just have to stop and stick it in the glass. Also, I personally like stemless glasses, so these look perfect to me. They can be used for soft drinks, water and fruit juice as well. I definitely would recommend this product as a very good buy.

Review by S. Dorsey for BonJour Chateau Deluxe Tabletop Wine Opener, Black Rating: This product cost $50, and felt like something I'd purchase at a 99cent store. The handle flexes when you hold it, and the corkscrew is cheap and flimsy. I bought this as a gift, and I'm glad I opened it to inspect for shipping damage, because I saw the quality and immediately returned the item at my own shipping cost. I would never give such shoddy product as a gift.

Review by Jennifer Savage for NewAir AW-180E Thermoelectric Wine Cooler With Touch Screen Rating: This is the second wine cellar I have purchased in the last 3 years and I researched this for a week. The last wine cellar I had was a bust from Oster, a great Black Friday deal but stopped working after 6 months. My experience was that it took several hours to cool down and it was realy picky about the ambient temperature. Just a little dust on the back cover sent the internal temp upward and really, all I wanted was chilled wine!!! After all my research, I kept coming back to this model. This has the "look" I wanted for my kitchen but I had never owned a product by this company. I did read the other reviews regarding the humming sound it makes but in my position my previous wine cellar sounded like a jet taking off each time you opened the door to get out a bottle of wine and it had to kick in to lower the internal temp again.
When I first unpacked the NewAir cellar, my first thought was wow, this is beautiful!! I got it set in it's new home by the wet bar and plugged it in. Gorgeous!! The temperature starting out showed 74 degrees and it was automatically set to go down to 54 degrees. And it got to 54 degrees....in 30 minutes!!!! I was shocked!! So by that time, I loaded about 10 bottles of wine into the cellar. It took about 1 1/2 hours total to chill all that wine that had been at room temperature. I am very impressed with this machine. As for the humming sound, I have yet to hear it. I know it is working because the wine is cold, but not sure what the other reviewer were describing...maybe my kitchen is just noisy!!hahaahaha
Anyway, I would not hesitate to recommend this cellar and will follow up in a few months with an additional review.

Review by Jonathan Lee Holland for Libbey Vina 16-3/4-Ounce Stemless Red-Wine Glasses, Set of 4 Rating: I love these glasses. Not as tippy as stem-ware. Holds plenty of wine and air so you get the nose. Reasonably priced, so replacing broken glasses is no big deal. I use them for everything now, including water.

Review by A. Katrompas for BonJour Chateau Deluxe Tabletop Wine Opener, Black Rating: I've been using this opener for 5 months, its opened every bottle quickly and easily (a lot of bottles), no pushed down corks, no broken corks, and its still in one piece. Overall though its obvioulsy cheaply constructed and doesn't look as good as I would have hoped (it looks as cheap as it feels). Right out of the box I recognized it for weak construction so I've just been carful with it, and its worked just fine.

Review by Bobby G for NewAir AW-180E Thermoelectric Wine Cooler With Touch Screen Rating: This is what I was looking for in a wine cooler. So far it is working just as I had hoped for.
I like the easy adjust temperature control and where I have it behind my bar, it has plenty
ventilation room. I would have given this a five but it arrived in a torn packing box with
a few dents on the side and top. Where I have the cooler you cannot see the dents but
the packaging was quite poor. It came in a carton with one styrofoam end corner. I would
greatly suggest they do a better job of packing the product. I thought about sending it
back but since it works so well, I decided to keep it. The small size really fits just about anywhere
but be sure you have enough room for the ventilation. I would not get this for wine storage
but if you drink wine and like to have a place to store it so when you want it,, it is chilled -
then this is for you.

Review by Dallas Foley for Libbey Vina 16-3/4-Ounce Stemless Red-Wine Glasses, Set of 4 Rating: There isn't much to say about this product. The set is 10 bucks, so the price is right. The glasses are light and delicate like wine glasses should be, but not to the point that you feel they're going to break easily. They can handle some slight mishandling, but don't expect amazing durability. For the price, I don't think you can beat this set if you're looking for stemless red wine glasses. However, I will say that they aren't the most eye-catching pieces of glassware in the world. They're very simple and designed with function in mind. I think I'm also going to get a set of traditional stemmed wine glasses, simply because I'm sometimes in the mood to drink wine in something a little more visually interesting. For what they are, though, you can't go wrong here.

The bottom line:
- Simple, functional, quality glassware at a great price.

Review by C. Kim for NewAir AW-180E Thermoelectric Wine Cooler With Touch Screen Rating: We love this cooler. It works great and is quiet. The temp is accurate. I compared it to a portable digital thermometer and it is right on. It looks great, small and affective. The LED light adds to the look. Very smooth and sleek.

Review by G. Smith for BonJour Chateau Deluxe Tabletop Wine Opener, Black Rating: They built the main support beam and fastening joint with cheap plastic. Broke literally the first time I used it. Am sending it back.

Review by Katherine B. Jackson for BonJour Chateau Deluxe Tabletop Wine Opener, Black Rating: I gave this wine opener as a gift to my husband for Christmas. He also received a handheld wine opener of a different brand from his father. Besides the fact that a piece broke off the second time we used it, it wasn't able to fit many of our bottles of wine because it wasn't tall enough, and out of three bottles we opened with it, it pushed the cork down into one of the bottles. When comparing the weight and sturdiness of the opener my father-in-law got my husband and the one I got, there was no comparison. Mine felt like I picked it up at the dollar store.
