Had a couple of cartons of the Esse white wine glass bought from Grace Bros eons ago but am now down to my last 2 glasses.
Any good buys in Sydney at the moment?

'Wheel&Barrow' in North Ryde Macquarie (and possibly elsewhere) do a very good range (Oberglas?) of glassware. They have a doppelganger of the Riedel chardy glass for about $8 which we use a lot (I have 2 Riedel Chardies, and the differences are infintesimal).

I too use the 'Wheel and Barrow options, at $12 for the large "Bordeaux style, again the differences to Riedel are slight, and a nicely thin lip also.
In Sydney, you don't want to be touching the bowl - as in the "O" series. I quite like using them though, but only for novelty value really. I can't imagine myself contemplating/analysing a wine over an evening in such a glass.
May I ask for some ingenuity please... Can anyone think of a purpose for Riedel Vinum Shiraz and Chinti bowls that have their stems broken off? There must be something. I was thinking about making my own set of "O" series type Riedel but I am not sure if that is possible or what the right equipment to grind down the remaining stems would be. I would obviously call them my "Oh" series.

Just drill some small holes in your dining table so you can sit them in like those icecream cone holders.
I have never broken any riedel glass. I always washed it when I am sober never under the influence. I never let my other half wash it (that's probably why I have never broken any ). Hand washed without detergent under hot water from the tap around 60 degrees. just keep it under the water until the glass is as hot and tip it up side down. when the majority of water is evapurated , just gives it a light polish and it shines like diamond. Works everytime.
Over a dinner party of 6 people in my place, we used over 20 various riedel glass in total, all hand washed and good as new.
