wine glasses

[Thomas]

Bucko, I did some research in Europe on wine glasses to sell at the store. The reason you can find discounted Riedel is that the regular price is excessive in the U.S.

As far as I can determine, Riedel glasses are mainly produced in the Czech Republic; the cost to produce them is quite low, but their marketing is quite good, and so their prices are quite high. Also, they are distributed through an army of (to be politically correct) middlepersons, jacking the price each time along the way.

The end result: we decided to seek other glasses that are produced in the Czech Republic, are of the same quality, and cost less.
