Product Description

Size: Chablis Chardonnay

Amazon.com Product Description

Starting with the idea that a glass’ contents should determine its shape, Riedel created the Vinum stemware line to enhance the specific qualities of different types of wine. This concept is now well appreciated throughout the wine world, but Riedel Vinum is the pioneering example and one much loved for its combination of elegance and affordability. Machine-blown for consistency and crafted from 24 percent lead crystal, the glasses are clear, brilliant, and lovely. In action, their polished rims let wine flow smoothly, and their shape and sizing work together to direct wine to the ideal part of the palette.

One of the Vinum originals introduced in 1986, this glass is designed for medium-bodied, crisp white wines, such as Chardonnay, Semillion, and Chablis. Standing 7-3/4 inches high, it holds 12-3/8 ounces and should be washed by hand. This set includes eight Chablis stems for the usual price of six--an exceptional value to match the glass’ exceptional quality.

Product Description

This Riedel Vinum Chablis/Chardonnay stemware set is an amazing value at 8 glasses for the price of 6. The glasses in this set of eight were specifically designed to bring balance and harmony into medium bodied, crisp white wines such as chardonnay, semillion, and chablis. The design of the bowl directs the wine to the area of the palate that will highlight the rich fruit while balancing its moderate acidity. Each glass stands 7-3/4 inches high. Riedel is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses. Made of lead crystal, the Vinum series of glasses are Riedel's most popular series, and were the first machine-made wine glasses to be developed uniquely for each type of wine. Since their introduction in 1986, these wine glasses have had a large influence on the wine culture, and wine lovers around the globe.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lovely feel, and makes wine taste better, But, February 10, 2010

Lovely feel, and makes wine taste better, But, man are they fragile. If you want the EXACT same shape (maybe a little thicker crystal in some places) try the Schott Zwiesel Forte's. The Bordeaux is exactly like the Vinum Bordeaux, but cheaper and a LOT more sturdy.

If you enjoy good wine then you must try Riedel glasses for the appropriate type wine you are drinking. They do make a difference. This is a special deal since you get 8 glasses for the price of 6! Not everyone is lucky enough not to break a glass at some time.
