Amazon.com Review

Renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the wine within. Crafted in the modern diamond shape of Riedel's Vinum Extreme line, this elegantly tall glass highlights the sweet aspects of icewine (made from grapes frozen on the vine) and other dessert wines. Beautifully balanced and with just the right mixture of delicacy and stability, the set of two makes a handsome gift or adds to an existing collection for the budding oenophile. Each long-stemmed icewine glass stands 8-7/8 inches tall and holds 10 ounces at full capacity.

Riedel developed the Vinum Extreme line to meet the demand of today's increasingly more concentrated wines. Though produced in Bavaria of more than 24 percent lead crystal, which lends superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum Extreme glasses are affordable because they are machine-made rather than mouth-blown. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum Extreme crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

I love these wine glasses. You can use them for vintage Porto. You can also use them for fine wine. They feel great in the hand. Smaller than a Bordeaux glass but that's not a problem for me. I love them...

Riedel makes the best wine glasses in the world. This set is perfect for my favorite icewines, like Inniskillin Vidal. The glasses are elegant and functional. The shape and size permit my nose to enter the glass while drinking, enhancing the flavor with bouquet and aroma. I highly recommend these to anyone that enjoys dessert wine.
