Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Founded in 1756, Europes's Riedel Crystal is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses. The Vinum Extreme series of glasses are machine-made of diamond-shaped 24 percent lead crystal. These glass shapes, with a unique angular look, dramatic oversized bowls, and extra-tall stems, were introduced in 1986 to support the increasingly dense consistency of wines. The design provides an exceptionally wide evaporation surface, thereby intensifying a wine's bouquet and silky texture.

The glasses in this set of six were specifically shaped to highlight the fruit in medium-bodied white wines such as white Bordeaux, Gewürztraminer, Hermitage Blanc, Marsanne, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon-Semillon, and Viognier. The glasses enhance the taste by balancing the intensity of flavors and offering a smooth finish, plus they contribute to the wine's perfect display. Each glass stands 9-1/2 inches high with a 3-1/2-inch wide bowl and holds 16-7/8 ounces of wine. --Cristina Vaamonde
