Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The Wine Series offers the legendary wine-enhancing qualities of Riedel glassware in an affordable yet attractive package. Bowl shapes are modeled after Riedel's popular Vinum series, but because they're machine-made from high-quality non-leaded glass, they're ideal for the novice oenophile or for everyday use. As with the Vinum series, each type of glass is carefully formed to bring out the best in a specific varietal. Here, the shape of bowl and mouth are specifically designed to enhance the flavor, bouquet and texture of full-bodied reds like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Machine-made in Europe by master glassmakers, each glass stands 9-1/4 inches tall and holds 21-1/2 ounces at full capacity. --Mary Park

It combines a light-catching, decorative stem and Vinum's most popular bowls.Their appearance and price position them as functional, wine-specific-machine-blown glasses. 'Wine' fill a niche in the market and is executed from lead-free crystal.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent product, highly recommend!, April 22, 2006

This review is from: Riedel Wine Series Cabernet/Merlot Glass, Set of 4 (Kitchen)

We have three sets of these and have been very pleased with them. They seem to be tougher than normal wine glasses in that we have not broke or chipped a single stem in 5 years.

We prefer the stemmed glasses to the tumblers because we don't want to handle the bowl and warm the wine. Also, I think that the stems are easier to handle (they don't slip out of your hand).

The price at Amazon is much better than our local wine store or IWA. Two of our three sets were ordered through Amazon and all arrived intact.

I highly recommend this product to anyone that really enjoys his or her wine.

This review is from: Riedel Wine Series Cabernet/Merlot Glass, Set of 4 (Kitchen)

This economy priced Riedel cabernet glass is typical of all Riedel glasses. We use it as an all-purpose, everyday glass. I have used Riedel glasses for over ten years and am sold on their design and durability.

These glasses have a lightweight heft I actually prefer to crystal, yet they're sturdy enough for the dishwasher and everyday handling. This is a great bowl shape to enhance any red, not just Cabs ("...I'm not drinking any ****ing Merlot!..."). Some snobs may insist on crystal, but if you're not one of them, these should be the one red wine glass to own.
