Product Description:
Riedel Vinum Wine Glasses make every drop of wine taste its best. Riedel revolutionized glassware by customizing the shape of wine glasses to a particular type of wine. Each wine glass is fine-tuned to direct the flow of the wine onto parts of the palate that will best express the flavors and aromas of a specific wine varietal. The fine crystal offers superb clarity so you can experience the wine's color and texture.Moreover, all machine made Vinum stems are completely dishwasher safe. Made of over 24% leaded crystal. The Ridel Vinum Pinot Noir / Burgundy wine glass is ideal for full-bodied red wines with high acidity and moderate tannins. Its slightly tapered rim directs the flow of wine toward the front palate, highlighting the rich fruit while tempering the acidity. The generously sized bowl provides ample breathing space for the bouquet to develop, capturing the nuances of the wineâs aromas. Recommended for: Barbaresco, Barbera, Barolo, Burgundy (red), Gamay, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir. Size: 8-1/4'H, 24-3/4 oz. Riedel Model # 6416/7

Amazon.com Review:
The Vinum collection from renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel gives serious wine drinkers an extensive choice of moderately priced crystal, each glass designed especially to enhance a particular wine. The Burgundy glass is large and rounded to allow the bouquet of a red wine to flourish. Not just any red wine, but reds high in acidity with moderate tannin levels, such as Red Burgundy and Pinot Noir. The glass helps offset the acidity of the wine by directing it right to the zone on the tongue that registers sweetness. This set of four Vinum glasses will nicely augment an existing wine glass collection or start a budding oenophile on building one. Each beautifully balanced glass stands 8-1/4 inches tall and holds 24-3/4 ounces.

Though comprised of more than 24 percent lead crystal, which lends superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum glasses are affordable because they are machine-made. In fact, Vinum is the first machine-made line dedicated to Riedel's philosophy of shaping and sizing a glass to suit the wine within. In addition to wine stems, the Vinum collection also includes cocktail glasses. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

- Wine glasses
I am a fan of Riedel Vinum. The product was shipped promptly to me at my winter home in the US Virgin Islands. I recommend this company highly.

Rating:

- A "must have" for Pinot Noir drinkers
Bowl design enhances aroma of Pinot Noirs and delivers wine to the back of pallete where wine can be most appreciated.
