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. Wines made from the Syrah grape typically exhibit intense aromas blackberries, pepper as well as floral scents. The narrow rim of the Riedel Vinum Rhone / Syrah wine glass directs the flow of wine to the mid-palate, allowing you to experience the wine's silky texture and sensuous fruit flavors, while the tannins flow to the back of the palate for a smooth finish. Recommended for: Amarone, Barbera, Rhone (red). Size: 9-1/4"H, 22-7/8 oz. Riedel Model # 6416/30
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 Syrah glass is tall and deep to capture the luscious fruity aroma of dark purple Syrah, or Shiraz, as it's known in Australia, and to highlight the tannins. 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 9-1/4 inches tall and holds 22-7/8 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

Riedel Vinum Syrah Glasses:
ANYONE who drinks wine, NEEDS these glasses. It makes any wine taste better. These are amazing-I can't say enough. If you do a side by side test-you won't believe it. Even someone who doesn't drink wine could taste the difference. If you do't own Riedel, you're not really that into wine.
