The Riedel Vinum Extreme Sauvignon Blanc wine glass showcases the best qualities of dry, aromatic white wines with medium to light body and high acidity. The shape of the bowl highlights fruit and floral components, while the rim directs the flow of wine to the front of the palate, allowing you to appreciate the balance of fruit and acidity. Recommended for: Bordeaux (white), Chenin Blanc, Fumé Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Loire (Blanc), Sémillon. Size: 9-1/2"H, 16-1/4 oz. Riedel Model # 444/5
Renowned European glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the wine within. To meet the demand of today's increasingly more concentrated wines, Riedel developed the Vinum Extreme line, which features a pronounced diamond shaped bowl. Slender and graceful, the two Vinum Extreme glasses in this set are designed especially to give capture the aromas of whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Pinot Blanc, and Riesling. At the same time, the modern diamond shape looks distinctly snazzier than typical wine stems.
Though Vinum Extreme glasses are machine-made to be affordable, the glasses nonetheless consist of 24 percent lead crystal for distinctive clarity and brilliance. Each Sauvignon Blanc glass stands 9-1/2 inches tall and holds 16-1/4 ounces at full capacity, and as part of a set makes a handsome wedding gift or augments an existing collection. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum Extreme crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

Great wine glasses!:
Have several different glasses from this collection. Great style, easy to maintain (no dishwasher for these) and are more sturdy than they look. (The two pak set was the better price at the time of purchase and that made shipping easier too as it reduced chance of breakage.
