Editorial Review:
Originally introduced in 1986, Riedel's Vinum collection was the first series of machine-made glasses based on the characteristics of different wine varietals. These functional, high-quality glasses are suitable for any occasion, and each perfectly shaped bowl is designed to enhance the flavor of your favorite wine. Zinfandel / Chianti / Riesling glass shown right.
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. Modest in size at 8-1/4 inches in height and with a capacity of 13 ounces, this glass is unusual in that it can be used for both a red Chianti and a white Riesling, or even a sparkling Vouvray. The set of two Vinum glasses makes a beautiful gift for a new couple, or will nicely augment an existing wine glass collection.
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. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

Great glasses:
If your a wine geek (like me), then you already know Riedel glasses are the best. The only downside is they are a bit fragile and require attention when washing (no dishwasher for these babies).
