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 Riedel Vinum 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: 8-1/2"H, 12-1/3 oz. Riedel Model # 6416/33
Renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the wine within. Beautifully balanced and with just the right mixture of delicacy and stability, the two glasses in this set are designed especially for the enjoyment of Sauvignon Blanc, Fumé Blanc, Sancerre, and Sémillon. Standing 8-1/2 inches tall and holding 12-3/8 ounces at full capacity, each glass features a slighter longer stem and more tapered lip than the Riedel Chablis glass, in order to direct the wine to the correct zone on the palate. The set makes a superb wedding gift or adds to an existing collection for the serious wine lover.
Comprised of more than 24 percent lead crystal for superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum wine glasses are nevertheless affordable because they are machine-made rather than mouth-blown. Riedel introduced the popular Vinum line in 1986, and this particular glass in 1998. While all Vinum glassware is dishwasher-safe, Riedel recommends washing the crystal by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

excellent glasses:
This series of glasses is surprisingly essential for enjoyment of wine! We notice a difference in even the least expensive wines when enjoyed in the proper glass. We have collected at least a pair for each wine variety and use them all the time.
