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 Martini Glass is a classic take on the most sophisticated cocktail. The impeccable clarity of the flawless crystal makes for an incredible tasting experience. The Martini stem is perfectly proportioned to hold 5 ounces straight up. Size: 5-1/4"H, 5" oz. Riedel Model # 6416/77
There's something very satisfying about the inverted cone shape of the classic martini glass. Riedel makes the Vinum martini glass in a smaller size than many, holding up to 4-5/8 ounces of a favorite Manhattan or gin martini. Measuring approximately six inches in height, each of the two glasses in this set feels beautifully balanced with a lanky stem that is not so thin that it is likely to snap during a lively cocktail party.
Made in Bavaria 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. Since its introduction in 1986, the popular Vinum collection has grown to contain nearly two dozen different glasses. 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

Perfect, as you would expect from Riedel, but perhaps too small for some.:
These martini glasses were purchased to replace some that had broken over the years. The bowls are smaller than the huge glasses you are often given in a martini bar, and smaller than Riedel's premium line. They have a nice weight and balance.
perfect size for a perfect martini:
I had a set of these glasses already and my husband broke one of them, I was glad to see I could find them on Amazon! (you can find ANYTHING on Amazon!) this is the perfect martini glass....small (I think it's under 5 oz.) but when you want a martini w/o a hangover, this is the glass to get. I would rather make myself a couple of small ones and control my pace, then 1 big one that warms up too fast. Great glass!
