Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Review
Founded in 1756, Europe's Riedel Crystal is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses. The Vinum Extreme series of glasses are machine-made of diamond-shaped 24-percent lead crystal. These glass shapes, with a unique angular look, dramatic oversized bowls, and extra-tall stems, were introduced in 1986 to support the increasingly dense consistency of wines. The design provides an exceptionally wide evaporation surface, thereby intensifying a wine's bouquet and silky texture.

The glasses in this set of four are specifically recommended to enhance the taste of wines such as Chardonnay, White Burgundy, Corton-Charlemagne, Montrachet, and Meursault. The large bowl provides room for the wine's rich bouquet to unfold without becoming too intense. Each glass stands 9-1/8 inches high with a 4-1/2-inch wide bowl and holds 27-1/2 ounces of wine. --Cristina Vaamonde

Very nice wine glasses January 25, 2008
We love these glasses. We have the red extremes also. They are the first ones we go for in the closet.

Terrific glasses! January 6, 2007
Have several different glasses from this collection. Great style, easy to maintain (no dishwasher for these) and are more sturdy than they look. Can't wait to complete the whole set!

Riedels Have A Profound effect on wine! September 30, 2002
11 out of 12 found this review helpful

Store your Waterford or Baccarat crystal wineglasses, or leave them in your china cabinet for "show" only. You won't want to use them again (unless you are having a generic table wine). Over a year ago, I began collecting four styles of the Riedel Vinum Extreme stems, the Riedel Sommelier White Burgundy, and the Sommelier Mature Bordeaux stems. They are my requests from family and friends for all gift-giving occasions. All the Riedels should be filled only to 1/4 to 1/3 capacity, allowing the remainder of the generous bowls to capture, then release, the fragrant, secretive, seductive aromas of the wines to which the stems refer, as the wine is swirrled, then sniffed, for an amazing hedonistic pleasure before sipping and capturing the flavors on the four sensory sections of the tongue, a task the shape and size of the glasses are also designed to accomplish. There is such an amazing difference between these glasses and the many others my husband and I have used during our 27-year marriage. When using the Riedel glasses, a really good, vintage wine tastes like a rare, superb wine; a good but inexpensive young wine exhibits aromas and characteristics we never dreamed they could have. Invest in them! They are worth it! We are currently using our Riedels while taking an on-line wine course together. What an enjoyable activity for couples and friends to share!

More Perfection from Riedel August 20, 2002
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Big, gorgeous, sturdy wine glasses of superior Austrian crystal -- with enough dramatically elegant style to give them a delicate beauty.

Oh, and the wide openings diffuse enough of the cheap oak Napa Chardonnay vintners use, to make a so-so wine taste like something better.

Why only four stars for such quality stemware? Because I'm just not much of a white wine drinker. But I sure like having these on hand for dinner guests.

Highly recommended.
