Riedel Vinum Bordeaux, Set of 2

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. In addition to wine stems, the Vinum collection also includes cocktail glasses. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

Product Description
Made of 24-percent lead crystal by Riedel, these Bordeaux wine glasses are perfectly shaped to enhance the bouquet and flavor of your red wine. This wine glass is recommended for young, full-bodied (more than 12 percent alcohol), complex red wines, such as Bordeaux, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riojas, that are high in tannin. The distinct bowl shape directs the wine to your sweet-sensitive tastebuds. The generous size allows the bouquet to fully develop. This set of wine glasses is a wonderful complement to any style of dinnerware. The Vinum line is functional, high quality glass that belongs to the Riedel family of stemware. Introduced in 1986, the Vinum collection was first in a series of stemware in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varietals, meaning the content commands the shape.
