DESCRIPTION

Introduced in 1986, 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.

Vinum has had a permanent impact on the globe?s wine glass culture. These glasses have proved to consumers and restaurateurs that the pleasure of consuming wine starts with the glass.

The fine crystal offers superb clarity so you can experience the wine's color and texture. Comprised of more than 24 percent lead crystal for superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum stems and cocktail glasses are nevertheless affordable because they are machine-made rather than mouth-blown. While all Vinum glassware is dishwasher-safe, Riedel recommends washing the crystal by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste

The Vinum collection, developed by Georg Riedel on the principle that the content commands the shape, is the ?Vitrum-Vinothek? for every day use.

Product Description:

Perfect for young, full-bodied (more than 12 percent alcohol), complex red wines that are high in tannin. This glass smoothes out the rough edges, emphasizing the fruit, allowing wines to achieve a balance that would normally take years of ageing to acquire. The generous size of this glass allows the wine to aerate in the glass and the bouquet to develop fully. The shape of the rim directs the flow of wine onto the front palate which perceives sweetness, thus accentuating the fruit and de-emphasizing the bitter qualities of the tannin.

RECOMMENDED FOR

Bordeaux (red), Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Tempranillo.
