Product Description: This set of four glasses is designed for enjoying your favorite vintages of Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. Part of Riedel's Vinum Extreme collection, the machine-blown, lead-crystal glasses are named for their extreme contours with diamond-shaped bowls that angle out dramatically before narrowing at the top, thus creating exceptionally wide evaporation surfaces that intensify bouquet and enhance silkiness in the mouth. Hand wash for lasting results.
Amazon.com Review: Founded in 1756, Europes'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 six were specifically shaped to highlight the fruit in medium-bodied white wines such as white Bordeaux, Gewürztraminer, Hermitage Blanc, Marsanne, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon-Semillon, and Viognier. The glasses enhance the taste by balancing the intensity of flavors and offering a smooth finish, plus they contribute to the wine's perfect display. Each glass stands 9-1/2 inches high with a 3-1/2-inch wide bowl and holds 16-7/8 ounces of wine. --Cristina Vaamonde
