Amazon.com Review: Renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the liquid within. Uniquely shaped bowls allow these two glasses to release yet contain the aroma and flavor of any fine spirit or liqueur. Long-stemmed and broad-based, providing just the right mixture of delicacy and stability, each glass stands 6-3/8 inches tall and holds a mere 2-7/8 ounces at full capacity. The set makes a superb wedding gift or adds to an existing collection for the serious sipper of high-end tequila, gin, cream or chocolate liqueurs, and other such spirits.
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. Riedel introduced the popular Vinum line in 1986, and this particular glass the following year. 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
