Renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the wine within. Beautifully balanced and with just the right mixture of delicacy and stability, the two glasses in this set are designed to let the flavorful characteristics of such white wines as Chablis and Chardonnay shine through. Each thin-stemmed glass stands 7-3/4 inches tall and holds 12-3/8 ounces at full capacity. The set makes a superb wedding gift or adds to an existing collection for the serious wine drinker.
Comprised of more than 24 percent lead crystal for superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum wine glasses are nevertheless affordable because they are machine-made rather than mouth-blown. Riedel introduced the popular Vinum line, including the Chablis glass, in 1986. 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
These Vinum Chardonnay glasses are made of 24-percent lead crystal by Riedel, renowned glassmakers in Europe. Wine connoisseurs will particularly appreciate the care and design that goes into making sure each Vinum glass is the perfect shape for enhancing the bouquet and flavor of specific varietals. The distinct bowl shape directs the wine to just the right part of the palate so each note can be appreciated and savored. Use Vinum Chardonnay stemware for serving Chardonnay and Chenin blancs or any light white to experience the best bouquet and flavor. Its classic design complements virtually any table or dinnerware collection. Introduced in 1986, the Vinum collection is based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varietals, meaning the content commands the shape.
