Riedel Vinum Cuvée Prestige Glass, Set of 2 for $46.95

Customer Rating :

List Price : $55.00 Price : $46.95

Product Description

Designed with your favorite sparkling wines in mind, the Riedels invented a unique way to extend the bubble action. At the base of these elegantly curved Champagne glasses lies the secret; a tiny glass dot formation in the very bottom of the bowls produce a "time-release" effect, keeping your bubbly - bubbly. Introduced in 1986, the Riedel Vinum line was the first machine-made series of glasses in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varietals. The Vinum series has had a strong and permanent impact on the wine glass culture around the globe. These glasses have proven to consumers and restauranteurs that the pleasure of consuming wines starts with the glass. Developed by 10th generation Georg Riedel on the principle that the contents commands the shape, Vinum is great for everyday use. These glasses are made with over 24% lead crystal.

Amazon.com Review

This graceful flute from Riedel's Vinum line is designed especially for Cuvée Prestige, Champagne, Prosecco, and other sparkling wines. Not only does the slender, tapered shape enhance the bouquet of such wines, but an etched surface in the flute bottom aids in generating a steady release of bubbles. Each of the two glasses in this set stands 8-5/8 inches tall and holds 8-1/8 ounces at full capacity.

Comprised of more than 24 percent lead crystal, which lends superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum glasses are nonetheless affordable because they are crafted by machine. 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 extensive Vinum collection also includes cocktail and spirits glasses. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste.--Ann Bieri

• Set of 2 crystal flutes designed especially for sparkling wines
• Machine-crafted in Bavaria from 24-percent lead crystal
• Etched bottom aids in generating bubbles; shape enhances bouquet
• Each glass stands 8-5/8 inches tall and holds 8-1/8 ounces

Riedel Vinum Cognac Hennessy Glasses, Set of 2 for $42.99

Customer Rating :

List Price : $49.50 Price : $42.99

Product Description

Fine elegance meets pure function with this Riedel Vinum Cognac Hennessy glass. This special stem features a fluted shape, offering a small evaporating surface, which helps to balance the aroma and taste while tempering the alcohol and emphasizing the bouquet. These glasses are made from 24% lead crystal by world-renowed European glassmakers. Each measures 7-1/4 inches high and has a 6-3/4 ounce full capacity.

Amazon.com Review

Renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the liquid within. While many connoisseurs still prefer a large balloon glass for brandy and cognac, Riedel has determined the shape of its cognac glass to be most harmonious. Each glass features a gently rounded yet tall bowl, providing less surface area for evaporation and thus a more delicate aroma. The flared lip helps directs the distilled wine to the proper zone of the palate. Beautifully balanced and with just the right mixture of delicacy and stability, each cognac glass stands 7-1/4 inches tall and holds 6-3/4 ounces at full capacity. The set makes a superb wedding gift or adds to an existing collection for the serious wine and spirits drinker.

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 in 1998. 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

• Produced by world-renowned glassmakers
• 24% lead crystal adds clarity and brilliance
• Hand-washing recommended
• Perfect for bridal or any gift-giving occasion
• Full capacity each glass 6-3/4 ounces

12 of 12 people found the following review helpful All the difference in the world, January 12, 2008 By  Jeff Frane "jefffrane" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Riedel Vinum Cognac Hennessy Glasses, Set of 2 (Kitchen) I've recently been reintroducing myself to brandy, having focused my attention over the last years on wine and whiskies. When I noticed my glassware had a huge hole in it--no brandy snifter--I did some research and discovered that snifters hadn't been taken seriously by cognac lovers for a long time. Too much surface area means too much alcohol in the nose and much of the fruit from the cognac is lost in the burn. The glasses have been every bit as perfect for brandy and cognac as advertised and they are easily the most beautiful glasses in an extensive collection. They're even gorgeous when they're empty (although better with cognac, of course).
