Sip in style with this set of four Riedel wine glasses. Riedel's Wine collection was created for customers who feel that plain stemware on a well laid table is just not decorative enough. It combines a light catching, decorative stem and Vinum's most popular bowl shapes. Each glass is expertly balanced and very sturdy. The "Wine" collection is appropriate for everyday use and is ideal for all users who are expanding their wine palate with exploration of many wines from many regions of the world. With this fine collection of glasses, Riedel achieves what the essence of wine and other beverage drinking is all about: enjoyment. Perfect for everyday use, the four Viognier/Chardonnay glasses are made by the world-renowned German wineglass maker Riedel Crystal and are recommended for Bordeaux (white), Burgundy (white), Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Condrieu, Hermitage Blanc, Marsanne, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Sauternes, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier.
Though glasses shaped and sized for different types of wine seem commonplace today, when Riedel introduced this idea in 1961, it was revolutionary. Since then Riedel has continued fine-tuning glasses to bring out the best characteristics in wines and spirits. Varying bowls' shapes and sizes affects the position of the head when sipping and where wine first contacts the tongue's various taste zones. This set of four glasses arrives boxed and makes an excellent gift.
