Product Description
This Riedel Vinum Bordeaux stemware set is an amazing value at 8 glasses for the price of 6. The glasses in this set of eight were specifically shaped to highlight the fruit in full-bodied red wines with high levels of tannin, such as Bordeaux, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, and Tempranillo. The design of the Bordeaux bowl directs the wine to the area of the palate that perceives sweetness, emphasizing the fruit and mellowing the acidity or any rough edges, while the large bowls provide room for the wine's rich bouquet to unfold. Each glass stands 8-7/8 inches high. Riedel is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses. Made of lead crystal, the Vinum glasses are Riedel's most popular series and were the first machine-made wine glasses to be developed uniquely for each type of wine. Since their introduction in 1986, these wine glasses have had a large influence on the wine culture, and wine lovers around the globe.

Amazon.com Product Description
Starting with the idea that a glass’ contents should determine its shape, Riedel created the Vinum stemware line to enhance the specific qualities of different types of wine. This concept is now well appreciated throughout the wine world, but Riedel Vinum is the pioneering example and one much loved for its combination of elegance and affordability. Machine-blown for consistency and crafted from 24 percent lead crystal, the glasses are clear, brilliant, and lovely. In action, their polished rims let wine flow smoothly, and their shape and sizing work together to direct wine to the ideal part of the palette.
One of the Vinum originals introduced in 1986, the Bordeaux glass is designed for full-bodied reds such as Bordeaux, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, and Tempranillo. Standing 8-7/8 inches high, it holds 21-1/2 ounces and should be washed by hand. This set includes eight Bordeaux stems for the usual price of six--an exceptional value to match the glass’ exceptional quality.

Wine just tastes better!5
No better glass to enjoy fine wine. Standard in the industry. Quite fragile, however. Fine in dishwasher, but space widely and use product specific support device.
