Product Description
A perfect addition to your Riedel collection, these Riedel Vinum Extreme Chardonnay glasses are designed specifically for wines such as Chardonnay, White Burgundy, Montrachet and Meursault. The Extreme line, most known for their larger, more dramatic diamond shaped bowls, provide an even larger surface area, exposing the wine to more oxygen and allowing it to fully open up, resulting in heightened performance, and further enhanced drinking experience for those using them. The Riedel Vinum Extreme collection was designed in response to the continued improvement in the quality of wines being produced today. As wines have become more dense, concentrated and perfected, so has the call for new glass shapes. The Extreme line is machine-made of 24% lead crystal.

Amazon.com Review
Renowned European glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the wine within. To meet the demand of today's increasingly more concentrated wines, Riedel developed the Vinum Extreme line, which features a pronounced diamond shaped bowl. Unusually broad for a white wine glass, standing 9-1/8 inches tall and holding 27-1/2 ounces at full capacity, each Vinum Extreme glass in this set of two is designed specifically for the enjoyment of Chardonnay. At the same time, the modern diamond shape looks distinctly snazzier than typical wine stems.
Though Vinum Extreme glasses are machine-made to be affordable, the glasses consist of 24 percent lead crystal for exceptional clarity and brilliance. The Chardonnay glasses make a handsome gift or add to an existing collection. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum Extreme crystal is best washed by hand to prevent the detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

Great glasses!5
I was in a tasting room in the Russian River Valley when I first got to use these glasses -- it was love at first sight. I already have the full line of Riedel Sommelier glasses, but these are a little less pretentious and a lot more fun for a casual occasion.
