These Cabernet/Bordeaux glasses each have a slender, four-edged stem and three delicate ridges that encircle the base and the top of the stem and catch the light to make a beautiful presentation on a holiday table. The bowl shape follows the philosophy of Riedel’s Vinum line of glasses, where each glass is uniquely developed for each type of wine. The glasses in this set of eight were specifically shaped to serve red wines, such as Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Meritage, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Rioja Sangiovese, Tempranillo, and Brunello di Montalcino. Each glass stands 9-1/4 inches high and holds 21-1/2 ounces of wine. --Cristina Vaamonde Crafted from premium lead-free glass, Riedel's Wine Series is an attractive and functional line of wineglasses, featuring the most popular bowl shapes of the more expensive Vinum collection. The glasses are machine-made in Europe by renowned glassmakers and feature a faceted stem with tiered decorations at the top and base. The thin rims are cut and polished so that wine flows smoothly onto the palate, and the bowl shapes emphasize bouquet. This set of two glasses is designed to highlight the flavors and aromas of Cabernet Suavignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, red Bordeaux, Rioja, and Tempranillo.

Riedel Vinum Extreme Sauvignon Blanc Glasses, Set of 2

Riedel Vinum Extreme Sauvignon Blanc Glasses, Set of 2 Review



Riedel Vinum Extreme Sauvignon Blanc Glasses, Set of 2 Feature

  • Produced by world-renowned European glassmakers
  • 24% lead crystal adds clarity and brilliance
  • Hand-washing recommended
  • Perfect for bridal or any gift-giving occasion
  • Dishwasher-safe, but washing by hand recommended
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. Slender and graceful, the two Vinum Extreme glasses in this set are designed especially to give capture the aromas of whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Pinot Blanc, and Riesling. 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 nonetheless consist of 24 percent lead crystal for distinctive clarity and brilliance. Each Sauvignon Blanc glass stands 9-1/2 inches tall and holds 16-1/4 ounces at full capacity, and as part of a set makes a handsome wedding gift or augments an existing collection. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum Extreme crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri A perfect addition to your Riedel collection, these Riedel Vinum Extreme Sauvignon Blanc glasses are designed specifically for medium-bodied white wines such as white Bordeaux, Hermitage Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon-Semillon, and Viognier. 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.
