Shaped for extracting full enjoyment when sipping tequila, the four glasses in this set have narrow bowls on long, slender, stylish stems. Part of the moderately priced Ouverture series offered by world-renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel Crystal (founded in 1756), they're lead-free. That means they're not crystal like Riedel's premium glasses but are machine blown of potash glass and are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedel's exacting standards, so tequila flows easily onto the tongue and flavor is enhanced. Each glass holds 6-3/4 ounces and stands 8-1/4 inches high. --Fred Brack From Riedel, here's the first Official Tequila Glass, designed to highlight the characteristics of Mexico's national drink. Designated the official glass by the Consejo Regulador del Tequila, it holds the finest Reposados, Anejos and Reservas de Casa Tequilas. Part of Riedel's Ouverture collection, this elegant and slender glass was developed at two workshops led by Georg Riedel and attended by over two dozen Tequila producers and officials who, after rounds of tasting, found this glass to be the best suitable shape.
