Amazon.com Review Guided by the idea that "content commands the shape," Riedel of Austria consistently earns first place among the makers of fine wine glasses. The Vinum series is the world's first line of machine-made glasses formed specifically to suit varietal characteristics. Crafted to exacting standards, the glasses are 24-percent lead crystal with a beautifully balanced feel. They offer the taste-enhancing benefits of Riedel's hand-formed glasses without the top-shelf expense.
A great starter set or housewarming gift, this 9-piece wine set features Vinum Bordeaux and Chianti Classico glasses and a Cabernet decanter. The four Bordeaux glasses are ideal for bringing out the best qualities of high-tannin wines including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The Chianti Classico glass is suitable for medium-body red wines, making it a good choice for serving Zinfandel or Riesling Grand Cru as well as Chianti. The elegant Cabernet decanter, 9-1/8 inches high and 37-5/8 ounces, helps expose wine for aeration as well as dressing up the table. Washing by hand is recommended for the whole set. --Emily Bedard
