Product Description
A mini version of Riedel’s popular Cabernet Decanter, this new size is perfect for decanting a small amount of wine. Decanting allows the wine to open up and “breathe”, resulting in an elevated drinking experience. What a great way to have your guests feeling special; throw a dinner party and provide this mini decanter at each placesetting!Amazon.com Review
All Riedel glassware is designed especially for a particular wine, and this mini-decanter is Cabernet friendly. Simply a smaller version of Riedel’s 37-ounce Cabernet decanter, this one works well for holding a couple glasses from a full bottle–say, for those evenings alone with a good book. Exhibiting the modern diamond look of Riedel’s Vinum Extreme line, the decanter makes a good match for those Cab glasses.
Decanting–pouring the contents of a bottle of wine into a serving container–enhances the appreciation of the wine by increasing its contact with oxygen, basically the same process as swirling wine in a glass to release its bouquet. Decanting allows older as well as young wines to fully open up and “breathe.” Because the decanter is machine-made and therefore affordable, more than one can be kept on hand to give each guest his or her own. The mini decanter stands 6-1/4 inches tall and holds 15-3/4 ounces, and should be washed by hand. –Ann Bieri

Its elegant shape feels good to hold, looks trendy and it works – making it an ideal decanter for every day use and for every occasion.This stylish decanter makes an ideal gift for others or for yourself!Check out our complete range of Riedel decanters and glassware. 9-1/8 inches h. – 37.5 ozAmazon.com Review
Made in Austria by the world’s most-renowned wineglass maker (Riedel Crystal, founded in 1756), this decanter allows sediment to settle, clarifying any older red wine. Even with a young, sediment-free wine, the decanter makes a beautiful serving vessel by displaying the wine’s color. It’s machine blown of brilliant 24 percent lead crystal and conforms to Riedel’s exacting standards: colorless, transparent, and thin-walled. It holds 37-1/8 ounces, ample for a 750-milliliter bottle of wine, and measures 9 inches high. Its graceful, outwardly curved neck provides a secure grip when pouring. Riedel crystal is used by fine restaurants all over the world and thus must stand up to frequent trips through a dishwasher. But because lead crystal has a soft, coarse surface to convey intense aromas, Riedel recommends the decanter be hand washed. –Fred Brack

Product Description
Gorgeous and elegant, this Riedel Vitis Cabernet glass is part of the brand new series launched in Spring 2007. Vitis, meaning ‘vine’ in Latin, is Riedel’s tallest machine-made lead crystal glass, and the pinnacle of modern stemmed-glass technology featuring highly sophisticated grape varietal-specific bowls on a pulled stem. These lead crystal Cabernet glasses stand 10-1/4 inches tall and come in a set of 2. They are designed to highlight the fine qualities of rich, full-bodied red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot.Amazon.com Review
Vitis stands tall in the Riedel stable, literally. These glasses are the tallest made by the renowned and continually innovative glassware company. Introduced in spring 2007, Vitis (which means “vine” in Latin) is a bold, oversized extension of Riedel’s Vinum Extreme collection, designed with a modern diamond-shape bowl. Both are machine-made of full-lead crystal, but Vitis stems go a step further-they are pulled from a single piece of glass, resulting in a spectacular fluidity. The bowl actually extends down into the tapered stem in a tear-drop fashion, which means the wine itself creates the lower point of the diamond.
Riedel designs the shape and size of each glass to enhance a particular variety of wine. The impressive 28-1/4-ounce capacity of the Vitis Cabernet glass provides a wide surface area for the appreciation of such full-bodied red wines as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In addition, the 10-1/4-inch height adds to the sophisticated feel of the two brilliant and beautifully balanced glasses in the set. Vitis crystal comes in a handsome Riedel box and makes a superb gift for the wine connoisseur or for anyone starting or adding to a wine glass collection. To preserve the clarity of the crystal and avoid stem breakage, the glasses are best washed by hand. –Ann Bieri
