Product Description
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.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. 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

Product Description
Casual and elegant, this Riedel Tyrol Pinot Noir glass is part of a brand new glass series introduced in Spring 2007. This glass stands on a solid half sphere, offering amazing light reflection, while each bowl is developed for the enjoyment of popular grape varieties and beverages. The Tyrol series is made of lead crystal, which lends itself to a solid base with great stability, while giving it never ending sparkle. The name Tyrol commemorates the Riedel Family’s new beginning 50 years ago in Austria in the federal state of Tyrol. These glasses come in a set of 2 and are designed to enhance the enjoyment of medium-bodied red wines such as Pinot Noir, Barbaresco, Barolo, Nebbiolo, and red Burgundy.Amazon.com Review
Riedel continues to impress the wine world with its innovative designs. The Tyrol line, released in 2007, adopts an intermediary position between the completely stemless O wine tumblers that set a national trend and Riedel’s long-stemmed, more fragile beauties. Each Tyrol glass features a short stem, more of a foot really, that is half of a solid sphere, lending great stability and reducing breakage worries. Crafted in Bavaria of sparkling leaded crystal yet dishwasher-safe, Tyrol is perfect for a casual, more contemporary approach to fine dining at home.
This set includes two Tyrol Pinot Noir glasses, each with a maximum capacity of 24 ounces and measuring 5-1/2 inches in height. Riedel designed the shape and size of the glass to bring out the best attributes of medium-bodied red wines such as Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, and Burgundy. The pair makes an excellent gift. Out of a long 250-year history, the renowned Riedel glass company has been based in the Austrian state of Tyrol for 50 years now, hence the commemorative name of the new collection. –Ann Bieri

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

Product Description
Designed by 11th generation, Maximilian Riedel, these Riedel O Pinot Noir/Nebbilio tumblers are reminiscent of the Vinum bowls, only without the stem. Trendy and sophisticated, these tumblers will perform much like Riedel’s preceding wineglass creations, but will also fit easily into the dishwasher or cupboard without the worries of breaking the stem. For those who would like to experience the concept of matching the shape of the glass to the grape without the traditional stemmed glass, these Riedel O wine tumblers are the answer!Amazon.com
Founded in 1756, Austria’s Riedel Crystal is the world’s premier manufacturer of wine glasses and has always catered to the fine wine connoisseur. However, these wine tumblers are part of the company’s first attempt at producing a lower priced wine glass for casual entertaining. Like Riedel’s prestigious Vinum series of glasses, these tumblers are specifically designed for a particular grape varietal and still maintain their ability to enhance the flavors and aromas of the wines they were intended for. The only difference is that the tumblers are missing their stems, making them slightly less delicate to handle, more modern in appearance, and easier to fit in smaller cabinets, mini bars, picnic baskets, and the dishwasher.
The O series of glasses are made of machine-made of non-leaded glass. The shape of the two glasses in this set is specifically recommended for full-bodied red wines, such as Pinot or Nebbiolo. Each glass holds 23-7/8 ounces of wine, stands 4-1/2 inches tall, and is completely dishwasher-safe. –Cristina Vaamonde

One of Riedel’s most popular stems, these Vinum Burgundy/Pinot Noir wine glasses are designed to enhance the flavors of full-bodied red wines with high acidity and moderate tannin, such as Pinot Noir, Barbaresco, Barolo, Barbera, Red Burgundy, Gamay, and Nebbiolo. Introduced in 1986, the Riedel Vinum line was the first machine-made series of glasses in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varietals. The Vinum series has had a strong and permanent impact on the wine glass culture around the globe. These glasses have proven to consumers and restauranteurs that the pleasure of consuming wines starts with the glass. Developed by 10th generation Georg Riedel on the principle that the contents commands the shape, Vinum is great for everyday use. These glasses are made with over 24% lead crystal.Amazon.com Review
The Vinum collection from renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel gives serious wine drinkers an extensive choice of moderately priced crystal, each glass designed especially to enhance a particular wine. The Burgundy glass is large and rounded to allow the bouquet of a red wine to flourish. Not just any red wine, but reds high in acidity with moderate tannin levels, such as Red Burgundy and Pinot Noir. The glass helps offset the acidity of the wine by directing it right to the zone on the tongue that registers sweetness. This set of four Vinum glasses will nicely augment an existing wine glass collection or start a budding oenophile on building one. Each beautifully balanced glass stands 8-1/4 inches tall and holds 24-3/4 ounces.
Though comprised of more than 24 percent lead crystal, which lends superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum glasses are affordable because they are machine-made. In fact, Vinum is the first machine-made line dedicated to Riedel’s philosophy of shaping and sizing a glass to suit the wine within. In addition to wine stems, the Vinum collection also includes cocktail glasses. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. –Ann Bieri

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 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
