Riedel Vinum Montrachet Chardonnay Glasses, Set of 4

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 glasses for spirits and cocktails. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

Product Description
Riedel Vinum Wine Glasses make every drop of wine taste its best. Riedel revolutionized glassware by customizing the shape of wine glasses to a particular type of wine. Each wine glass is fine-tuned to direct the flow of the wine onto parts of the palate that will best express the flavors and aromas of a specific wine varietal. The fine crystal offers superb clarity so you can experience the wine's color and texture. Moreover, all machine made Vinum stems are completely dishwasher safe. Made of over 24% leaded crystal. The Riedel Vinum Chardonnay / Montrachet wine glass is ideal for full-bodied, new and old world Chardonnay wines, revealing the intensity and complex layering of the wineâs aromas. Its wide rim directs the flow of the wine over the outer palate to emphasize acidity. This sets off the alcohol and rich flavors of the wine, highlighting the supple texture and ensuring a long, balanced finish. The rounded bowl allows for the rich bouquet to develop a complex range of aromas and nuances.
