Riedel Vinum Extreme Icewine/Dessert Wine Glass, Set of 2

Riedel developed the Vinum Extreme line to meet the demand of today's increasingly more concentrated wines. Though produced in Bavaria of more than 24 percent lead crystal, which lends superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum Extreme glasses are affordable because they are machine-made rather than mouth-blown. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum Extreme crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri
