The glasses in this set of eight were specifically shaped to highlight the fruit in full-bodied red wines with high levels of tannin, such as Bordeaux, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, and Tempranillo. The design of the Bordeaux bowl directs the wine to the area of the palate that perceives sweetness, emphasizing the fruit and mellowing the acidity or any rough edges, while the large bowls provide room for the wine's rich bouquet to unfold. Each glass stands 8-7/8 inches high. Riedel is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses. Made of lead crystal, the Vinum glasses are Riedel's most popular series and were the first machine-made wine glasses to be developed uniquely for each type of wine. Since their introduction in 1986, these wine glasses have had a large influence on the wine culture, and wine lovers around the globe. | | | Features: | |

 Lovely feel, and makes wine taste better, ButFeb 11, 2010
By Frank T. Steele
Lovely feel, and makes wine taste better, But, man are they fragile. If you want the EXACT same shape (maybe a little thicker crystal in some places) try the Schott Zwiesel Forte's. The Bordeaux is exactly like the Vinum Bordeaux, but cheaper and a LOT more sturdy.

 makes a differenceDec 03, 2010

If you enjoy good wine then you must try Riedel glasses for the appropriate type wine you are drinking. They do make a difference. This is a special deal since you get 8 glasses for the price of 6! Not everyone is lucky enough not to break a glass at some time.

We are adding to our assortment of glassware and have become spoiled to using a better glass as well as making sure we offer this to our friends. It does matter what wine glass you use and you will not be disappointed with this Riedel glass. Enjoy!

Wine just tastes better!Jan 13, 2009
By S. Muir
No better glass to enjoy fine wine. Standard in the industry. Quite fragile, however. Fine in dishwasher, but space widely and use product specific support device.

What A BarginSep 12, 2010
By J. O. Greeson
Buy six and get eight, this is a deal. I am not happy with thick wine glasses and these are thin enough to make the grade.
