Review of Riedel Vinum Glass, Buy 3, Get 4 Bonus Set

These are the best large crystal glasses I could find for less than $25 per glass. The sound they make when you touch glasses is one of the best things about drinking wine. Riedel calls them "Syrah" glasses but they also work well for white Burgundies, for Provencal Roses, and for red Bordeaux. Riedel also makes a Vinum glass which they call "Bordeaux." The difference between the Syrah glass and the Bordeaux glass is the width of the aperture at the rim. The diameter of the Syrah's rim is slightly smaller than the diameter of the Bordeaux's rim. The smaller aperture concentrates the bouquet for whatever wine is in the glass. The Syrah glass also swirls wine more effectively than the Bordeaux glass. You will have to spend in excess of $40 per glass to buy better glasses than these. Most wine shops and kitchen stores have the Syrah glass for sale in the $25 to $30 range, so buying them from Amazon makes sense. Shipping is not a problem. The glasses arrive in a well-designed cardboard packing box. If you like to travel with good wine glasses, you can re-ship the glasses in the box or stow the box in the trunk of your car with your luggage. The only negative aspect of the Syrah glasses is that you have to wash them separately from other glasses and, when you dry them, you have to be careful not to snap off the stems. I dry mine with paper towels. This exerts less pressure on the bowl which reduces the chances of snapping off the stem.
