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.Click Here to see more reviews about: Riedel Vinum, Set of 6 plus 2 Bonus Glasses
Product Description:
Starting with the idea that a glass' contents should determine its shape, Riedel created the Vinum stemware line to enhance the specific qualities of different types of wine. This concept is now well appreciated throughout the wine world, but Riedel Vinum is the pioneering example and one much loved for its combination of elegance and affordability. Machine-blown for consistency and crafted from 24 percent lead crystal, the glasses are clear, brilliant, and lovely. In action, their polished rims let wine flow smoothly, and their shape and sizing work together to direct wine to the ideal part of the palette.
One of the Vinum originals introduced in 1986, the Bordeaux glass is designed for full-bodied reds such as Bordeaux, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, and Tempranillo. Standing 8-7/8 inches high, it holds 21-1/2 ounces and should be washed by hand. This set includes eight Bordeaux stems for the usual price of six--an exceptional value to match the glass' exceptional quality.
