makes every wine better everyday
We bought these glasses to use for day to day use since they are dishwasher safe, but still have a very nice shape to compliment light to medium reds and whites. Some full bodied Zinfandels (cabs) would probably require a larger glass to reach full potential.
A smaller red wine glass is great.
The Vinum collection is stylish in a practical way. It works for any occassion, formal, informal, casual, etc.
Riedel glasses do make a difference in your enjoyment of wine. Perform your own taste tests...pour two glasses of wine, one in a Riedel and one in your normal glass. Smell the difference, swirl the difference, taste the difference. You'll be convinced, too.
The only knock, is boy are these things FRAGILE...
At the end of the day, the enjoyment you get from this product, the enjoyment you get from your wine...makes the necessary exercising of caution so very much worthwhile.
As a lover of Italian wines, the Chianti glasses are a nice addition to my stemware collection. The design is elegant and the price is reasonable. This would also make a nice gift.
Riedel's Vinum Collection is much sturdier than their Wine Collection.
