Riedel Vinum Cabernet/Bordeaux

Introduced in 1986, Vinum was the first machine-made series of glasses in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of quality, reasonable price and wide distribution. The Vinum collection, developed by Georg Riedel on the principle that the content commands the shape, is the “Vitrum-Vinothek” for every day use. Vinum is made of over 24% lead crystal. Perfect for young, full bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannins. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully. The shape directs the flow of wine onto the zone of the tongue which perceives sweetness, thus accentuating the fruit and de-emphasizing the bitterness of the tannins. Additional Vinum glass styles can be purchased by calling 800-565-2816.
