Exquisite wine glasses especially suited to the crisp, dry white wines produced from the Sauvignon Blanc grape.
Introduced by George Riedel in 1986, Vinum is Riedel’s first series of fine wine glasses meant to be universally accessible. Vinum wine glasses are machine-blown from 24% lead-crystal and are designed around the principle that the shape of the glass determines the character of the wine.
The Riedel family has been making fine glassware since 1756. Riedel utilizes state-of-the-art technology and intensive research and testing to produce the most sophisticated wine glasses on the market. Riedel glasses are precisely designed to enhance both the body and the nose of a wine, allowing you the most accurate experience of a wine’s character. “The Finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel.” - The Wine Advocate

I definitely found that the glass does enhance the flavours of the wine. I also love the feel & shape of the glass. I'm really glad I bought them and will be buying more for the other grape varieties. I couldn't fault the service & delivery from Kitchenware Direct. I received my order in record time and it was very well packed - thank you.

These are fabulous!
I was previously sceptical about these glasses but in a side by side taste test using an everyday wine glass, the wine definitely tastes better from the riedel glass. These were bought for a friend who was ecstatic to receive them. Thanks Kitchenware Direct, great service too!
