Description
This glass directs the flow of wine onto the zone of the tongue which perceives sweetness, thereby highlighting the rich fruit and tempering the high acidity of the wine. The large bowl captures all the nuances of the wine's aroma.
NOTE: Although this glass is quite differently shaped from the equivalent Sommeliers glass, the Burgundy Grand Cru (4400/16), both designs are as effective in bringing out the character of the wine because they control the flow of the wine onto the palate in the same manner.
Fine Crystal, Machine-Made. All Riedel glasses are dishwasher proof according to DIN EN 12857-1/2:2005.
Ideal for the following grapes:
Barbaresco, Barolo, Beaujolais Grand Cru, Blauburgunder, Burgundy (red), Echezeaux, Gamay, Moulin-A-Vent, Musigny, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir (Pinot Nero), Pommard, Romanee St. Vivant, Santenay, Volnay, Vosne-Romanee, Vougeot
VINUM (1986) became the first machine-made glass in history to be based on the characteristics of grape varietal. VINUM was not developed on a drawing board, but in tasting work shops based on the performance where the content commands the shape. The pleasure of enjoying fine wine starts with the right glass. VINUM is executed in fine crystal, machine blown in Bavaria, Germany.

Riedel has been producing hand-blown wine glasses since the 1950's, but what has distinguished them from other manufacturers is their discovery In 1973 that the bouquet, taste, balance, and finish of wines is affected by the shape of the glass from which the wine is drank from. With this knowledge Riedel has produced many different shapes of wine glasses to best highlight the different characteristics of different types of wine, and today offers over 150 different wine glasses and wine products to best showcase your wine.
