The Riedel Vinum gift set comes complete with six of Riedel's most popular Vinum Burgundy Crystal glasses and the Syrah glass decanter all in one gift box. The Germany-made Riedel Vinum glasses consist of 24-percent lead crystal for distinctive clarity and brilliance. Each long-stemmed glass stands 8-1/4 inches tall and holds a generous 24-3/4 ounces at full capacity. Riedel introduced the popular Vinum line in 1986. This glass smooths out the rough edges, emphasizing the fruit, allowing wines to achieve a balance that would normally take years of aging to acquire. 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 bitter qualities of the tannin. Vinum crystal should be washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. The Syrah decanter is a generous 49-3/8 ounce capacity and stands 9-5/8 inch tall. Made from non-lead glass, this decenter is the perfect accompaniment to the set of Six Vinum glasses. Nobody knows Wine like Riedel from stemware to decanters, Riedel crystal is prized for it's quality and the way it enhances the enjoyment of fine beverages.
