RIEDEL - THE WINE GLASS COMPANY is well-known for developing grape varietal-specific stemware. RIEDEL Crystal was the first in history to recognise that the shape of the vessel from which a beverage is taken affects the flavour and aroma of the beverage, and has been recognised for its revolutionary designs complementing alcoholic beverages and other liquids.
Vinum is RIEDEL's basic varietal specific stemmed series. Designed in 1986 by 10th generation glassmaker Georg J. Riedel, Vinum was created to ensure every wine lover could afford varietal-specific glassware. Based on the handmade Sommeliers range, machine production means Vinum can be offered at a more accessible price.
This item is premium machine-made.
“PREMIUM” defines the advantage of a machine blown RIEDEL glass vs. a hand-made glass. The difference lies within the precision.
All Riedel glasses are dishwasher safe.
