Riedel Veloce
Best choice for enthusiasts of light-bodied red wines.
These glasses bridge the gap between machine-made consistency and the delicate, thin-walled feel of hand-blown crystal. The unique diamond geometry forces a more nuanced aeration, though you will need to handle their ultralight profile with more care than your standard, heavy-duty stemware.
