Riedel Vinum Wine Glass

The generous bowl is specifically designed to provide a large surface area for full-bodied red wines like Cabernet and Merlot. This allows the wine to breathe and aerate properly, which softens the tannins and opens up the complex aromas.

No, these glasses are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the clarity and integrity of the high-quality crystal, we recommend hand washing them gently with warm water and a mild detergent.

Yes, this glass is crafted from traditional lead crystal. While this material provides exceptional clarity and brilliance, it does mean the glass requires careful handling and hand washing.

While optimized for Cabernet and Merlot, this glass works well for other full-bodied red wines that benefit from aeration, such as Bordeaux blends or Malbec. It is less ideal for delicate wines like Pinot Noir, which typically require a glass with a wider, rounder bowl to capture more subtle aromatics.

A pulled stem means the stem is drawn directly from the bowl of the glass rather than being attached as a separate piece. This creates a seamless, elegant look and generally makes the glass more durable at the connection point.
