Riedel Vinum Bordeaux Grand Cru

These glasses are specifically shaped for full-bodied, complex red wines like Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. The large bowl allows these wines to breathe, softening the tannins and highlighting the fruit notes.

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. However, to prevent clouding or breakage over time, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are spaced properly in the rack so they do not touch other items.

The bowl is quite generous, with a capacity of 35 ounces. It is significantly larger than a standard red wine glass, which is intentional to provide ample surface area for the wine to aerate and release its full bouquet.

While the crystal is fine and elegant, it is precision machine-made for durability. It is designed for everyday enjoyment rather than just special occasions, though it still requires the care you would give any high-quality stemware.

At 10.43 inches tall, these are quite large glasses. We recommend measuring your cabinet shelves before purchasing to ensure they will fit upright, as they may be too tall for some standard kitchen cupboards.

A pulled stem means the stem and the bowl are formed from a single piece of glass rather than being fused together. This creates a seamless, stronger connection that is less prone to snapping at the base of the bowl.
