Product Description ------------------- RIEDEL STANDARD- In 1986, Vinum was the first machine-made glass series in history to be shaped by different grape varietals and their characters. The series fundamentally changed global drinking glass culture. Functional, high-quality, reasonably priced and manufactured in large batches, it has convinced consumers and restauranteurs worldwide that enjoyment of wine begins with the right glass. The Vinum collection, which was developed by Georg Riedel according to the principle "content determines the form", is the most inexpensive "Vitrum-Vinothek" for everyday use. Offering a larger volume, the Vinum Montrachet glass reveals the intensity and the wine's layers of aroma. The size of the enables the rich bouquet to develop its wonderfully diverse range of aromas, emphasizing the finesse, while minimizing the risk of it becoming over-concentrated. .com ---- Renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the wine within. The Montrachet/Chardonnay glass is unusually oversized and rounded for a white wine glass in order to let the intense aromas of rich Montrachets and Chardonnays fully develop. Beautifully balanced and with just the right mixture of delicacy and stability, each thin-stemmed glass stands 7-3/8 inches tall and holds a generous 21-1/8 ounces. This set of two Montrachet glasses makes a superb wedding gift or adds to an existing collection for the serious wine drinker. Comprised of more than 24 percent lead crystal for superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum stems and cocktail glasses are nevertheless affordable because they are machine-made rather than mouth-blown. Riedel introduced the popular Vinum line in 1986, and this particular glass in 2000. While all Vinum glassware is dishwasher-safe, Riedel recommends washing the crystal by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri
