Riedel Vinum Syrah Glasses, Set of 2
Renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the wine within. The Syrah glass is tall and deep to capture the luscious fruity aroma of dark purple Syrah, or Shiraz, as it's known in Australia, and to highlight the tannins. Beautifully balanced and with just the right mixture of delicacy and stability, each glass stands 9-1/4 inches tall and holds 22-7/8 ounces. This set of two 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 wine 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 1995. 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
