Riedel Vinum Extreme Chardonnay Wine Glass, Set of 4
Founded in 1756, Europe's Riedel Crystal is the world's  premier manufacturer of wine glasses. The Vinum Extreme series of  glasses are machine-made of diamond-shaped 24-percent lead crystal.  These glass shapes, with a unique angular look, dramatic oversized  bowls, and extra-tall stems, were introduced in 1986 to support the  increasingly dense consistency of wines. The design provides an  exceptionally wide evaporation surface, thereby intensifying a wine's  bouquet and silky texture.The glasses in this set of four are specifically recommended to enhance  the taste of wines such as Chardonnay, White Burgundy,  Corton-Charlemagne, Montrachet, and Meursault. The large bowl provides  room for the wine's rich bouquet to unfold without becoming too  intense. Each glass stands 9-1/8 inches high with a 4-1/2-inch wide  bowl and holds 27-1/2 ounces of wine.--Cristina Vaamonde
