This is the only glass that I will drink wine from… It just somehow make the wine taste better…
Having tried the Vinum line for years, and then more recently the Extreme line (love them) and the Vitis line, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I wanted some really large Bordeaux glasses. What you should expect is a larger version of the classic Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glass. They’re simply that, as opposed to the Extreme glass which is differently shaped and as tall but with a different ratio between the size of the bowl and the length of the stem. These have a relative bowl to stem ratio that is similar to the regular Vinum Bordeaux glass but blown up in size.
If one cares, I have 2 of these, 2 of the Cab Extremes and 2 of the Vitis Cabs from Riedel. In addition to the regular Vinum Bordeauxs, of course. I bought these to drink my really big, cellared cabs.
Finally, if you’re reading this review, you’re already a fan of Riedel, I presume, so I don’t have to go into why fine glasses like these *do* make a difference in how your wine tastes. If people are interested, the biggest difference I’ve found is when I drink a great pinot out of the Riedel Oregon pinot glasses (which have a curved rim, Riedel calls them the XL Pinot Vinum) – oh, are those glasses beautiful! They are a finer, thinner glass too, similar to the one found in the Riedel Cabernet decanters.
We wanted the largest red wine glasses we could get for a special wine. These seems to be the largest easily available. For the right wine they do great things. They are Riedel Vinum quality. We are completely satisfied.
Bought this as a gift for a friend. She always says the bigger the better and these Riedels are huge! You can pour an entire bottle into one of these glasses. Not an everyday glass, but adds a nice novelty to a table setting. Great quality from Riedel. – [...]
