Riedel Vinum Pinot Noir/Burgundy Glasses

The generous balloon shape is specifically engineered for lighter-bodied red wines like Pinot Noir and Burgundy. It provides ample surface area for the wine to breathe, which helps capture and concentrate delicate aromatics while softening the acidity.

These glasses are designed to be dishwasher safe, making them practical for regular use. However, to maintain their clarity and prevent potential breakage, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring they are spaced properly in the rack.

Machine-blown glass offers a high degree of precision and consistency, ensuring that every glass in the set has the exact same rim thickness and bowl shape. While they lack the unique variations of hand-blown pieces, they are generally more durable and uniform, making them an excellent choice for everyday enjoyment.

While optimized for Pinot Noir and Burgundy, the wide bowl is also excellent for other aromatic red wines that benefit from aeration. It works well for any wine where you want to highlight fruit-forward notes and balance acidity, though it may be too wide for very tannic, full-bodied wines like Cabernet Sauvignon.

These glasses are made from crystalline, which is a lead-free glass material known for its clarity and brilliance. It is more durable than traditional lead crystal, though it remains a fine glassware product that should be handled with standard care.
