Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Tyrol Cabernet Glass, Set of 2
Customer Review: Everyday stemware, but you still need to be careful
Summary: 3 Stars
We got some of these after my wife knocked over a wine glass on the table. She didn't break the glass(!), but there was wine all over lots of things that shouldn't have wine on them. She wanted to get something for frequent use that wouldn't be as difficult to knock over.
We looked at these and the "O" glasses, but thought that these would be easier to handle. In those regards, these glasses fill the bill. Nevertheless, in terms of being good for everyday use, they are still quite breakable crystal (versus Tritan or something like that). In my view, the perfect "everyday" stemware would be shaped like this, but would be a little thicker at the top and/or made of a different material.
As for tasting your wine, the pictures show the shape well enough. Versus other shorter stemware (except for the "O"), I feel that it is of adequate/optimum size for a good tasting experience. But I certainly don't fancy myself as an expert on that count.
As we break them (which we already have), I'll purchase more unless a Tritan or similar comes out in this same shape.
Description of Riedel Tyrol Cabernet Glass, Set of 2
Casual and elegant, this Riedel Tyrol Cabernet glass is part of a brand new glass series introduced in Spring 2007. This glass stands on a solid half sphere, offering amazing light reflection, while each bowl is developed for the enjoyment of popular grape varieties and beverages. The Tyrol series is made of lead crystal, which lends itself to a solid base with great stability, while giving it never ending sparkle. The name Tyrol commemorates the Riedel Family's new beginning 50 years ago in Austria in the federal state of Tyrol. These glasses come in a set of 2 and are designed to enhance the enjoyment of full-bodied red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot.Riedel continues to impress the wine world with its innovative designs. The Tyrol line, released in 2007, adopts an intermediary position between the completely stemless O wine tumblers that set a national trend and Riedel's long-stemmed, more fragile beauties. Each Tyrol glass features a short stem, more of a foot really, that is half of a solid sphere, lending great stability and reducing breakage worries. Crafted in Bavaria of sparkling leaded crystal yet dishwasher-safe, Tyrol is perfect for a casual, more contemporary approach to fine dining at home.
This set includes two Tyrol Cabernet glasses, the second largest in volume of the entire collection (only the Shiraz glass is larger). Each Cabernet glass holds a maximum capacity of 24-1/8 ounces and stands 6-1/8 inches tall. While designed to bring out the best attributes of full-bodied red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the glasses also work excellently for beer and soft drinks. Out of a long 250-year history, the renowned Riedel glass company has been based in the Austrian state of Tyrol for 50 years now, hence the commemorative name of the new collection. --Ann Bieri
