Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Vinum XL 4-Piece Cabernet and "O" Viognier Glass Set
Customer Review: Bowls on a stem
Summary: 5 Stars
My girlfriend and I fondly refer to these fine Riedel pieces as our "wine bowls," as their volume more closely resembles that of a bowl rather than a glass. At a whopping 37 (and change) fluid ounces (not 33 as some sources online are citing), they can hold nearly 1.5 bottles of wine in a single glass.
My first experience with these glasses was at Hill Family Estate tasting room in Napa. My buddy and I sat down for a tasting with their standard (not Riedel) glasses and got to talking about how much larger glasses really bring out the bouquet in big reds. Then our hostess brought out these large Riedel glasses, and I thought to myself, "holy crap, those are the biggest glasses I've seen in my life." They made an immediate difference in the experience of tasting the exact same wines. We continued to do a side-by-side glass comparison for the remainder of the tasting.
When I got home I immediately started doing some research on big red wine glasses, and came across the Vinum XL. These are the biggest machine-blown glasses they offer. Unfortunately, they do contain lead (24%) which I have been trying to avoid with my drink ware. The largest non-leaded crystal glasses I've come across were the Spiegelau Grandissimo, at 27 fl ounces. I already had a cabinet full of ~22 ounces glasses, so this didn't seem like a big enough jump for me. I ended up getting a pair of these Vinum XLs.
So far, so good. They are a lot of fun to drink out of, and I look forward to showing these off to guests who also take an interest in wine.
Description of Riedel Vinum XL 4-Piece Cabernet and "O" Viognier Glass Set
Is this a bargain, or what? A great way to start a new collection of Riedel or augment your existing assortment at home, this new bonus pack gets you 2 Vinum XL Cabernet and 2 Viognier "O" tumblers for the price of the 2 Vinum XL glasses. The Riedel Vinum XL Cabernet glass excels in flawlessly blending together the wine's aromas and flavors, bringing to light brilliant concentration, while harmonizing the intense sweet dark red fruit, integrating the tannins and masking the alcohol. The trendy and sophisticated "O" tumblers will perform much like Riedel's preceding wineglass creations, but will also fit easily into the dishwasher or cupboard without the worries of breaking the stem. For those who would like to experience the concept of matching the shape of the glass to the grape without the traditional stemmed glassWine Glasses
