Product Description
Riedel Vinum Wine Glasses make every drop of wine taste its best. Riedel revolutionized glassware by customizing the shape of wine glasses to a particular type of wine. Each wine glass is fine-tuned to direct the flow of the wine onto parts of the palate that will best express the flavors and aromas of a specific wine varietal. The fine crystal offers superb clarity so you can experience the wine's color and texture. Moreover, all machine made Vinum stems are completely dishwasher safe. Made of over 24% leaded crystal. Wines made from the Syrah grape typically exhibit intense aromas blackberries, pepper as well as floral scents. The narrow rim of the Riedel Vinum Rhone / Syrah wine glass directs the flow of wine to the mid-palate, allowing you to experience the wine's silky texture and sensuous fruit flavors, while the tannins flow to the back of the palate for a smooth finish. Recommended for: Amarone, Barbera, Rhone (red). Size: 9-1/4"H, 22-7/8 oz. Riedel Model # 6416/30
Amazon.com Review
Austria's Riedel is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses. Made of 24-percent lead crystal, the Vinum series of glasses are the first machine-made wine glasses to be developed uniquely for each type of wine. Since their introduction in 1986, these wine glasses have had a large influence on the wine culture.p The glasses in this set of six were specifically shaped to highlight the tannins in wines made from the Australian Shiraz variety of grape, such as Amarone, Blaufraenkisch, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Grenache, Hermitage Rouge, Malbec, Mourvedre, Pinotage, Shiraz, and Syrah. The glass shape also provides balance to the intense flavor of this very concentrated wine. Each glass stands 9-1/4 inches high and holds 22-7/8 ounces of wine. I--Cristina Vaamonde/I

Riedel Syrah November 29, 2007
They really add to your wine enjoyment. And the second shippment actually came in one piece. Amazon was real good about the return but they were not package well for shipment.

I often heard about the benefits of using Reidel crystal to enhance the flavor and bouquet of wine, but never tried it until I bought this set. And it is true--I chose a nice bottle of petit syrah wine, but it was even better than usual in the Reidal stemware.br /br /Be prepared--it is a really big piece of stemware.
a fine glass for syrah or shiraz March 2, 2005
The Riedel Vinum series of stemware is very good, and the syrah/Rhone glass is no exception. The size and shape of the bowl really do enhance the bouquets of Chateauneuf de Pape, Cornas, Gigondas, and other southern and northern Rhone wines, as well as Australian or Californian shiraz/syrah based wines. (I've also found it to be quite good for brunellos, and some sangiovese-grosso based super-Tuscans.br /br /The only drawback is having to buy six, which may be more than some people need. If you do a little searching on the web, you'll find that these glasses are available singly from some retailers.br /br /However, that said, this is not a bad glass for everyday use, if you prefer to have just one glass for red wine; I'd probably choose the Spiegelau vino grande magnum bordeaux glass for that purpose, but each to his own.

We currently live in France, a country where wine is etched into the national consciousness. We invited some French friends over to compare Australian and French wines of the same grape varieties (chardonnay, cabernet, merlot), but didn't have enough Riedel glasses to go around. Some of us were consistently rating wines lower - and then we realised that they had the non-Riedel glasses. A quick tour of the table with the same wine in the two types of glass convinced everybody of the merits of this glassware. A TIP ON WASHING: one pain is the need to hand-wash these glasses. A sommelier gave us the tip that to avoid breaking Riedels while washing, do not hold the stem to turn the glass while cleaning it. Hold the whole bowl with one hand, while using a wash cloth with the other.
Nothing else will do.... December 19, 2002

I attended Tulsa Chef Fest 2002 in November and attended a Riedel conducted seminar sampling a series of wines from around the world. I was skeptical but after the seminar I am rabid convert preaching the word. The effect of these glasses on wine is simply amazing. In the subsequent couple of weeks my wife and I purchased several of the Vinum series - "Bordeaux", "Chablis" (Chardonnay), "Sauvignon Blanc" and "Syrah". We will be adding more in time. The Syrah glasses are particular effective at concentrating the nose of the Australian and South African wines we have already enjoyed. Your satisfaction is guaranteed and the price, even at full retail, is worth every penny for the years you will enjoy with this superb glassware.
