Product description Sip in style with this Riedel Vinum Single Malt Whiskey glass set. Introduced in 1986, Vinum became the first machine-made glass in history to be based on the characteristics of grape varietal. Designed in tasting work shops based on the performance where the content commands the shape, each Vinum glass is made from machine-blown crystal and shaped for each type of wine or beverage. The Vinum series has since branched into the bar and spirits glasses for the ultimate home bar experience. This set’s design incorporates a small, slightly outturned lip which directs the spirit onto the tip of the tongue, where sweetness is perceived, and serves to emphasize the elegant creaminess of top quality single malt whisky. With its specially designed shape to enhance the aged whiskey flavors, this beautiful glass set is the perfect way to enjoy single malt and other whiskeys. 2-1/2 diameter x 4-1/2 H, with a 7 ounce capacity Amazon.com If you tend to echo the words of actor Joe Don Baker in Mitchell --when asked, How do you like your Scotch? he replied, By the quart--then the Riedel Vinum series single malt whiskey glass may not be your cup of Teaninich. Not so for fans of small-batch Bourbons and other nonblended whiskies: with its flared lip and wide tulip-shaped bowl atop the circular base, this vessel is designed to direct its contents to flavor-friendly areas of the mouth and nose. The underlying theory of all Riedel stemware states that the tongue is divided into four zones, each recognizing either sweetness, bitterness, saltiness, or acidity; by changing the size and shape of the glass, Riedel can accentuate wine's and spirits' positives while mitigating negatives. Unlike the traditional brandy snifter, which concentrates the alcoholic vapors and burns out the shnoz, the lip of the single malt glass disperses them, allowing you to enjoy the subtleties, whether your drink be Speyburn or sour mash. --Tony Mason.

Product Description VINUM EXTREME is the evolution of the machine-blown pleasure glass concept that began with the mouth-blown Sommeliers series in 1973. Since the quality of wine is constantly improving there is a need to develop forms that do justice to the denser, more concentrated wines, which are closer to perfection. With its glasses, Riedel has given wine a way to optimally transmit its aroma and flavor to the senses of the connoisseur. The revolutionary innovations that have been developed by Riedel over the years in the interaction between the shape of the glass and enjoyment of the wine are common knowledge today, meaning that wine lovers and connoisseurs naturally expect these features in a wine-friendly glass. Our customers across the globe are convinced that only a Riedel glass conveys the sensuousness of the wine. It is therefore essential to offer high-quality, wine-friendly glasses on the market in different price brackets. Linked with this, the development of new shapes that are adapted to the wine, such as Vinum Extreme, is a must! Elegant design for a unique and pleasurable wine-drinking experience: the machine-blown Cabernet glass from the Vinum Extreme series - a wine experience for all your senses Amazon.com Made in Europe by the world's most renowned wine-glass maker Riedel Crystal, founded in 1756, the four large glasses in this set are ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and full-bodied red Bordeaux wines like Cabernet Franc. The glasses are from Riedel's Vinum Extreme series, which are distinguished by their bowls' dramatically flared diamond shape. The glasses provide an exceptionally wide evaporation surface, thereby intensifying wines' bouquet and silky texture. The glasses are machine-blown of 24 percent lead crystal and conform to Riedel's exacting standards: colorless, transparent, and thin-walled, with lips cut and polished so wine flows smoothly onto the tongue. These glasses are 9-3/4 inches high and hold 30-3/8 ounces. Though glasses shaped and sized for different types of wine seem commonplace today, when Riedel introduced this idea in 1961 it was revolutionary. Since then Riedel has continued fine-tuning glasses to bring out the best characteristics in wines and spirits. Varying bowls' shapes and sizes affects the position of the head when sipping and where wine first contacts the tongue's various taste zones. Riedel crystal is used by fine restaurants all over the world and thus must stand up to frequent trips through a dishwasher. But because lead crystal has a soft, coarse surface to convey intense aromas, Riedel recommends the glasses be hand washed. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer A Glass Is Not Just a Glass The Content Determines the Shape Riedel's belief when it comes to develop a shape is that design ideas are not born on a drawing board but shaped by trial and error with the help and support of the worlds greatest palates. A person interested in wine is led by color, bouquet, and taste. He often does not consider the glass--used as an instrument to convey the message of the wine. Over the years we have acquired some interesting scientific explanations as to why the shape of a glass so influences the bouquet and taste of alcoholic beverages. The first discovery was made while enjoying wine. The same wine seemed completely different, when served in a variety of glasses--so much so that experienced connoisseurs were made to believe that they were tasting a different wine. In the next step, Riedel was able to determine shapes in which the wine seemed to improve. The grape variety is the key factor determining the relationship between fruit, acidity, tannin, and alcohol in wine. We started to recognize the complicated role played by size and shape in conveying the message of a fine wine. The Influence of Size and Shape on Alcoholic Beverages Bouquet The quality and intensity of aromas are determined by the personality of a wine and the relative affinity of the glass shape. Bouquet can only develop in a range of temperatures. Low temperatures temper the intensity, whereas high temperatures push mainly alcoholic fumes. When describing the importance of the glass shape we assume that the right serving sizes (white wine: 2-3 ounces; red wine: 3-5 ounces) and temperatures are respected. When wine is poured out, it starts to evaporate and the aromas quickly fill the glass in layers according to their density and specific gravity. The lightest vapors are at the rim, the heaviest on the bottom. Consequently the size and the shape of the glass can be fine-tuned to the typical aromas of a grape variety: The lightest, most fragile aromas are those which resemble flower and fruit aromas. Slender, egg-shaped glasses emphasize this kind of aroma. The lightest, most fragile aromas are those which resemble flower and fruit aromas. Slender, egg-shaped glasses emphasize this kind of aroma. The middle is filled with green vegetal aromas and earthy mineral components. The middle is filled with green vegetal aromas and earthy mineral components. The heaviest aromas are those of wood and alcohol. When swirling the glass, the wine moistens additional surface which increases the evaporation and intensity of the aromas. However, it does not allow layers of bouquet to blend together. It is for this reason that the different qualities of aroma noted in a variety of glasses are amazing. (The same wine may have fruit aromas in one glass and green and vegetal herbiness in another). To eliminate this effect, you would have to move the layers vertically and shake the glass. Only then would you discover the same bouquet in all glasses! Experienced tasters rely on their olfactory talents more than their palates to determine the provenance of the sample or the grape variety in blind tastings. Very large glasses with a capacity of more than 25 ounces allow you to sniff through the layers of bouquet by inhaling extremely gently and consistently for more than ten seconds. You can smell through the fruit aromas to the alcohol fumes. Palate We cannot dictate firm rules over personal preferences, though our advice may provide valuable guidelines. Years of experience have shown that 90 percent of wine lovers approve of the suggestions made by Riedel. Physical movements and adjustments are controlled subconsciously. The shape of the glass forces the head to position itself in such a way that you drink and do not spill. Wide open glass shapes require us to sip by lowering the head. Narrow rims roll the head backwards and the liquid flows because of gravity. This delivers and positions the beverage to different zones of the palate. Drinking in big sips to quench the thirst will diminish the influence of the vessel, and only the aftertaste will offer flavor. Alcoholic beverages are consumed according to their strength in small to very small quantities at a time. This gives the chance to control the flow where the beverage contacts the tongue. The resulting nerve message is delivered at a speed of 400 m/sec to our brain where it leaves a lasting first impression. In most cases we would be disappointed if the sweet fruit flavors were lacking, and tart components dominated the taste picture. If this occurs, the blame is usually put on the quality of the wine but never on the shape of the glass. Shape Every wine has its own blend--fruit, acidity, mineral, tannin, alcohol--based on the grape variety, soil, and climate. By studying the character of the grape variety Riedel is able to deliver wine and spirits to the nose and palate so that each beverage can reach its full expression. The finish plays an important part in the overall impression and even this is strongly influenced by the design of the bowl.It will take time to recognize that a glass is not just a glass but an instrument of pleasure and enjoyment. Key Factors in Selecting a Wine Glass Type A wine glass should be: Colorless Transparent Unadorned Thin-walled With a cut and polished lip Egg-shaped Stemmed Made of lead crystal Size The size of a glass is important, showing the quality and intensity of aromas. The evaporation space has to be chosen according to the personality of the wine or spirit. It is best to respect the appropriate serving quantities: Approximately three ounces for white wine Four up to a maximum of five ounces for red wine One ounce for spirits. General RulesRed wines and their character require large glasses, White wines medium-sized glasses, and Spirits small ones in order to emphasize the fruit character and not the alcohol. Shape Riedels belief: The content determines the shape The glasses are designed to emphasize a wines harmony, not its faults. Riedel has always viewed the wine glass as an instrument to bring together: Personality of the wine Smell Taste The sense of sight To appreciate fully the personality of different grape varieties and the subtle character of wines, it is essential to have an appropriately fine-tuned glass shape. The shape is responsible for the flow of the wine and consequently where it touches the various taste zones of the tongue. The initial contact point depends on the shape and volume of the glass, the diameter of the rim, and its finish (whether it is cut and polished or rolled edge) as well as the thickness of the crystal. As you put your wine glass to your lips, your taste buds are on the alert. Once the tongue is in contact with the wine three messages are transmitted at the same time: temperature, texture, and taste. Wine is composed of different elements: fruit, acidity, mineral components, tannin, and alcohol. The combination between the sense of smell and taste leads into the wonderful world of flavor. Taking Care of Riedel Stemware As Riedel glasses are executed in the finest lead crystal, it is important to pay attention to their correct care. The surface is coarser than ordinary glass, which has the advantage of conveying more intense aromas. On the other hand the surface is softer, more delicate, easily scratched, and quickly absorbs environmental odors such as a cardboard smell or the wood of your cupboard. As our glasses have a large surface, this intensifies the effect. If the glasses are not used frequently, nose them before serving. Hand Washing Do not be afraid when washing your glasses by hand. Depending on how greasy the glasses are, use more or less detergent in lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly afterwards under running water. Before polishing your glasses, steam them over a bowl of boiling water for that extra sparkle. The best way to polish your Riedels is to use lint-free linen that has been washed without a fabric softener--the softener leaves a light film of grease which kills the bubbles in champagne. When wiping, use two cloths and both hands--your left hand to hold the bowl, your right hand to wipe it. Do not force the cloth into the bowl, otherwise the thin walls will not hold the pressure. The disadvantage of holding the glass by the base while wiping the bowl is that you twist the stem which may break. The heaviest aromas are those of wood and alcohol.

On the other hand the surface is softer, more delicate, easily scratched, and quickly absorbs environmental odors such as a cardboard smell or the wood of your cupboard. As our glasses have a large surface, this intensifies the effect. If the glasses are not used frequently, nose them before serving. Hand Washing Do not be afraid when washing your glasses by hand. Depending on how greasy the glasses are, use more or less detergent in lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly afterwards under running water. Before polishing your glasses, steam them over a bowl of boiling water for that extra sparkle. The best way to polish your Riedels is to use lint-free linen that has been washed without a fabric softener--the softener leaves a light film of grease which kills the bubbles in champagne. When wiping, use two cloths and both hands--your left hand to hold the bowl, your right hand to wipe it. Do not force the cloth into the bowl, otherwise the thin walls will not hold the pressure. The disadvantage of holding the glass by the base while wiping the bowl is that you twist the stem which may break. See more.
