Product note
A box of four glasses
Glass size: 37cl
This glass is shaped and sized to highlight all the wonderful nuances and complexity exhibited in Zinfandel, Chianti and Riesling.

Producer note: Riedel
"The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make." (Robert M.Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate).
Introduced in 1986, Vinum was the first machine-made series of glasses in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of quality, reasonably price and wide distribution. Vinum has had a permanent impact on the globe’s wine glass culture.
These glasses have proved to consumers that the pleasure of consuming wine starts with the glass. The Vinum collection, developed by Georg Riedel on the principle that the content commands the shape, is the "Vitrum-Vinothek" for every day use. Vinum is made of over 24% lead crystal.
Maximilian Riedel (11th generation) presents his first glass series with the 'O' glassware. The Riedel connoisseur will be surprised to find that this new glass series has something missing – there is no stem or base.
Riedel "O" is the new innovative take on the wine tumbler. "O" is the ideal glass for every day use and for every occasion. It is fun, feels good to hold, looks trendy and it works! The designs of "O" are based on the benchmark shapes of Riedel Vinum.

Le Fleuron, 2005, Heritage (Dr Dargham Elias Touma), £7.5 Lebanon, Red
Best in class - IWSC 2008 Unoaked blend that's terrific value for money, with great class and some power on the palate. Can be enjoyed with/without food and perfect for now (next vintage will be 2008 as the '06 & '07 were all sold to other countries)
Pink Floyd Rose, 2009, Chateau Miraval, £12.99 France, Rose
Part of the album "The Wall" was recorded at Miraval's own recording studios, thus the name. Grapes are bled for for 3 hours only to give a pale pink colour, with delicate fruit flavours. Very refreshing with a long-lasting taste. Medaille d'Or Paris 2010
The Aviator, 2002, Alpha Domus, £28.5 New Zealand, Red
The Berry Box, 2008, Edgebaston, £9.99 South Africa, Red
The War of the Rose, 2009, Battle of Bosworth, £11.5 Australia, Rose
"Sous La Velle" Meursault, 2007, Mestre-Michelot, £25.5 France, White
Amarone, 2005, Allegrini, £45.99 Italy, Red
