Riedel Vinum Viognier/Chardonnay Glasses, Set of 2

Great glasses which brings out the full flavor and aroma.

Most prefer not to admit it but you can serve ordinary wine in a beautiful glass and guests will think it's wonderful. Serve beautiful wine in an ordinary glass and the wine will taste ordinary too. (It works on yourself too. I know you don't believe that :) Durable and sturdy? Not so much. They weren't made to be durable and sturdy. They were made to be beautiful.

Look good, but don's knock one on the floor.

Ideal size for Chardonnay. Typical Riedel elegant stem and bowl.

Best packaging in the industry

I purchased ‘used’ open box at a reduced price and had them sent to a different address, as a gift. I was worried about the delivery and presentation but the recipient reported no issues and made a nice gift. The original box was still intact. So maybe I was lucky but have faith, it’s possible to get through mail. As for quality, the brand is my fav, and you should’ve seen the recipients old glasses.

We own several of the Chablis/Chardonnay Vinum glasses, and I was trying to replace a broken glass. The Chablis/Chardonnay glasses are no longer shown on the Riedel website, only the Viognier/Chardonnay model. An Amazon reviewer stated the the two glasses were identical. They are not. The Chablis version has a wider bowl than the Viognier version. The difference is small, but obvious. There are still Chablis/Chardonnay glasses available in the 8-pack if this is important to you. Since we use these glasses for Chardonnay, I would have preferred the somewhat wider bowl.

one glass broke from a set of eight; what to do? Bless Amazon, the Reidel glasses I ordered (2) match the seven others, even though the varietal bame was not exactly the same.

Excellently packaged including informative and entertainingly written Reidel box and leaflet. I was replacing a broken glass originally received as a gift many years ago, but the price for 2 was good value. Very happy with my purchase they are a pleasure to use.

今まで使用していたものを１個割ってしまったためリピートです。ガラスは薄く繊細です。そのため口当たりが非常によく同じワインでもほかのグラスと比べ物になりません。ワインの種類によっていろいろと揃えてみるのもよいです。

Verres achetés pour compléter une série, tout à fait conformes.

さすが高級感がありますね。 このグラスでワインを飲むと不思議と優雅な気分になれます

Well I guess the header says it all really. This purchase was to replace another broken glass but this time it was due to an indelicate guests handling! I generally experience breakages through washing and am trying out the fact Riedel reccomend the delicte setting on my dishwasher. So far so good. Shame about the price though.
