The Riedel Vinum Bordeaux 2-pack is machine-blown lead-crystal stemware, cut for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot-based reds. Two glasses, sold empty.
From the Producer
Riedel is an eleventh-generation Austrian glassmaking family based in Kufstein, and the house that started grape-specific stemware. Claus Riedel's insight in the 1950s was that bowl shape changes how a wine presents; his son Georg turned it into the Vinum series in 1986, the first machine-blown lead-crystal range built around individual grape varieties. The Bordeaux bowl is the tall, broad-shouldered one, designed for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends.
Use & Features
- Bowl shape: Tall and broad-shouldered, which directs Cabernet and Merlot aromatics up the glass and lands the wine where the tannin reads as structure rather than grip.
- Material: Machine-blown lead crystal — the Vinum series was the first grape-specific range Riedel made this way.
- Contents: Two glasses per pack. Sold empty — no wine included.
Best For
Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Bordeaux-blend reds from anywhere; dinner service and gifting alongside a serious bottle. Sold as an accessory — no wine included.
