Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel O Pinot Noir/Burgundy/Nebbiolo Wine Tumblers, Set of 2Customer Review: Great Glassware Summary: 5 Stars
These are essentially the bowls from the professional quality Riedel Vinum glasses produced without stems. By doing without stems you get a glass that neatly fits in the dishwasher, and save about $10 per glass compared to the stemmed Riedel. I have been using Reidel O series for several years and they are fabulous. Since they are genuine crystal as opposed to glass, they develop the bouquet much better (due to microscopic "pores" that regular glass lacks). They really gleam, right out of the dishwasher. Best of all, the rims are thin and smooth, which is the luxury feel that premium glassware is all about.
If you are wondering which to buy as an "all purpose" red glass, I prefer the syrah/shiraz glass over the cabernet/merlot or the pinot noir/nebbiolo, even though I drink mostly cabernet. The syrah glass is just a bit taller and more graceful than the cabernet or the pinot noir glasses and brings out the flavors and aromas of all red varietals quite well. But honestly, since all the glasses are well made, the differences are pretty minor and if you like one shape more than another, it's fine.
I have been a wine "nut" for over 20 years, and these glasses are teriffic. Buy them, and feel safe using them daily. They will improve the enjoyment of every wine you drink, from Gallo to Lafite
Description of Riedel O Pinot Noir/Burgundy/Nebbiolo Wine Tumblers, Set of 2Designed by 11th generation, Maximilian Riedel, these Riedel O Pinot Noir/Nebbilio tumblers are reminiscent of the Vinum bowls, only without the stem. Trendy and sophisticated, these tumblers will perform much like Riedel's preceding wineglass creations, but will also fit easily into the dishwasher or cupboard without the worries of breaking the stem. For those who would like to experience the concept of matching the shape of the glass to the grape without the traditional stemmed glass, these Riedel O wine tumblers are the answer! Founded in 1756, Austria?s Riedel Crystal is the world?s premier manufacturer of wine glasses and has always catered to the fine wine connoisseur. However, these wine tumblers are part of the company?s first attempt at producing a lower priced wine glass for casual entertaining. Like Riedel?s prestigious Vinum series of glasses, these tumblers are specifically designed for a particular grape varietal and still maintain their ability to enhance the flavors and aromas of the wines they were intended for. The only difference is that the tumblers are missing their stems, making them slightly less delicate to handle, more modern in appearance, and easier to fit in smaller cabinets, mini bars, picnic baskets, and the dishwasher. The O series of glasses are made of machine-made of non-leaded glass. The shape of the two glasses in this set is specifically recommended for full-bodied red wines, such as Pinot or Nebbiolo. Each glass holds 23-7/8 ounces of wine, stands 4-1/2 inches tall, and is completely dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde
