Handmade of mouth-blown full-lead crystal, this wine glass is from Riedel's top-of-the-line Sommeliers collection and is for those who take their wine seriously. Describing this glass as huge is an understatement: At 16 inches tall, the glass, when placed on the floor, stands just below the knee of a person of average height. The bowl is about the size of a cantaloupe and has a capacity of 109 ounces (over four full bottles of wine). Rather than simply be a conversation piece for collectors, this glass is meant to be used and, despite its gigantic size, the glass's 1-1/2-pound weight and exquisite balance make drinking from it manageable. The Bordeaux Grand Cru glass was developed in 1959 to enhance the flavor of younger Bordeaux region wines. The glass shape is specifically intended to intensify the texture and blend the acidity with the sweet tannins in wines such as Red Bordeaux, Brunello di Montalcino, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Sangiovese Grosso, and Tempranillo. The large bowl brings out the depth of contemporary wines in the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot families and allows room for rich layers of aroma to unfold in both young and more mature wines. --Cristina Vaamonde * *Sales package content and specifications may vary and might change without notification.
