About Riedel Vinum Brandy/Cognac Snifter, Set Of 4

Description Product description Sip your favorite beverages in style with this Riedel Vinum Brandy Cognac glass set. Introduced in 1986, Vinum became the first machine-made glass in history to be based on the characteristics of grape varietal. Designed in tasting work shops based on the performance where the content commands the shape, each Vinum glass is made from machine-blown crystal and shaped for each type of wine or beverage. With its specially designed shape to enhance the flavor, this beautiful glass set is the perfect way to enjoy Brandy, Cognac, and other beverages. 6" H, with a 29.675 ounce capacity Amazon.com Austria's Riedel is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses and, with this set of four brandy snifters, the company makes a foray into designing glasses for other beverages. Like the wine glasses in Riedel's Vinum series, these snifters are made of 24-percent lead crystal. The bulbous balloon-style bowl on each glass is specifically shaped for drinkers to cup the bottom and warm the brandy or cognac with one hand. Coupled with the narrower rim on the glass, the bowl is also designed to waft the liquor's aroma to the nose with each sip. Each glass stands 6 inches high and holds a copious 29-5/8 ounces of brandy or cognac; however, it is customary to pour just a few ounces at a time for sipping. --Cristina Vaamonde
