  Riedel Vinum Porto 6416/60 - 2 pcs.

  Item no.: 22227865489-18-6416-60

  A glass is never just a glass. The shape of the bowl decides where in the mouth the liquid lands first, and therefore how sweetness, acidity and alcohol are perceived - the Austrian glassmaking family Riedel has built its entire craft around that idea since 1756.

  Expert's Description

  Riedel Vinum Port 6416/60 is a set of 2 Port glasses from the Austrian glass manufacturer Riedel, designed specifically to highlight the fruit, sweetness and depth of Port wine.

  The glass belongs to Riedel's Vinum series, launched in 1986 as the world's first machine-made glass collection with grape- and wine-style-specific shapes. Where Riedel's handmade Sommeliers series requires mouth-blowing, machine production in the Vinum series makes it possible to offer the same precise shaping to a far wider circle of wine lovers. This Port model has a softly rounded, egg-shaped bowl that concentrates the aromas toward the nose while directing the liquid toward the palate's sweet spots, softening the sharpness of the alcohol.

  The glass is made from lead-free crystal, fire-polished for a clear, scratch-free finish, and the wide base provides stability and reduces the risk of tipping. The set comes with 2 glasses, ready for the table alongside the year's best bottle of Port.

  Did You Know?

  It was the ninth generation of the Riedel family, Claus J. Riedel, who in the late 1950s first proved that the shape of a glass can change the perceived taste of the very same wine - a discovery that has since underpinned the entire industry of grape-specific wine glasses, the Vinum series included.
