Riedel Vinum Champagne Cuvee Prestige 6416/48 - 2 pcs.

A champagne house's finest cuvée deserves more than a standard flute. Riedel Vinum Champagne Cuvee Prestige is the tall, slender sibling to the regular champagne glass in the line, drawn for bubbles that need a little extra time to unfold.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Vinum Champagne Cuvee Prestige is a machine-blown Champagne Glass in Crystal Glass from the Austrian glassmaking house Riedel, designed specifically for prestige cuvées and other complex sparkling wines.

The glass belongs to the Vinum line, which Georg J. Riedel drew up in 1986. A prestige cuvée is a champagne house's finest bottle, blended from its best grapes and often its best vintages - and the glass was drawn to give that extra complexity room.

Design & Material

The shape resembles the regular Vinum Champagne glass, but is taller and slightly narrower in the bowl, which holds onto the fizz a little longer while still leaving enough room for the more complex aromas of a top cuvée to develop.

Use & Recommendation

Use the glass for prestige cuvées, vintage champagne and other sparkling wines where the complexity deserves a little extra attention. It is dishwasher safe and can go straight into the dishwasher.
