Riedel Wine Tumbler O Spirits / Fortified Wine 0414/60 - 2 pcs.

A glass of Port or a well-aged Sherry after dinner doesn't need big gestures or an oversized glass. It needs a small, concentrated glass that gathers the sweet, powerful aroma without pouring too much at once.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Wine Tumbler O Spirits / Fortified Wine 0414/60 is a small glass in crystal glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, shaped without a stem for fortified wines and spirits with high alcohol strength.

The glass is one of the smallest in The O range, which suits the more concentrated drinks it's made for. The compact bowl holds onto the aroma, while the stemless base makes the glass comfortable to cup in your hand when the contents are warmed slightly, as is often done with Port and Sherry.

Design & Materials

The bowl is small and close-fitting, concentrating the aromas of the sweet, powerful drink rather than letting them dissipate in an oversized glass. The glass is machine-blown in crystal glass and stemless, so it sits securely in the hand, even when used from an armchair after dinner.

Use & Recommendation

The glass is designed for fortified wines such as Port, Sherry and Madeira, as well as spirits drunk in smaller measures at a time. It is dishwasher safe, making it practical for the daily after-dinner digestif.
