Product Description
Riedel Vitis Champagne Glass, Set of 2: Kitchen & Dining. Brilliant and beautifully balanced, Vitis crystal comes in a handsome Riedel box and makes a superb gift for the wine connoisseur or for anyone starting or adding to a wine glass collection. Vitis stands tall in the Riedel stable, literally. These glasses are the tallest made by the renowned and continually innovative glassware company. Introduced in spring 2007, Vitis (which means vine inch in Latin) is a bold, oversized extension of Riedel's Vinum Extreme collection, designed with a modern diamond-shape bowl. Both are machine-made of full-lead crystal, but Vitis stems go a step further-they are pulled from a single piece of glass, resulting in a spectacular fluidity. The bowl actually extends down into the tapered stem in a tear-drop fashion, which means the wine itself creates the lower point of the diamond. Riedel designs the shape of each glass to enhance the wine within. The narrow diamond shape of the Vitis Champagne flute, with its generous 11-1/4-ounce capacity, enables the even release of bubbles in any sparkling wine and captures the aromatic bouquet. In addition, the 10-1/4-inch height of the two flutes in this set adds a sense of drama to toasting a special event. To preserve the clarity of the crystal and avoid stem breakage, the Champagne flutes are best washed by hand.
