Introduced
in 1986, Vinum was the first machine-made series of glasses
in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics
of quality, reasonably price and wide distribution.
Vinum has had a permanent impact on the globe's wine glass
culture.
These glasses have proved to consumers and restaurateurs
that the pleasure of consuming wine starts with the glass.
The Vinum collection,
developed by Georg Riedel on the principle that the content
commands the shape, is the “Vitrum-Vinothek” for every day
use.
Vinum is made of over 24% lead crystal. |
The
designs of “ O ” are based on the benchmark shapes of Riedel
Vinum. For the first time in glass history the design parameters
such as shape of tumbler, size and diameter of rim, have
been fine turned to enhance the world's most important grape
varietals. “ O ” is available as: Cabernet/ Merlot, Pinot/Nebbiolo,
Syrah/Shiraz, Chardonnay, Viognier/Chardonnay, Riesling/Sauvignon.
The tumbler, used for centuries as an all-round drinking
vessel, is now turned into a sophisticated wine accessory.
Maximilian Riedel has created something brand new with “
O ” without losing sight of his “roots”. |
