Riedel - Vinum is Riedel's basic varietal-specific stemmed series. Designed in 1986 by 10th-generation glassmaker Georg J. Riedel, Vinum was created to ensure every wine lover could afford varietal-specific glassware. Based on the handmade Sommelier's range, machine production means Vinum can be offered at a more accessible price.The Shiraz glass is perfect for balancing the gripping tannins and concentrated fruit typical of medium-bodied red wines.This shape was developed between 1993 and 1995 following sensory workshops in major Shiraz growing regions and has become the most versatile red wine shape in the Riedel range. With a slightly tapered opening, the large bowl develops intense aromas and demonstrates mouth-filling fruit, a dignified structure, and a long, sweet finish on the palate.
