Riedel Vinum 7-Piece Gift Set
This set makes a superb gift as well as an excellent introduction to Riedel's acclaimed Vinum series. Included are six Vinum Zinfandel wineglasses with Riedel's Syrah decanter. Made in Germany of 24% lead-crystal, the versatile Zinfandel glasses are shaped and proportioned for medium-bodied red wines - but can also serve dry, aromatic white wines admirably. The elegant decanter enhances the flavor and bouquet of red wines, young or old. Made of lead-free glass and finished by hand, it has a beautifully rounded bowl and a pouring spout designed to minimize drips. Glasses, dishwasher safe, 13-oz. cap., 8 1/4" high; Syrah Decanter, hand-wash, 49.3-oz. cap., 9 1/2" high. Seven-piece set.

I have only used this set a few times, but they have a wonderful bulb and allow the wine to breathe well. High quality item, will buy more.

Great Gift Item
October 12, 2009
I purchased the Riedel Vinum 7 Piece Gift Set for my sister as a house warming gift. This set is only available at Williams and Sonoma and is a perfect selection for red wine fans - and all at a great price.
You get the quality of Riedel and cachet of Williams and Sonoma in one gift - you can't go wrong with this selection.

wine glasses
July 26, 2009
Good glasses, not too big, not too garish. perfect for all types of wine. At first I thought the decanter was unwarranted, but now I like it a lot. It adds a little bit of elegance to an otherwise typical evening. I even decant my champaign now.

Don't mess with Champagne!!!
To the poster on whose review I'm commenting: glad you like your Riedel Vinum set. (I don't own it but have Vinum glasses for Montrachet/Chardonnay, Burgundy/Barolo/Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon, plus several others by other manufacturers and numerous Champagne flutes). BUT, I nearly did a spit-take on my keyboard when you declared "now I can decant my champaign (sic)"). GOOD GRIEF--DON'T DO THAT!!! Champagne (as opposed to the variant spelling that denotes the home city of the U. of IL) is delicate as all get-out. Don't jostle the bottle (especially if it's vintage and getting up there in age). Don't even swirl it in your glass (a flute, I hope, certainly not those flat little coupes that are better for sherbet). And don't decant it! First of all, it doesn't need it. If there's sediment, pour it very carefully straight into the glass, stopping before the dregs start to migrate to the bottle neck. Otherwise, the reason to decant--i.e., aeration--is utterly unnecessary with bubbly, which by its very nature aerates itself. Don't do anything that would interfere with those lovely little bubbles making their way upward toward the rim. Decant your young reds & whites (I'd use a Vinturi rather than a decanter for the whites) to aerate and soften tannins, decant your older reds and ports to make sure no sediment reaches the glass. The only thing to do with any sparkling wine is to let it do its bubbly thing and ENJOY!

Excellent Housewarming/Christmas Gift
January 8, 2009
My son and daughter-in-law just moved into a new house and since this set was on sale, I purchased it and had it shipped directly to them in MA. It was promptly shipped and they received it and seem to really like the set.

Superb Value and Introduction to Riedel
January 1, 2009
This set is worthy of purchase on value alone. One of the Vinium Zin glasses is worth 28$ and with six in the box plus 50$ decanter; hello. Fetch up a set and enjoy wine in the highly versatile glass. The decanter is simple and all one should ever need...

VERY thin glass
November 26, 2008
My first impression upon unpacking the pieces was how delicately thin the glass was. Seems as if a tiny bump or even squeezing the glass too hard would break it. Hasn't happened yet, but was enough to make me consider returning them. The decanter glass is so thin it has almost a plastic feel to it. I'd prefer more heft....

beautiful glassware
September 5, 2008
The glasses are lovely and feel good in your hand. They are light and graceful. My only problem with them is that they are easily broken unless one follows the instructions for cleaning. We broke the stem on a glass when we held the stem while polishing the bowl. This was specifically cautioned against in the accompanying instructions so should not detract from their purchase.

Great Gift Idea
September 4, 2008
We had been thinking about purchasing Riedel wine glasses after using and purchasing several at different wineries.
This box set with a decanter was a perfect starter and great gift idea.
