VINUM EXTREME ICEWINE/DESSERT - (box of 2)

Perfect for sweeter dessert wines, this Riedel Vinum Extreme icewine glass features an elegant narrow bowl on a tall stem. Gorgeous and elegant, these Extreme glasses are designed with a diamond-shaped silhouette, distinguishing this collection with a more modern look and generous bowl size. Packed in a set of 2, the glasses stand 8-7/8 inches tall, with a full capacity of 10 ounces.

Renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the wine within. Crafted in the modern diamond shape of Riedel's Vinum Extreme line, this elegantly tall glass highlights the sweet aspects of icewine (made from grapes frozen on the vine) and other dessert wines. Beautifully balanced and with just the right mixture of delicacy and stability, the set of two makes a handsome gift or adds to an existing collection for the budding oenophile. Each long-stemmed icewine glass stands 8-7/8 inches tall and holds 10 ounces at full capacity.

Riedel developed the Vinum Extreme line to meet the demand of today's increasingly more concentrated wines. Though produced in Bavaria of crystal, which lends superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum Extreme glasses are affordable because they are machine-made rather than mouth-blown. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum Extreme crystal is best washed by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect wine taste.

Caring for your RIEDEL Crystal

• RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe. RIEDEL exclusively recommends MIELE
• To avoid stains: use soft water (low mineral content)
• To avoid scratches: Avoid glass contact with other glass or metal
• To remove stains: use white vinegar
• If available use a stemware rack

If washing by hand

• Wash the glass under warm water (use detergent and rinse the glass carefully)
• Glass polishing: Use two polishing cloths, never hold the glass by the base to polish the bowl
• Stem snap: Occurs through mishandling = torque or bend pressure at the stem
• Storage: Avoid glass storage in kitchen cabinets which have strong aromas that translates into glass

Microfiber Polishing Cloth

• Wash at boiling temperature (to kill bacteria) with odorless soap
• Should be machine washed at min. 170° F/75° C
• Never use fabric softener when rinsing your microfiber polishing cloth (avoids grease film on surface)
