The Riedel connoisseur will be surprised to find that this new glass series has something missing - there is no stem or base. So what is "O"? Riedel "O" is the new innovative take on the wine tumbler. In short: "O" is the ideal glass for every day use and every occasion. It is fun, stylish, feels good in your hand and it works! The designs of "O" are based on the benchmark shapes of the Riedel Vinum series. For the first time in glass history the design parameters such as shape of tumbler, size and diameter of rim, have been fine-tuned to enhance the world's most important grape varietals. The tumbler, used for centuries as an all-round drinking vessel, has now been turned into a sophisticated wine accessory. Designed to complement any Reidel glass series, "O" offers an elegant, uncomplicated design in an easy-to-use glass. Broken stems are a thing of the past. Made of machine-made non-leaded glass and completely dishwasher-safe on top rack. In addition to being an ideal tasting glass, this "O" tumbler can also be used for Sake (Japanese Ricewine). In fact, the tumbler is based on the benchmark shape of the Sake Daiginjo glass from the Vinum collection. The glass holds 13.25-oz. and stands 4.12-in. tall. About Riedel's Daiginjo Glass - In November 1997, Riedel was approached by Fukumitsuya Co. Ltd. to develop the ideal glass shape for Japanese sake. This glass was to be created according to Riedel's guiding glass design principle where the content determines the shape. Shortly thereafter, in 1998, Riedel conducted several "glass tastings" in and outside of Japan using different sake varieties. These tastings showed that the sake varieties Junmai and Honjozo and were preferred from a small tulip shaped cup or glass where the aroma component was not to be emphasized too much; but Dainginjo, owing to its very aromatic character, demanded an "egg shape" glass type in order to show its best aroma qualities and a convex shaped rim to balance its sweetness. $ 14.90 |
