Product Description
Claus Riedel changed the world of wine with his revolutionary concept of functional stemware. He was the first designer to recognize that the bouquet, taste, balance and finish of wines are affected by the shape of the glass from which they are drunk. Introduced in 1989, ?Ouverture? is Riedel?s uncomplicated beginner series for customers who appreciate good, reasonably priced wine glasses. Ideal for everyday use and available in several convenient sizes, Ouverture glasses offer perfectly shaped wine glasses for your drinking pleasure, at competitive prices. Ouverture glasses are made from quality lead free glass. 8 1/2 in. - 9 1/8 oz
Amazon.com Review
Perfect for everyday use, the four champagne glasses in this set are part of the moderately priced Ouverture series offered by world-renowned Austrian wineglass maker Riedel Crystal (founded in 1756). Being lead-free, they're not crystal, like Riedel's premium glasses but are machine blown of potash glass and are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedel's exacting standards, so wine flows easily onto the tongue. Each glass holds 9-1/8 ounces and stands 8-1/2 inches high. Though glasses shaped and sized for different types of wine seem commonplace today, when Riedel introduced this idea in 1961, it was revolutionary. Since then Riedel has continued fine-tuning glasses to bring out the best characteristics in wines and spirits. Varying bowls' shapes and sizes affects the position of the head when sipping and where wine first contacts the tongue's various taste zones. --Fred Brack

Exquisite simplicity... a Must-Have January 27, 2008
R. Rim (Austin, TX USA)
Riedel's Ouverture Champagne Glasses are perfect for those who are on a budget but yet know what it means to appreciate not only the drink, but also its presentation. Exceptionally clear, sturdier than most other champagne glasses, and classically simple in contour... all while you save your money for the champagne!
