The Vinum Wine Glass Ranges, by the Riedel company is the first range of glasses to be based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varieties. The Vinum Burgundy Glass excellent for full bodied red wines more than 12.5 percent alcohol with high acidity and moderate tannin.

The VinumChablisGlass suitable for most white wines as it enhances acidity. The Vinum Bordeaux Glass perfect for young, full bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin. This glass smoothes out the rough edges and emphasizing the fruit, allowing wines to achieve a balance that would normally take years of ageing to acquire. The Vinum Chianti Classico Glass tempers the alcohol, accentuates the rich berry and spice characteristics of Chianti, while gently interweavingthe acidity, tannin and fruit to create the perfect balance.
