find more information or buy Riedel Ouverture Magnum Glasses, Set of 4 Average Amazon Customer Rating:  Amazon.com Review Perfect for everyday use, the four extra-large red-wine 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, theyre not crystal like Riedels premium glasses but are machine blown of potash glass and are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedels exacting standards, so wine flows easily onto the tongue. Each glass holds 18-5/8 ounces and stands 7-7/8 inches high, and their large bowls help release a wines aroma, concentrating it in the narrower tops for full enjoyment. 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 tongues various taste zones. --Fred Brack . . .Read More  4 extra-large glasses shaped for serving red wines  Machine-blown of lead-free potash glass  Cut-and-polished rims so wine flows easily onto tongue  Each holds 18-5/8 ounces, stands 7-7/8 inches high  Made in Austria by world renowned wine-glass maker
