Introduced in 1986, Vinum was the first machine-made series of glasses in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varietels. Vinum, functional, high in quality, reasonably priced and widely distributed, has had a permanent impact on the globe's wine glass culture. These glasses have proved to consumers and restaurateurs that the pleasure of consuming wine starts with the glass. The Vinum collection, was developed by Riedel on the principle that the content commands the shape, is the Vitrum-Vinothek" for every day use. Vinum is made of over 24% lead crystal.
