Riedel Vinum Champagne/Prestige Cuvee Glasses, Set of 6 Review

Riedel Vinum Champagne/Prestige Cuvee Glasses, Set of 6

After we bought a pair of these to replace some older Champagne flutes, one use sent us running back to the store to stock up - it's now the only stem we use. The shape is classic, elegant and has a nice weight - balancing delicacy with just enough sturdiness to feel reassuring. We've found that with some other stemware we've owned, our guests feel a little hesitant to handle the slender stem. I know from experience that hand-washing makes me pretty nervous after snapping the stem off some fine but too-delicate pieces. These, on the other hand, have just the right heft without sacrificing any of their "crystal" character.
The best part of all is that every glass creates a little ring of bubbles at the surface right in the middle of the glass (when it sits still for a moment). Apparently they've designed the glass to do just that. We also find that with richer, more aromatic Champagnes these glasses do a very good job of showcasing the nose of the wine.

Champagne Saver & Pourer Review

Champagne Saver and Pourer

While one of the other reviewers states that it only works on some types of champagne bottles, I couldn't get it to work at all. I tried it on two different shapes of bottles, but to no avail. The problem is that the ring that is supposed to slide down the neck to secure the stopper doesn't slide when it's on the bottle. When off the bottle, the mechanism works fine. It appears to me that the stopper must be made for a specific bottle and not for most champagne bottles in general. At least that was my experience. I found a good $3.00 stopper at Sur la Table that works just fine and is not dependent on the shape of the champagne bottle. It doesn't have the fancy pour spout, but at least it keeps the bubbles in the champagne.

Champagne saver is designed to keep the bubbles and minimize oxidation; once locked on to the bottle, the handle opens to allow perfect non drip pouring
