Introduced in 1986, Vinum became the first machine-made glass in history to be based on the characteristics of grape varietal. Vinum was not developed on a drawing board, but in tasting work ships based on the performance where the content commands the shape. Vinum is made from lead crystal and machine blown in Bavaria, Germany.

Perfect for young, full-bodied (more than 12 percent alcohol), complex red wines that are high in tannin, this glass smoothes out the rough edges, emphasizing the fruit, allowing wines to achieve a balance that would normally take years of ageing to acquire. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully while the shape directs the flow of wine onto the zone of the tongue which perceives sweetness, thus accentuating the fruit and de-emphasizing the bitter qualities of the tannin. Also recommended for: Bordeaux (red), Cabernet Franc, Rioja, and Tempranillo.
