Riedel continues to impress the wine world with its innovative designs. The Tyrol line, released in 2007, adopts an intermediary position between the completely stemless O wine tumblers that set a national trend and Riedel's long-stemmed, more fragile beauties. Each Tyrol glass features a short stem, more of a foot really, that is half of a solid sphere, lending great stability and reducing breakage worries. Crafted of sparkling leaded crystal yet dishwasher-safe, Tyrol is perfect for a casual, more contemporary approach to fine dining at home.

This set includes two Tyrol Champagne glasses, each a six-inch slender column holding a maximum capacity of seven ounces. An excellent gift set for a new or celebrating couple, the pair of glasses is designed to bring out the best attributes of French Champagne, Italian prosecco, and other refreshing sparkling wines that celebrate life's special moments. Out of a long 250-year history, the renowned Riedel glass company has been based in the Austrian state of Tyrol for 50 years now, hence the commemorative name of the new collection. --Ann Bieri Casual and elegant, this Riedel Tyrol Champagne glass is part of a brand new glass series introduced in Spring 2007. This glass stands on a solid half sphere, offering amazing light reflection, while each bowl is developed for the enjoyment of popular beverages. The Tyrol series is made of lead crystal, which lends itself to a solid base with great stability, while giving it never ending sparkle. The name Tyrol commemorates the Riedel Family's new beginning 50 years ago in Austria in the federal state of Tyrol. These versatile glasses come in a set of 2 and are designed to highlight the fine qualities of Champagne or any sparkling wine.
