Riedel Vinum Cognac Hennessy Set of 2 #7657
Riedel Vinum Cognac Hennessy Set of 2 (P/N 6416/71). Diverging from the traditional balloon-shaped Cognac glass, Riedel has worked with wine experts to develop these fluted stems. The crystal is formed to capture, condense, and release the unique undertones of Cognac and Hennessy.
- Lead-free crystal is fire-polished for a lovely finish.
- The elongated bowl leaves less surface area for evaporation, coaxing a more delicate aroma from the strong, distilled spirit.
- Delicate yet stable, each cognac glass stands 7-1/4 inches tall and holds 7 oz.
Recommended for: Armagnac (mature), Armagnac (young), Brandy, Calvados, Cognac V.S.O.P., Cognac XO, Rum, V.S.O.P. Cognac, XO Cognac
Why choose this set over similar glasses?

Great Value
These glasses have a stunning shape to the bowl and a delicate stem that feels great to hold. They are just the right size for a good cognac in the evening, and do not take up too much space in the cupboard. IWA sent them right away, great company.

Great tasting glasses.
I have a friend who makes artisan whiskey and cognac, and these glasses are great for his tastings. I had to go out and buy some after we used his. Now every time he gives me a bottle to try I break these glasses out!
