The handy machine-made Cabernet glass of the innovative glass collection Big O attracts attention throught its stemless design. This makes it less susceptible to glass breakage and easy to put into the dishwaser. Featuring the bowl shape of RIEDEL’S famous Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru glass, which was first introduced in 1958, the glass is a precision instrument developed to highlight the unique characteristics of wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc or Merlot, emphasising the rich dark fruits and balancing the tannins of these popular red wines. "Big O" complements the popular "O Wine Tumbler" glass series for big, bold and concentrated wines. These glasses are ideal for everyday use and for every occasion. It is fun, feels good to hold, looks trendy and it works! All RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe.
