ReviewVitis com stands tall in the Riedel team, literally. These wine glasses are the largest made by the leading glassware company and constantly innovating. Introduced in spring 2007, Vitis (which means “vine” in Latin) is a bold initiative, extending the collection oversized Riedel Vinum Extreme, designed with a modern diamond-shaped bowl. Both are machine-made of full lead crystal, but Vitis stems go further, they are drawn from a single piece of glass, causing a spectacular fluidity. The bowl actually extends down into the tapered stem in a tear-drop fashion, which means that the wine itself creates the low point of the diamond. Unusually large for a glass of white wine, Vitis Montrachet stem holds an impressive  24-3/8 ounces . The bowl is designed to provide sufficient area for the assessment of full-bodied white wines such as French and New World Montrachet Chardonnay, while the 9-5/8-inch height adds to the sophisticated ambience of the room brilliant and beautifully balanced. Vitis crystal is presented in a beautiful box and Riedel makes a great gift for wine connoisseurs. To preserve clarity of crystal and prevent stem breakage, the glasses are best washed by hand. – Ann Bieri
