Riedel Winewings Cabernet/Merlot Glasses

These wings-shaped bowls are specifically engineered to direct wine to different taste receptors and actually work better than standard glasses for red wine drinkers. A set of two makes sense for an anniversary and sits on the shelf as a daily-use upgrade rather than something he'll fear opening.

Riedel Winewings Cabernet/Merlot Glasses No 05

An oversized 33oz red wine glass with a flat, stretched, wing-shaped bowl that increases surface area so big tannic reds like Cabernet and Merlot open up faster. Machine-made in Germany from lead-free crystal and dishwasher safe. Sold by the stem at Total Wine and Riedel's own shop.
