Riedel O For Two Tasting Set One of the hottest new designs in the wine world, the O series from renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel includes this O For Two tasting set, a beautiful gift for a new couple, anniversary, or favorite oenophile. The set contains two stemless O glasses that each stands 4-1/8 inches high and holds 13-1/4 ounces at full capacity, along with a 6-1/4-inch, 15-3/4-ounce decanter. Known as the Mini-Cabernet, the diamond-shape decanter is taken from Riedel’s Vinum Extreme collection, a modern match for the O tumblers.

Riedel’s O tumblers neatly sidestep the annoying issue of stem breakage and fit handily into a picnic basket. They also stack compactly on a shelf when the bottom glass is turned upside-down and a second placed upright on top. Machine-made of lead-free glass, the tumblers and decanter slip right into the dishwasher for easy clean-up, although washing by hand is recommended. –Ann Bieri
Customer Review: A wonderful glass for sake drinking
I learned about this product from John Gauntner’s Sake newsletter. This ia a wonderful set of glasses for nihonshu. This glass was designed to bring out the gentle nuances of sake and has achieved that goal. The glass can hold a significant amount of sake which I prefer to more traditional small o-choko and its size makes swirling easier. The glasses are stemless which allows for easier cleanup in a dishwasher and keeps with Japanese aesthetics. This glass has become my favorite glass for sake tasting and for general purpose sake consumption.
