Not Riedel Vinum--But Great Value, February 22, 2009 We have used Riedel Vinum glasses for years (bordeaux). We've bought probably 10 boxes of 6 over the years. They are lovely, luxurious, and a joy to drink from. Why have we bought so many? Because they break very, very easily--seriously--if you look at one the wrong way it cracks.
When we bought a second home and were stocking it, we got these glasses at Target and the durability, compared to the Vinums, is much better. We've never had to replace even one.
You can definitely tell the difference between the two--the Vinums are larger and have a thinner lip. They feel finer in your hand and they are definitely more pleasurable to drink out of. However, the Vivant is still a nice glass and you can't beat it for durability.
