Riedel has now come out with their first glass designed specifically
for rose wines. It is in the Vinum series, and has a clear bowl and
pink stem. The price quoted in a recent catalog was US$50 for a set of
two. Although modern Riedel wine glasses have been plain and not
colored until recently, this has not always been so. In the late 1800s
Riedel made glasses as ornate as other Bohemian glass including
colored glass, elaborate cutting, engraving, enamel, gold, etc.

This rose glass is the third in a limited seres of pink glasses to
benefit "Living Beyond Breast Cancer". Riedel donates 15% of the
proceeds to the organization.

The pink stem appears to be a fairly light shade in the catalog photo.
It is not an intense "shocking pink" shade that would stand out from
across the room.

I have a set of the Schott Zweisel titanium glasses that are billed as
rose/Riesling.

This latter fact is 99.9% true, but not 100%. There has been a
with Riesling Grand Cru/Chianti Classico bowl with a dark green
stem. I don't remember the series (probably Vinum, too), and the
name of the glass was either "Alsace" or "Grüner Veltliner".
