## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the Cabernet Sauvignon cup perfect for Cabernet franc?**
A: It is good for both cab sauv and cab franc. 

List of uses:

Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Emilion, Listrac, Moulis, Margaux, St. Estèphe, Cabernet Franc, Fronsac, Merlot, Médoc, Graves rouge, Pauillac, St. Julien, Pomerol, Pessac Leognan (Rouge), Bordeaux (white)

**Q: Does white wine sweat in them?**
A: That is a matter of the wine’s temperature, versus the temperature of the glass or the room ambient temperature. If you’re in a room warmer than the wine in the glass, it will always cause some amount of condensation. However, from what I have experienced with these glasses, it has been extremely minimal (also not tested in temps above 70-72F). The inherent feature of these glasses is meant to improve the tasting performance of the wine in your mouth, based on the structural design of these glasses.

**Q: Are these crystal ? Doesn’t say in the info**
A: Riedel's crystal is lead-free.... called crystalline.

**Q: The description lists a set of 2 glasses, yet the title of the listing states only  Pinot 1 glass.  Can you confirm how many for that price?**
A: We received one set of two glasses
