The bouquet, taste, balance and finish of wines and spirits are affected by the shape of the glass from which they are drunk.  Beginning with the designs of Clause J. Riedel, Riedel Crystal has pioneered the creation of stemware to match and complement a wide variety wines and spirits.

 In the late 1950s, Riedel began to produce a signature look of thin-blown, unadorned stemware, reducing the glass to its essence: bowl; stem; and base.  Riedel extends this focus on functional beauty with minimal adornment in a collection of cleanly lined decanters of visually stunning design.

“The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make.” (Robert M. Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate).

With such a glowing reputation, you can trust that one doesn’t need to be a wine writer, a wine maker or sommelier to appreciate the difference that a Riedel glass can make.
