From the Manufacturer A Glass Is Not Just a Glass The Content Determines the Shape Riedel's belief when it comes to develop a shape is that design ideas are not born on a drawing board but shaped by trial and error with the help and support of the world’s greatest palates. A person interested in wine is led by color, bouquet, and taste. He often does not consider the glass--used as an instrument to convey the message of the wine. Over the years we have acquired some interesting scientific explanations as to why the shape of a glass so influences the bouquet and taste of alcoholic beverages. The first discovery was made while enjoying wine.

From the manufacturer Welcome To Riedel The company RIEDEL is a family owned, 300 year-old crystal company known to be the inventor of varietal specific stemware. Riedel is the first company in history to recognize that the taste of a beverage is affected by the shape of the vessel from which it is consumed, and has been recognized for its revolutionary designs which complement primarily alcoholic beverages. The Riedel Mark Of Quality - Working with the Italian Sommelier association A.I.S. (Associazione Italiana Sommeliers) Claus Riedel unveiled the world’s first gourmet glass series in Orvieto in 1973. The series comprised 10 sizes. The world of wine has changed radically since then. Today, there are regions and continents producing wine which did not exist or were unknown at the time. Sommeliers has developed into a comprehensive, state-of-the-art 'Vitrum-Vinothek'. As a result of global demand, Sommeliers now represents the benchmark among wine glasses and is the most successful hand-made glass series in the world. Every glass is an individual piece, with the upper part blown into shape and the stem and base shaped by hand using methods that were developed around the time of Christ's birth. Our glass makers contribute the talent, skill and care required to give the Sommeliers series the hand-crafted finish that our customers expect.
