Grape Cabernet / Merlot / Cocktail Glasses
The Riedel Restaurant Grape Cabernet/Merlot/Cocktail Glass (0424/0) is part of the Grape collection's flat-bottomed contemporary approach to multi-purpose glassware. At 830ml with a 103mm diameter, the generous bowl provides ample space for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot aromatics to develop while the flat base allows even mixing for cocktail service. The modern design gives this glass a distinctive visual character that works as well in a cocktail bar as at a restaurant wine table.
The flat bottom is the Grape collection's defining structural feature: it provides a stable standing surface without a traditional stem base, giving the glass a sleek contemporary silhouette while maintaining the practical stability needed in high-volume service. Machine-made in lead-free crystal, certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, sold in sets of 12.
Key features:
- Flat-bottomed contemporary design: The flat base eliminates the traditional stem base for a clean modern silhouette while providing stable standing without a wide base footprint
- 830ml bowl for red wine and cocktails: Generous volume accommodates the aeration requirements of full-bodied red wines as well as providing space for ice, garnishes, and mixers in cocktail builds
- 103mm rim for full aromatic expression: Wide enough for Cabernet and Merlot aromatics to develop and reach the nose fully
- Dual wine and cocktail functionality: The flat-bottom format works for stirred cocktail builds as well as full-bodied red wine service
- Robust modern aesthetic: Contemporary design suited to modern bar and casual dining environments
- 1,500-cycle dishwasher certification: EN 12875-1/2 certified
- Set of 12, trade-only: Restaurant-format case quantity
What Restaurant Professionals Ask About This Product
No. The flat base provides stable standing without affecting the bowl geometry that matters for wine: the 830ml volume and 103mm rim diameter are correctly proportioned for full-bodied red wine service. The flat bottom is a design choice that affects the visual character of the glass rather than its performance with wine.
The 830ml flat-bottomed format works well for wine-glass cocktail builds: Spritz variations, wine-based cocktails, large-format spirit-forward builds served over ice with a large cube, and any cocktail where a generous vessel with a broad base suits the presentation.
The 0424/0 (Cabernet/Merlot/Cocktail) is 830ml with a 103mm rim, designed for full-bodied reds and robust cocktail builds. The 0424/05 (White Wine/Champagne/Spritz) is 550ml with a 92mm rim, designed for lighter white wines, sparkling service, and Spritz. Together they cover the full wine and cocktail range within the Grape collection.
EN 12875-1/2 certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, corresponding to 10+ years of normal restaurant service life.
The Grape Collection: Contemporary Versatility Without Compromise
The Grape collection reflects a practical observation about how contemporary dining and drinking actually work: the line between wine service and cocktail service has blurred in many operations, and glassware that can span both without compromise is genuinely useful.
The flat-bottomed bowl of the 0424/0 is the design solution to that need. It looks like a cocktail glass, has the stability and base geometry for cocktail building and mixing, and at 830ml with a 103mm rim it also performs correctly as a full-bodied red wine glass. One glass that does both jobs without looking wrong for either.
For operations that describe themselves as bar-restaurant hybrids, that have a serious cocktail programme alongside a wine list, or that want a modern aesthetic throughout their glassware without investing in separate wine and cocktail glass ranges, the Grape collection is the practical answer.
