Mise En Place Glasses
The Riedel Restaurant Degustazione Mise en Place Glass (0489/05) is the practical all-purpose table glass from the Degustazione hospitality collection. At 455ml with a stemmed form at 217mm, it is sized and shaped for water and soft drink service at the restaurant table: generous enough in capacity for comfortable service intervals between refills, and in a form that reads as considered glassware rather than a generic water tumbler.
Part of the Degustazione range designed specifically for the hospitality industry, the Mise en Place glass prioritises simplicity, durability, and functional versatility. It is the glass that is on the table when guests sit down, that serves water and soft drinks throughout the meal, and that is robust and easy to manage in high-volume commercial service. Machine-made in lead-free crystal, certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, sold in sets of 12.

What Restaurant Professionals Ask About This Product
The Degustazione range includes varietal-specific wine glasses and the stemless O tumbler (0489/41). The Mise en Place (0489/05) is the stemmed all-purpose table glass for water, soft drinks, and general use, not designed for varietal-specific wine service. It completes the Degustazione table setting alongside the wine glasses, providing a cohesive glassware programme at a consistent quality level across all drink categories.
It can, and in casual dining or for carafe wine service it is an acceptable choice. It is not shaped for varietal-specific wine service: the bowl geometry is not optimised for any particular wine style. For wine service where the glass is part of the tasting experience, the Degustazione Red or White Wine glasses are more appropriate.
EN 12875-1/2 certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, corresponding to 10+ years of normal restaurant service life.
The Complete Table Setting: Why the Water Glass Matters
A restaurant's glassware programme is only as coherent as its least considered element. An operation that invests in varietal-specific wine glasses but puts a generic mismatched tumbler beside them for water service is communicating a mixed message about its standards. The Mise en Place glass exists to close that gap.
Its form is stemmed and considered, matching the quality level of the Degustazione wine glasses it sits alongside without competing with them for attention. At 455ml it is generous enough for comfortable water service through a full meal without requiring the table to be refilled every few minutes.
The Degustazione range was designed as a complete hospitality glassware system, and the Mise en Place is the element that completes the table setting. For operations already using Degustazione wine glasses, adding the Mise en Place is the straightforward way to ensure every glass on the table communicates the same standard of care.
