Which Riedel Wine Glass?

  • 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.

Riedel is famous for being the inventors of the specialised wine glass. That particular grape varieties taste better in certain shapes of glass has been widely accepted for the past 30 years or so. However, this means that the array of available Riedel wine glasses can be somewhat overwhelming. 

Your first decision as a Riedel purchaser will be which collection most suits your budget and taste. Once you have made that decision, the rest is much easier as you build your collection of grape-specific glasses within that range. 

I've put together a few thoughts to help you decide which range is the one for you. 

Riedel Vinum Glasses

Vinum was the first grape-specific, machine-made series of glasses in history and remains Riedel's best selling range, combining quality and value. Perfect for everyday use.

Riedel Winewings Glasses

The Riedel Winewings range has a flat and stretched bottom, with a wing-like shape to increase the surface area between wine and air, which increases the levels of evaporation and develops a greater intensity of aroma. When positioning one’s head to the glass, the nose is closer and is exposed to the wider surface of the wine.

However, this alone would not fully deliver the optimal aroma of each grape variety and so, to capture the delicate layered aromas, it was necessary to curve the glass walls and to correctly calibrate the opening of each glass with its ideal rim diameter.

Our standard price less than £26 per glass.

  • Fiona – Originally I bought 4 sets of varietal specific Veritas glasses (white, chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet). In under 2 years, all of them broke, in almost all cases the stem. Half the time it was the dishwasher, half the time it was hand washing. I switched to Vinum and those were significantly more durable. I’ve broken a few here and there, Vinum usually broke somewhere around the bowl of the glass, mostly because of falling over/clumsy friends, and the edge of the quartz kitchen sink counter clamed two. I’d say 75% of them have survived, 4 years later. If you’re not as “delicate” as Veritas would like you to be, Vinum is the glass for you.

  • Sadly I have just broken one of my vitis cabernet glasses, what is the best match for this glass (looks and performance).
    I have looked but am a little confused which way to go for a replacement.
