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.

BLOG HOME / WHICH RIEDEL WINE GLASS?
After my last couple of emails you should, hopefully, have more of an idea of which wine to drink with which food (or vice versa), but what do you drink it out of?
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
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.
