Mouth-blown from lead-free crystal in Austria, it was described by Decanter magazine as the finest Burgundy glass of all time - a claim that rests on its 1050ml bowl, the slightly flared lip that directs wine precisely onto the front palate, and decades of use with serious Burgundy. It is available as a single glass or a set of 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiedel developed this shape to work with wines where fruit character and acidity need careful balance. The large bowl allows the bouquet to develop fully, whilst the flared lip delivers a controlled flow that highlights fruit whilst keeping the natural acidity of the wine in check. It is an unforgiving glass by design - Riedel's own description of it as a \"beautiful monster\" is apt: a lesser wine will have nowhere to hide, but a genuinely great Pinot Noir, Barolo or Barbaresco will be presented at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouth-blown in Austria:\u003c\/strong\u003e Part of Riedel's premier handmade Sommeliers collection, crafted by skilled glassblowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1050ml bowl capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of the largest bowls in the Sommeliers range, providing generous space for aromatic development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlared lip design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Directs wine onto the front palate, highlighting fruit character whilst balancing acidity - a specific design choice for Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo-based wines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum-recognised design:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead-free crystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Austrian-made, with exceptional clarity and lightness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable as a single glass or a set of 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis glass is designed for those who drink serious Burgundy, Barolo or Barbaresco with any regularity - wines where the nuance of delivery genuinely matters.

The flared lip and large bowl are designed to highlight fruit whilst keeping the marked acidity of these wines in balance.

The slightly flared lip on this glass is designed to direct wine onto the front palate - the area most receptive to fruit character - rather than the sides or back of the mouth where acidity and tannin are more pronounced. For Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo-based wines, where fruit can be delicate relative to the wine's acidity, this precision of delivery is the design objective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does this compare to the Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru glass?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe Burgundy Grand Cru has a larger bowl (1050ml vs 860ml) but a shorter overall height (248mm vs 270mm), giving it a broader, rounder profile. The key functional difference is the flared lip, which is specific to the Burgundy shape and absent on the Bordeaux version. Each is designed for a fundamentally different wine style: the Bordeaux shape suits tannic, fruit-forward reds where aeration is the priority; the Burgundy shape suits aromatic, high-acid reds where front-palate fruit delivery matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eCan I put this in the dishwasher?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eWe would strongly recommend handwashing the Sommeliers collection. The 1050ml bowl on this glass is particularly wide, making it vulnerable to contact with other items in a dishwasher, and the mouth-blown crystal walls are exceptionally thin. Warm water, mild detergent, and a lint-free cloth will maintain the glass in excellent condition and significantly reduce the risk of breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Expert \/ Collection Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #557B97; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 20px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eA Glass with a Documented History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew wine glasses have an independent record of recognition to point to. The Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru has two: Decanter magazine's description of it as the finest Burgundy glass of all time, and inclusion in the permanent design collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York - where it sits alongside objects selected for the quality and influence of their design rather than commercial success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape dates to 1958, which predates the widespread adoption of varietal-specific glassware as a concept. Riedel's argument - that bowl geometry and rim shape affect how wine reaches the palate - was unconventional at the time and is now the basis of an entire product category. The Burgundy Grand Cru is where that argument was first made clearly, and it remains the reference point for the shape. Whether you experience the difference as dramatic or subtle is a matter of individual palate, but the design rationale is well documented and consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Specifications --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Sommeliers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single glass or set of 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1050ml\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248mm (24.8cm)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead-free crystal\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mouth-blown in Austria\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst Produced:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1958\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir, Burgundy, Barolo, Barbaresco\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotable Recognition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permanent collection, Museum of Modern Art, New York\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handwashing strongly recommended\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Care \u0026 Use --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandwashing (Strongly Recommended):\u003c\/strong\u003e Use warm water and a small amount of mild detergent.

Handmade glasses inevitably vary between pieces, whilst machine production ensures every glass performs identically. Riedel developed proprietary technology specifically to achieve handmade-quality thinness and balance through machine production, combining precision with the delicacy previously only possible through hand-blowing.

Specific varietals include Pinot Noir (Pinot Nero), Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, Beaujolais Grand Cru, Gamay, Moulin-à-Vent, and St. Laurent. The expansive bowl also suits certain fortified wines like Sherry and Palomino. If you primarily drink full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or Bordeaux blends, consider the Bordeaux-specific Superleggero glass instead, as bowl shape significantly affects wine perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhat's the difference between this and the Bordeaux Superleggero glass?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe Burgundy Grand Cru glass features a wider, more rounded bowl (1022ml capacity) designed to capture delicate aromatics from Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo-based wines, directing wine to emphasise fruit elegance and aromatic complexity. The Bordeaux glass has a slightly smaller capacity (953ml) with a taller, more tapered shape suited to full-bodied wines with prominent tannin structures. Choose based on your primary wine preferences - Burgundy\/Pinot Noir drinkers benefit most from this shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eIs this glass too delicate for regular use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe Superleggero is exceptionally thin and light, requiring careful handling. The 106mm base diameter provides stability on flat surfaces, but the glass demands more attention during washing and storage than heavier designs. This is a glass for wine enthusiasts who value performance over robustness and are willing to handle glassware with care.

Traditional handmade production creates subtle variations between glasses that affect wine flow and taste perception - variations that compromise Riedel's philosophy of directing wine to specific palate areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiedel invested in developing proprietary manufacturing equipment capable of producing glasses with wall thickness and weight previously achievable only through hand-blowing, whilst maintaining the geometric precision of machine production. The result is a glass that performs identically to its siblings - critical when serving multiple guests or comparing wines side-by-side.

Hold the glass by the base, never by the bowl whilst cleaning the stem, and never twist the bowl whilst holding the stem. Support the bowl from underneath with one hand whilst washing the interior with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water and dry immediately with a lint-free microfibre cloth to prevent water spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying Technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Superleggero's exceptional thinness requires particular care when drying. Hold the bowl firmly in one hand and gently polish it with a microfibre cloth in the other hand - never hold both the base and bowl simultaneously as this can create stress fractures in the stem. Allow glasses to air dry in an upright position before final polishing if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher (Not Recommended):\u003c\/strong\u003e Whilst technically dishwasher safe, the Superleggero's delicate construction makes machine washing inadvisable. If you must use a dishwasher, select the gentlest cycle at maximum 50°C, secure glasses in the upper rack with ample spacing (they must not touch each other or any other items), and avoid heavily abrasive or lemon-scented detergents. Remove promptly and allow to air dry with the door open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always hold Superleggero glasses by the base rather than the bowl when possible. When pouring wine, support the base on a stable surface rather than holding the glass in the air. The thin crystal can transmit hand warmth to the wine more readily than heavier glasses, so minimise contact with the bowl during service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store glasses upright in a dedicated area where they won't be knocked or jostled. Never stack glasses or store them rim-down. Consider using individual glass storage boxes or padded dividers if storing for extended periods. Ensure storage areas are clean and dry to prevent dust accumulation on the delicate rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving Spots:\u003c\/strong\u003e For stubborn water spots or cloudiness, add a small amount of white vinegar to your final rinse water.

Timeless and elegant, it is fine-blown and lightweight, executed in sparkling crystal with perfect balance in hand, and based on Riedel's iconic Grape Varietal Specific bowls. The result is a glass that serves Burgundy the way the region's wines are meant to be experienced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe large 705ml bowl captures the complete aromatic nuance of complex red Burgundy, from the red cherry and violet of a young Chambolle-Musigny to the game, forest floor, and spice of a mature Vosne-Romanee. The bowl geometry then directs the flow of wine to the sweetness zone of the tongue, leading with fruit and allowing the wine's characteristic high acidity to register as freshness and structure rather than sharpness. For a region where the interplay between fruit and acidity is everything, this is a glass that understands what it is serving. Fine-blown from lead-free crystal and certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles under EN 12875-1\/2, Restaurant Veritas brings the performance of the acclaimed consumer Veritas range to professional hospitality at a commercial durability standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eKey features of the Riedel Restaurant Veritas Old World Pinot Noir glass:\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness-zone delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bowl geometry directs wine to the zone of the tongue most sensitive to sweetness, highlighting rich fruit character and tempering the high acidity that defines Old World Pinot Noir and red Burgundy\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge 705ml bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captures the full range of aromatic nuance in complex red Burgundy, from primary red fruit in young wines to the layered tertiary complexity of aged grands crus\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOld World vs New World distinction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Part of the first collection to differentiate between Old World and New World expressions of Pinot Noir within a single range, calibrated specifically for the restrained, terroir-driven, high-acid style of Burgundy and cool-climate producers\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad appellation coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended across all red Burgundy levels from village appellations to grands crus, and for Gamay, Beaujolais Cru, Blauburgunder, and St. Laurent\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine-blown lead-free crystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Timeless elegance and perfect balance in hand, achieving the refined feel of handmade stemware with machine-made precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1,500-cycle commercial certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified, 50% more durable than the standard Restaurant range, corresponding to 10+ years of typical restaurant service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade-only set of 6:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exclusively available to hospitality operations including bars, restaurants, hotels, and catering businesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis glass is the natural choice for restaurants, wine bars, and hotels with serious Burgundy programmes and for any operation where Old World Pinot Noir, Gamay, or related high-acid reds feature prominently on the list.

Old World Pinot Noir, and red Burgundy in particular, tends toward restraint: lower alcohol, higher acidity, more mineral and earthy character, and fruit that is precise and delicate rather than generous and ripe. New World Pinot from Oregon or New Zealand leads with riper, fuller fruit, softer acidity, and more body. The New World glass (0449\/67) uses a flared lip to foreground that ripe fruit. The Old World glass (0449\/07) uses bowl geometry that directs flow to the sweetness zone, allowing Burgundy's more restrained fruit to register clearly before the wine's high acidity takes over. The same shape applied to both styles would serve neither optimally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eIs one glass enough for all red Burgundy, from village to grand cru?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eYes. The 0449\/07 is recommended across the full appellation hierarchy, from Santenay and St. Aubin at village level through to Musigny, Echezeaux, and Romanee-Saint-Vivant at grand cru level. The large bowl volume is an asset at every level: it allows the simpler, fruit-forward aromatics of village wine to develop clearly, while also giving the more complex, layered tertiary character of aged premier and grand cru wines the space they need to fully unfold. For operations with Burgundy programmes spanning multiple price points, a single Veritas Old World Pinot Noir glass handles the full range correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhy is Gamay recommended for a Pinot Noir glass?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eGamay shares the same structural fingerprint as Old World Pinot Noir: high acidity, moderate tannin, aromatic red fruit, and relatively light body. Beaujolais Cru wines from Moulin-a-Vent, Morgon, Fleurie, and their neighbours have the aromatic complexity and structural character to reward a large-bowl glass with sweetness-first delivery. Serving a serious Moulin-a-Vent in a small, generic red wine glass undersells the wine and the list. The 0449\/07 serves Gamay with the same logic it applies to Pinot Noir: leading with fruit, tempering acidity, and allowing the aromatic profile to develop properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does sweetness-zone delivery actually work in practice?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe shape of the bowl and the angle of the rim determine where wine first contacts the tongue when you take a sip. A glass with an inward-curving or neutral rim delivers wine broadly across the palate, where acidity and tannin register alongside fruit simultaneously. A bowl geometry that directs flow forward and centrally targets the tip and front of the tongue, which is most sensitive to sweetness. For Old World Pinot Noir, where the fruit is often delicate and the acidity assertive, getting the fruit to register first changes the entire impression of the wine: it feels more generous, more complete, and better balanced than the same wine in a less considered glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow many dishwasher cycles are these glasses certified for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eRiedel Restaurant Veritas glasses are independently certified to EN 12875-1\/2 standards for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles with no visible deterioration.

Collectors, critics, and serious diners approach a Chambolle-Musigny or Vosne-Romanee with a level of expectation that almost no other wine must carry. The pressure to deliver on that expectation falls, in part, on the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe structural challenge of red Burgundy is well known to anyone who has served it at a high level. The acidity that gives the wine its extraordinary ageing potential and its food-friendliness can, in the wrong glass, come across as sharp or even aggressive before the fruit has a chance to declare itself. Village-level Burgundy suffers from this more than grands crus, because the fruit is less concentrated and has less weight to balance against the acidity. A glass that addresses this, as the 0449\/07 does, transforms the experience: the fruit leads, the acidity follows as freshness, and the wine makes the impression its producer intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe Veritas collection was also the first to formally distinguish between Old World and New World expressions of Pinot Noir within a single range. That distinction matters for list-building decisions. An operation with Burgundy as the anchor of its red list, and perhaps some Gamay, Blauburgunder, and St. Laurent alongside it, now has a single glass designed to serve all of those wines correctly. An operation with both Burgundy and New World Pinot benefits from stocking both the 0449\/07 and the 0449\/67, using each for the style it was designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFor operations where Burgundy represents significant revenue and significant trust from the customer, the 0449\/07 is not an extravagance. It is the correct professional tool for the job, and at Restaurant Veritas pricing and durability, a commercially defensible one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003c!-- Specifications --\u003e\n \u003cdiv id=\"specs-owpn\" style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n \u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Restaurant Veritas\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU \/ Item Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0449\/07\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 6 glasses\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 705ml (24 7\/8 oz)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 235mm (9 1\/4 inches)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108mm (4 1\/4 inches)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead-free crystal glass\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine-made, fine-blown and lightweight\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large bowl with sweetness-zone delivery\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Heritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Based on iconic Riedel Grape Varietal Specific bowls\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied reds above 12.5% ABV with high acidity and moderate tannin\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burgundy (red), Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanee, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Vougeot, Musigny, Echezeaux, Romanee-Saint-Vivant, Santenay, St. Aubin, Old World Pinot Noir, Blauburgunder, St. Laurent, Gamay, Beaujolais Cru, Moulin-a-Vent\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified for 1,500 cycles\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Lifespan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10+ years under normal restaurant usage\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional hospitality, bars, restaurants, hotels (trade-only)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003c!-- Care \u0026 Maintenance --\u003e\n \u003cdiv id=\"care-owpn\" style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n \u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Dishwasher Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veritas glasses are certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles under EN 12875-1\/2.

The same geometry is equally well suited to Nebbiolo-based wines (Barolo, Barbaresco, Nerello Mascalese), Blanc de Noirs, and Rosé Champagne, where delicate fruit character, aromatic lift, and precise palate delivery are equally important. Fine-blown from lead-free crystal, the Veritas Restaurant range achieves the feel of a handmade glass with the precision and durability a commercial operation demands.

The flared lip of the 0449\/67 redirects that flow to the front palate, where sweetness and fruit are most perceptible. The result is a glass that presents the wine at its most seductive and harmonious - exactly what Oregon producers were working towards when they collaborated with Riedel on this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does this glass work for Nebbiolo and Rosé Champagne?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eNebbiolo (Barolo, Barbaresco) shares Pinot Noir's structural fragility - delicate aromatics that reward a large bowl with room to develop, and firm acidity that benefits from the front-palate delivery of the flared lip. The geometry softens the perception of Nebbiolo's often formidable tannin structure whilst letting its complex rose, tar, and cherry aromatics unfold. For Rosé Champagne and Blanc de Noirs, the tulip bowl concentrates delicate floral and red-fruit aromatics more effectively than a flute, and the flared lip delivers those aromatics with precision - making this a genuinely versatile choice for lists where both still and sparkling red-grape wines feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does this glass differ from the Old World Pinot Noir (0449\/07)?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eBoth share the same dimensions (235mm height, 108mm widest diameter) but differ in capacity and bowl geometry. The New World version (0449\/67, 800ml) uses a tulip shape with a flared lip to foreground fruit sweetness - calibrated for the riper, fuller, more generous character of wines from Oregon, California, New Zealand, South Africa, and similar climates. The Old World version (0449\/07, 705ml) has a bowl tuned for the more restrained, higher-acid, terroir-driven style of Burgundy and cool-climate producers.

Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo are best served slightly cool - around 14-16°C - and at a standard pour, a glass of this size maintains serving temperature comfortably within a normal dining pace.

The reasoning is straightforward. A Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon and a Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy share the grape but almost nothing else. Oregon typically delivers riper, rounder, more generously fruited wines with softer acidity and a fuller body. Burgundy leans toward restraint, mineral precision, high acidity, and complex tertiary character developed over time in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 0449\/67 was developed in direct collaboration with Oregon producers to serve that riper, fruit-forward style at its best. The tulip bowl gathers those generous red-fruit aromatics; the flared lip delivers them to the front palate where they make the strongest impression. For operations with New World-heavy lists - California, Oregon, New Zealand, South African Pinot - this glass presents the wines in the way their makers intended them to be experienced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same logic applies to Nebbiolo. Barolo and Barbaresco from a warmer vintage, or from producers working in a more modern, fruit-forward style, benefit from the same treatment. The large bowl softens Nebbiolo's formidable tannic grip by aerating the wine as it's poured; the front-palate delivery of the flared lip leads with fruit rather than tannin. For Rosé Champagne and Blanc de Noirs, where Pinot Noir's red fruit character is the headline - rather than the autolytic complexity of Blanc de Blancs - this bowl shape collects and presents those aromatics more effectively than any flute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor operations running serious programmes across these categories, the 0449\/67 offers genuine versatility: one glass, correctly designed, that serves New World Pinot, Italian Nebbiolo, and Rosé Champagne with equal purpose. That kind of intelligent cross-category utility is what distinguishes a thoughtful glass list from a generic one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Specifications --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"specs-nwpn\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Restaurant Veritas\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU \/ Item Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0449\/67\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 6 glasses\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 800ml (28¼ oz)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 235mm (9¼ inches)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidest Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108mm (4¼ inches)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead-free crystal glass\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine-made, fine-blown and lightweight\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tulip bowl with slightly flared lip\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Developed with Oregon producers for New World Pinot Noir expression\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e New World Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, Barolo, Blanc de Noirs, Nerello Mascalese, Rosé Champagne\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified for 1,500 cycles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Lifespan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10+ years under normal restaurant usage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional hospitality - bars, restaurants, hotels (trade-only)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Care \u0026 Maintenance --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"care-nwpn\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Dishwasher Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veritas glasses are certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles under EN 12875-1\/2 standards.

Available in sets of 2 or 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 655ml bowl is wide and open-mouthed - a deliberately different shape from the more upright Riesling\/Zinfandel glass in the same collection. Riedel's design rationale is specific: full-bodied white wines like oaked Chardonnay and white Burgundy carry a multi-layered aromatic profile that benefits from space to develop. The wide bowl provides that space, allowing the bouquet to open fully. The open mouth is equally intentional - in a richer white wine, an overly narrow rim concentrates the alcohol and oak character disproportionately; the wider opening keeps those elements in balance with the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e655ml wide, open-mouthed bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to develop the rich, layered aromas of oaked Chardonnay and white Burgundy whilst keeping alcohol and oak in proportion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFocused wine list:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel recommends this glass for oaked Chardonnay, Burgundy Blanc, Meursault, Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, Pouilly-Fuissé and oaked Morillon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMachine-blown precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consistent bowl geometry across every glass in a set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15% taller, 25% lighter than Vinum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully confirmed by Riedel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in sets of 2 or 4\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis glass suits those who drink white Burgundy, premier or grand cru Chardonnay, or oaked new-world Chardonnay regularly and want a glass calibrated to bring out the texture and aromatic complexity those wines are built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: rgba(85, 123, 151, 0.15); border-left: 4px solid #557B97; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 20px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"qa\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eWhat Customers Ask About the Riedel Veritas Oaked Chardonnay Glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhich wines is this glass designed for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eRiedel designed this glass specifically for full-bodied, oaked white wines.

The common thread is richness, texture, and aromatic complexity developed through oak ageing or full malo-lactic fermentation.

The Riesling\/Zinfandel shape (409ml) is more upright and focused, designed for high-acid, aromatic whites where freshness and mineral precision are the priority. The Oaked Chardonnay shape (655ml) is wider and more open-mouthed, designed for richer, fuller-bodied whites where aromatic development and texture matter more than acidity management. If your white wine is predominantly Riesling, Gruner Veltliner, or unoaked styles, the Riesling\/Zinfandel glass is the right choice. If it is predominantly oaked Chardonnay or white Burgundy, this is the glass Riedel recommends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does this compare to the Sommeliers Chablis\/Chardonnay glass?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe Sommeliers Chablis\/Chardonnay glass (350ml, mouth-blown in Austria) is Riedel's premier handmade white wine shape, designed for Chablis, Chardonnay of any age, and mature Bordeaux. The Veritas Oaked Chardonnay (655ml, machine-blown) applies varietal-specific design principles for richer, oaked white wine styles at a lower price point with the practical advantages of dishwasher safety and consistent machine precision. The Sommeliers shape is smaller and more restrained in its aeration; the Veritas shape is built specifically around the bigger, richer character of oaked Chardonnay. Both are sound choices for white Burgundy - the decision comes down to budget, occasion, and how carefully you want to treat your glasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eIs this glass dishwasher safe?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eYes - Riedel confirms the Veritas collection is fully dishwasher safe. Use a gentle cycle at no more than 55°C. The wide bowl means spacing is particularly important - ensure glasses cannot knock against each other or the dishwasher rack. Avoid heavily abrasive or lemon-scented detergents, which can cloud crystal over time. Remove promptly at the end of the cycle.

Both are white wine glasses in the same collection, but they are built around fundamentally different wine structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnoaked and aromatic whites - Riesling, Gruner Veltliner, lighter Chardonnay - have pronounced primary fruit character and high acidity as their defining features. A more upright, focused bowl preserves those aromatics and manages the acidity. Oaked Chardonnay and white Burgundy at serious levels have something different going on: secondary aromas from barrel fermentation and ageing, textural weight from malo-lactic fermentation, and a richer, more layered aromatic profile that benefits from generous space to develop. The wide, open-mouthed bowl of the Oaked Chardonnay glass is designed for exactly that - room to breathe, without the concentration that a narrower rim would impose on already-rich wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Veritas\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 2 or set of 4\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 655ml\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 217mm (21.7cm)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead-free crystal\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine-blown\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oaked Chardonnay, white Burgundy, Meursault, Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, Pouilly-Fuissé\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"wines\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eRiedel-Recommended Wine Varieties for This Glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following varieties and appellations are recommended by Riedel for use with the Veritas Oaked Chardonnay glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurgundy Blanc, Chardonnay (oaked), Corton-Charlemagne, Meursault, Montrachet, Morillon (oaked), Pouilly-Fuissé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher (Fully Supported):\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel confirms the Veritas collection is dishwasher safe.

Available in sets of 2 or 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 738ml balloon-shaped bowl is designed for wines with high acidity and moderate tannin - the profile of Old World Pinot Noir, red Burgundy, and Gamay-based wines. Riedel's design logic holds that the bowl shape directs wine onto the part of the tongue most receptive to sweetness and fruit, tempering the perception of high acidity whilst allowing the aromatics to develop fully in the generous bowl. The result is a glass calibrated for wines where delicacy and precision of delivery matter as much as aeration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e738ml balloon bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, rounded shape designed to capture the aromatic complexity of Pinot Noir and similar wines whilst directing delivery for fruit-forward character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMachine-blown precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consistent bowl geometry across every glass in a set - a practical advantage for entertaining and a core part of the Veritas design case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15% taller, 25% lighter than Vinum:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veritas is designed to feel as refined as a handmade glass whilst delivering machine precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully confirmed by Riedel, making this a practical choice for regular use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in sets of 2 or 4\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeritas Old World Pinot Noir is well suited to those who drink Burgundy, village or premier cru Pinot Noir, or Beaujolais Cru regularly and want a varietal-specific glass that holds up to daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: rgba(85, 123, 151, 0.15); border-left: 4px solid #557B97; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 20px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"qa\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eWhat Customers Ask About the Riedel Veritas Old World Pinot Noir Glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhich wines is this glass designed for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eRiedel designed this glass for light to medium-bodied red wines with high acidity and moderate tannin.

Specific Burgundy appellations covered include Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Musigny, Echézeaux, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Santenay and St. Aubin. See the full wine list on this page.

Old World Pinot Noir - Burgundy and similar European styles - tends toward higher acidity, lower alcohol, and more restrained, earthy fruit character. New World Pinot Noir from regions such as California, New Zealand, or Oregon is typically richer, rounder, and higher in alcohol. The two shapes are calibrated differently to suit these distinct wine profiles. If your Pinot Noir is predominantly from Burgundy or other European regions, this Old World shape is the Riedel recommendation; for richer, fruit-forward New World styles, consider the Veritas New World Pinot Noir glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does this compare to the Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru for Pinot Noir?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru (1050ml, mouth-blown in Austria) is Riedel's premier handmade shape for Pinot Noir and is in MoMA's permanent collection. The Veritas Old World Pinot Noir (738ml, machine-blown) applies the same varietal-specific design principles at a lower price point with the practical advantages of dishwasher safety and consistent machine precision. Both serve Burgundy-style Pinot Noir well; the choice is primarily about occasion, budget, and how carefully you want to treat your glasses day-to-day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eIs this glass dishwasher safe?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eYes - Riedel confirms the Veritas collection is fully dishwasher safe. Use a gentle cycle at no more than 55°C, ensure glasses are well spaced so they cannot knock against each other, and avoid heavily abrasive or lemon-scented detergents, which can cloud crystal over time. Remove promptly at the end of the cycle. Handwashing will maintain crystal clarity for longer, but machine washing is entirely practical for everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #557B97; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 20px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eOld World vs New World: Why the Distinction Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiedel's decision to produce separate Old World and New World Pinot Noir shapes within the Veritas range reflects a genuine difference in wine style rather than a marketing division. Old World Pinot Noir - from Burgundy in particular, but also from other cool-climate European regions - is typically characterised by higher acidity, lower alcohol, and more restrained, mineral-driven fruit. New World styles from California, Oregon, Central Otago, or Marlborough tend to be riper, rounder, and richer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Old World shape is designed with those structural differences in mind. The bowl directs wine to the palate area most receptive to fruit and sweetness, which helps counterbalance the higher acidity of European Pinot Noir rather than amplifying it. For those whose cellar is predominantly Burgundy, or who drink village and premier cru Pinot Noir from France, Germany or Austria, this is the appropriate Veritas shape. If your buying is split across both hemispheres, it is worth considering which style you drink more often before choosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Veritas\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 2 or set of 4\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 738ml\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 235mm (23.5cm)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead-free crystal\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine-blown\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old World Pinot Noir, red Burgundy, Gamay, Beaujolais Cru and related styles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"wines\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eRiedel-Recommended Wine Varieties for This Glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following varieties, styles and appellations are recommended by Riedel for use with the Veritas Old World Pinot Noir glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAreni, Beaujolais Cru, Blauburgunder, Burgundy Rouge, Chambolle-Musigny, Echézeaux, Gamay, Mencia, Moulin-à-Vent, Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pinot Noir (Old World), Pommard, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Santenay, St. Aubin, Volnay, Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher (Fully Supported):\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel confirms the Veritas collection is dishwasher safe. Use a gentle cycle at no more than 55°C. The balloon-shaped bowl is wide, so ensure glasses are well spaced in the upper rack and cannot knock against each other or the dishwasher frame. Avoid lemon-scented or heavily abrasive detergents, which can cloud crystal over time. Remove promptly at the end of the cycle and allow to air dry briefly with the door open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandwashing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. The wide bowl accommodates a soft cloth or sponge comfortably. Hold the glass by the base and never twist the bowl whilst holding the stem. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a lint-free microfibre or linen cloth. Handwashing will maintain crystal clarity for longer than machine washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolishing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hold the base firmly in one hand and polish the bowl with a lint-free cloth in the other. The wide balloon bowl benefits from a broad polishing cloth for an efficient finish. Do not grip both base and bowl simultaneously as this creates torsional stress on the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store upright and never stacked or rim-down.

Handmade glasses inevitably vary slightly between pieces, whilst cutting-edge machine production ensures every glass performs identically. The advanced technology Riedel developed creates extremely thin crystal with the appearance and feel of handcrafted glass, but with precision that's impossible to achieve through hand-blowing. This consistency is crucial when serving guests or comparing wines side-by-side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eIs this glass too delicate for regular use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eDespite the extremely thin crystal construction, the diamond shape provides structural strength that makes these glasses more durable than their delicate appearance suggests. The dishwasher-safe designation confirms they can handle regular use and cleaning. However, the narrow, tall stem requires careful handling - hold glasses by the base rather than the stem when filled, and ensure adequate spacing in the dishwasher. These glasses are designed for wine enthusiasts who appreciate refined glassware and are willing to handle them with appropriate care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWill this glass work for other white wines besides Chardonnay?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe Veloce Chardonnay glass is specifically designed for full-bodied white wines with rich texture and complexity. Beyond Chardonnay and white Burgundy, it may work well with other fuller-bodied whites like oaked Viognier, rich Chenin Blanc, or barrel-fermented white Rhône blends. For crisp, mineral-driven whites like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Riesling, you'll achieve better results with glasses designed for those styles.

Traditional handmade glass production is slow and creates variations between pieces that can affect wine perception. By developing cutting-edge machine technology capable of producing extremely thin crystal with exact specifications, Veloce delivers the performance and appearance of handcrafted glass at a faster pace and more consistent quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach represents a fundamental shift in how we think about glassware quality. For decades, \"handmade\" implied superior quality, but Riedel recognised that varietal-specific glassware requires precision that handcrafting cannot guarantee. The Veloce collection proves that advanced technology, thoughtfully applied, can exceed what's possible through traditional methods - creating glasses that look and feel handmade whilst performing with the consistency that serious wine appreciation demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe etched grape variety on each glass's base reinforces the educational aspect of varietal-specific glassware. Rather than requiring expertise to identify which shape suits which wine, the marking provides immediate clarity - making it easier to build and use a comprehensive collection whilst understanding how different shapes affect wine perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: white; border-left: 4px solid #557B97; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eChardonnay and White Burgundy: Why Glass Shape Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChardonnay presents unique challenges for glassware design. The grape itself is relatively neutral, serving as a canvas for winemaking decisions - oak treatment, malolactic fermentation, lees contact, and ageing all dramatically affect the wine's character. Full-bodied Chardonnay styles develop rich, complex profiles with buttery texture, vanilla and toast notes from oak, and layered fruit characteristics ranging from citrus to tropical to stone fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Veloce Chardonnay glass's diamond shape addresses these characteristics specifically. The generous 690ml capacity provides room for complex aromatics to develop and integrate. The wider mid-section allows the wine to breathe, revealing how oak and fruit interact. The tapered top concentrates these aromatics whilst the rim diameter directs wine to areas of your palate that emphasise Chardonnay's rich texture and fruit characteristics whilst maintaining freshness perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Burgundy - particularly from prestigious appellations like Meursault, Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet - represents Chardonnay at its most refined and expensive. When you're investing £50, £100, or more in a bottle, the right glass ensures you perceive the complexity, minerality, and subtle distinctions that justify the price. The Veloce Chardonnay glass reveals these nuances rather than masking them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Veloce\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e P102263\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMPN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6330\/97\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair (2 glasses)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 690ml\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 247mm (24.7cm)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead-free crystal (extremely thin)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine-made with cutting-edge technology\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond-shaped bowl, narrow tall stem, grape variety etched on base\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay, white Burgundy, Meursault, Montrachet, New World Chardonnay, Pouilly-Fuissé, full-bodied white wines\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veloce glasses are dishwasher safe despite their extremely thin crystal construction. Use a gentle cycle at maximum 55°C and space glasses so they don't touch each other or other items. The narrow, tall stem (247mm height) requires particularly careful placement in the dishwasher - secure glasses in the upper rack where they won't knock against other items or the dishwasher spray arm. Avoid heavily abrasive or lemon-scented detergents which can cloud crystal over time. Remove promptly and allow to air dry with the door open to prevent water spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandwashing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use warm (not hot) water with mild detergent. Hold glasses by the base, never twist the bowl whilst holding the stem. The extremely thin crystal and narrow stem require gentle handling - support the bowl from underneath with one hand whilst washing the interior with a soft cloth or sponge in the other. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a lint-free cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolishing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a microfibre or linen cloth. Hold the base firmly and polish the bowl in circular motions. For the narrow stem, support it gently to avoid applying stress. The thin crystal shows water spots easily, so immediate drying or polishing is recommended. For stubborn spots, add a small amount of white vinegar to rinse water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store glasses upright, never stacked or rim-down. The tall 247mm height requires adequate vertical cupboard space. This prevents chipping and allows air circulation to prevent musty odours. Ensure glasses are completely dry before storing to prevent cloudiness or odours developing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always hold Veloce Chardonnay glasses by the base rather than the stem when filled, as the narrow stem combined with the 690ml capacity creates a higher centre of gravity.

The cutting-edge machine production delivers consistent quality at an accessible price point.

The 690ml diamond-shaped bowl, rim diameter, and overall geometry are calibrated to enhance Chardonnay's characteristic buttery texture, oak integration, and layered fruit whilst maintaining freshness perception. Universal glasses offer convenience but compromise on varietal-specific performance. For premium Chardonnay and white Burgundy where you've invested in quality, the specific design reveals complexity that universal glasses mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eIs the narrow stem a practical concern?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe narrow, tall stem creates elegant proportions but requires slightly more care than glasses with thicker stems. Always hold the glass by the base when filled rather than gripping the stem, particularly given the 690ml capacity. In the dishwasher, ensure adequate spacing and secure placement. The stem's design serves both aesthetic and functional purposes - keeping your hand away from the bowl to avoid warming the wine whilst creating the refined appearance characteristic of the Veloce collection. With appropriate care, the stem is perfectly practical for regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhy is this sold as a pair rather than individually?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eRiedel typically packages fine crystal glasses in pairs to ensure consistent quality and matching. A pair works perfectly for couples or intimate wine appreciation, and provides the foundation for building a varietal-specific collection. If you need additional glasses for entertaining, you can purchase multiple pairs. The pair format also makes gifting straightforward - one pair is a complete, thoughtful gift for wine enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f0f8ff; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 20px 0; border-left: 4px solid #557B97; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eThe Art and Science of Glass Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiedel's approach to varietal-specific glassware combines centuries of glassmaking tradition with modern scientific understanding of sensory perception. The diamond shape of the Veloce Chardonnay glass isn't arbitrary - it's the result of extensive testing and refinement to determine which bowl geometry optimally presents full-bodied white wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBowl shape affects three critical factors: how aromatics collect and concentrate, how wine flows to different areas of your palate, and how temperature is maintained during service. The 690ml capacity provides sufficient volume for complex aromatics to develop without being so large that wine temperature rises too quickly. The diamond shape's wider mid-section allows oxygen interaction whilst the tapered top concentrates aromatics. The rim diameter and curvature direct wine flow to emphasise Chardonnay's characteristic richness whilst maintaining acidity perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutting-edge machine technology that produces Veloce glasses guarantees these carefully calculated specifications are exact in every piece. This precision transforms varietal-specific glassware from interesting concept to reliable performance tool - ensuring that when you pour premium Chardonnay into a Veloce glass, you'll perceive the characteristics the winemaker intended and the terroir expressed, consistently, every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Riedel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527958171870,"sku":"P102263","price":49.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/6871\/0793\/products\/riedel-veloce-chardonnay-glasses-pair-stemware-157.jpg?v=1653568530"},{"product_id":"riedel-veloce-tasting-set-1x-cab-pinot-sauv-blanc-chard-pair-102265","title":"Riedel Veloce Tasting Set (1x Cab, Pinot, Sauv Blanc \u0026 Chard)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Riedel Veloce Glasses look and feel handmade! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Riedel Veloce Tasting set contains four machine blown, non-lead crystal glasses - Veloce Cabernet Sauvignon \/ Bordeaux, Veloce Montrachet \/ Oaked Chardonnay, Veloce Burgundy \/ Pinot Noir and Veloce Sauvignon Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fantastic gift, any wine lover would be delighted to receive this Riedel VeloceTasting Set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new glass collection is produced by machine, using new, cutting-edge technologies and is a true precision tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine-lovers the world over understand that Riedel wine glasses are developed in different shapes and sizes, for specific grape varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly such advanced machine production can guarantee such precise glass design language, in harmony with the respective profile of grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Riedel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527958597854,"sku":"102265","price":99.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/6871\/0793\/products\/riedel-veloce-tasting-set-1x-cab-pinot-sauv-blanc-chard-stemware-975.jpg?v=1681833810"},{"product_id":"riedel-veritas-tasting-set-red-wine-glasses-set-of-3","title":"Riedel Veritas Tasting Set Red Wine Glasses (Set of 3)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Riedel Veritas Tasting Set Red Wine Glasses (Set of 3) contains one Riedel Veritas Cabernet\/Merlot glass, one Riedel Veritas New World Pinot Noir\/Nebbiolo\/Rosé Champagne glass and one Riedel Veritas Old World Syrah glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorg Riedel challenged his world class glass makers to create from lead-free crystal, the finest and lightest machine blown glass ever made.

Available in sets of 2, 4, 6, or 8 glasses, the 700ml capacity and generous opening allow these wines to breathe whilst concentrating their subtle fruit and floral notes. The bowl shape directs wine to the tip of the tongue first, emphasising the sweet fruit characteristics of Pinot Noir whilst managing its naturally high acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design works particularly well for wines from Burgundy, Oregon, and New Zealand's Central Otago, as well as Italian Nebbiolo-based wines like Barolo and Barbaresco.

The wide bowl emphasises the delicate aromatics and fruit-forward characteristics of lighter-bodied red wines whilst managing their higher acidity. If you primarily drink full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah, consider the Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glass instead, which has a taller, narrower bowl better suited to tannic wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhich pack size should I choose?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe set of 2 suits couples or those starting their collection. The set of 4 provides better value per glass and covers most small gatherings. The set of 6 ensures you have enough for dinner parties without mixing glass styles, plus spares if breakages occur. The set of 8 offers the best per-glass value and is ideal if you entertain regularly or want to build a complete collection at once. Consider how often you entertain and whether you want uniformity when serving guests – the 4-pack offers a good balance between value and versatility for most households, whilst the 8-pack suits committed wine enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhy is the Pinot Noir glass wider than the Bordeaux glass?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003ePinot Noir and similar wines have delicate aromatics that benefit from a wider bowl with more oxygen exposure. The shape also directs wine to the tip of the tongue first, emphasising sweet fruit characteristics and balancing the naturally higher acidity of these wines. Full-bodied reds like Bordeaux blends have more tannin structure and benefit from a taller, narrower bowl that directs wine to the mid-palate instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWill 700ml capacity be enough for proper aeration?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eYes – the 700ml capacity is actually larger than the Bordeaux glass (610ml), providing even more room for swirling and aeration. For a standard 150-175ml pour, you'll have substantial headspace. The wide bowl maximises the wine's surface area contact with air, which is particularly important for aromatic wines that benefit from breathing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eAre these dishwasher safe?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eYes, Riedel Vinum glasses are dishwasher safe when used on a gentle cycle at maximum 55°C.

Never hold both the base and bowl at once – this can snap stems. For the bowl: hold the glass under the bowl with one cloth while polishing with another. For the base: hold it firmly in one hand while polishing with the other.

This includes red Burgundy, Barolo, Barbaresco, New World Pinot Noir, and similar delicate reds. The bowl shape captures ethereal aromas whilst directing wine to areas of your palate that soften acidity perception, enhancing the wine's fruit character.

It's more refined than Vinum with taller stems and finer bowls inspired by the Extreme collection, but more practical and robust than Veritas or Superleggero. The machine production with advanced technology delivers consistent quality at accessible pricing.

The bowl shape determines how aromatics collect and release, and how wine flows to different areas of your palate. A glass designed for Pinot Noir captures ethereal aromatics that might dissipate in a wide Bordeaux glass, whilst directing wine to emphasise fruit character rather than tannin or alcohol.

Both come from thinner-skinned grapes that produce wines prized for aromatic complexity, delicate fruit characteristics, and elegant structure rather than bold power. Pinot Noir from Burgundy offers red fruit notes, earthy complexity, and silky texture. Nebbiolo from Piedmont delivers floral aromatics, tar and rose characteristics, and structured tannins that soften with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese wines require glasses that capture and concentrate aromatics without overwhelming them. The Veloce Pinot Noir\/Nebbiolo glass provides the right bowl volume and shape to collect ethereal aromas - allowing you to appreciate the subtle complexities that define these wines. The rim diameter and bowl curvature direct wine to areas of your palate that emphasise fruit elegance whilst softening acidity perception, creating balance in wines that can taste sharp or austere in inappropriate glassware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you invest in quality Burgundy or Barolo, you're paying for subtlety and complexity.

Use a gentle cycle at maximum 55°C and space glasses so they don't touch each other or other items. The tall stem requires careful placement in the dishwasher - secure glasses in the upper rack where they won't knock against other items.

The 4-pack offers better value per glass - approximately £23.44 per glass versus £24.98 per glass in the pair.

It works excellently with Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, Gamay, and similar elegant reds. For fuller-bodied wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Syrah, you'll achieve better results with glasses designed for those varietals - the bowl shape and rim diameter significantly affect how you perceive wine characteristics.

The difference is most noticeable with delicate wines like Pinot Noir where aromatics and fruit elegance are key characteristics. For everyday wines under £15-20 per bottle, standard glasses work well. For wines where you're investing in nuance and complexity, the right glass shape makes an appreciable difference in what you perceive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhy does the printed grape variety matter?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eWhen building a varietal-specific glassware collection, the printed identification on the base eliminates guesswork. Instead of trying to remember which bowl shape suits which wine, you can simply check the base. This practical feature is particularly helpful when multiple people in your household use the glassware, when you're setting the table for guests, or when you're learning about varietal-specific glasses. It reinforces the educational aspect of understanding how glass shape affects wine perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f0f8ff; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 20px 0; border-left: 4px solid #557B97; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eBuilding a Varietal-Specific Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Veloce collection's approach to varietal-specific glassware - with grape varieties printed on the base - makes building a comprehensive collection more accessible. Rather than requiring extensive knowledge to identify which glass suits which wine, the printed identification provides immediate clarity. This educational element helps wine enthusiasts understand and appreciate how bowl shape affects wine perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting with a Pinot Noir\/Nebbiolo glass makes sense for many wine enthusiasts, as these delicate wines particularly benefit from appropriate glassware. The ethereal aromatics and subtle fruit characteristics that define Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo can disappear in glasses designed for bolder wines. Once you experience how the right glass reveals complexity in delicate wines, you may find yourself exploring other varietal-specific shapes for your favourite wine styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Veloce collection's dishwasher-safe convenience and accessible pricing make it practical to own multiple varietal-specific glasses without excessive investment or maintenance burden.

This pack of 12 glasses combines Riedel's varietal-specific design philosophy with the durability requirements of bars, restaurants, and hotels, providing professional wine service for Pinot Noir, Burgundy, and similar wines that demand generous bowl volume to express their complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiedel developed this glass with a wider, more voluminous bowl that allows Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo-based wines to breathe properly whilst concentrating their subtle fruit and floral notes. The 700ml capacity and 108mm diameter provide ample surface area for oxygen exposure, essential for these wines to express complexity. The bowl shape directs wine to the tip of the tongue first, emphasising the sweet fruit characteristics of Pinot Noir whilst managing its naturally high acidity.

The 700ml capacity and 108mm diameter provide the oxygen exposure these wines need to express their subtle fruit, floral, and earthy characteristics. Smaller glasses can make Pinot Noir taste thin, overly acidic, or closed. The wide bowl also allows the wine to breathe properly during service - critical for premium Burgundy that may arrive at the table with complex aromatics still developing. The bowl shape then concentrates these aromatics at the rim for optimal presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does the glass manage Pinot Noir's high acidity?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe bowl shape directs wine to the tip of the tongue first, where sweetness receptors dominate. This emphasises Pinot Noir's fruit characteristics and perceived sweetness, balancing against the grape's naturally high acidity. Without this geometry, Pinot Noir can taste sharp or overly tart, particularly in younger wines or cooler vintages. The wide bowl also allows aromatics to develop, which psychologically affects acidity perception - when you smell rich fruit and floral notes, the wine tastes more balanced even with the same actual acidity level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow many dishwasher cycles will these glasses survive?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eIndependent testing certifies these glasses for 1,000+ commercial dishwasher cycles under EN 12875-1\/2 standards with no demonstrable change to shine or quality.

Most modern commercial dishwashers accommodate this size in upper racks, but you'll need adequate spacing between glasses. The 215mm height fits standard racks comfortably.

The grape produces wines with delicate aromatics - red fruit, earth, mushroom, forest floor - that smaller glasses suppress entirely. High natural acidity can make Pinot Noir taste sharp or thin without proper presentation. The combination of delicate aromatics and high acidity means generic wine glasses often fail to showcase what customers are paying for, particularly problematic when serving premium Burgundy at £50-200+ per bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Restaurant Pinot Noir glass addresses these challenges through engineering developed specifically for light-bodied, high-acid reds. The 700ml capacity and 108mm diameter create genuine surface area for oxygen exposure - not just marketing claims. As Pinot Noir breathes in the glass, it develops complexity that distinguishes village Burgundy from generic Pinot Noir, and premier cru from village wines. The wide bowl captures these developing aromatics and concentrates them at the rim for delivery to the customer's nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tongue-direction geometry proves equally critical. By directing wine to the tip of the tongue first (where sweetness receptors dominate), the glass emphasises Pinot Noir's fruit characteristics whilst downplaying sharp acidity. This makes the wine taste more balanced and approachable without changing its actual composition - purely through presentation geometry. For restaurants building premium Burgundy programmes, this performance difference affects customer perception and satisfaction significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor hospitality operations, the combination of varietal-specific performance with EN 12875-1\/2 certification makes Restaurant Pinot Noir glasses economically viable. At £4.79 plus VAT per glass with 1,000+ cycle durability and 10-year expected lifespan, these glasses deliver professional Burgundy service at costs that make sense for commercial operations. The wide bowl requires careful dishwasher positioning, but this minor operational consideration pales beside the customer experience improvements when serving premium Pinot Noir properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Specifications --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Restaurant (On Premise)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pack of 12 glasses\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e £4.79 plus VAT per glass (£5.75 including VAT), £68.98 including VAT per pack of 12\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 215mm (21.5cm)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108mm (bowl diameter)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 182g per glass\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crystal glass\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide, voluminous bowl for light-bodied red wines\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir, Burgundy (red), Oregon Pinot Noir, New Zealand Central Otago, Nebbiolo, Barolo, Barbaresco, light-bodied red wines with high acidity\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified for 1,000+ cycles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Lifespan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 years under normal restaurant usage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional hospitality - bars, restaurants, hotels (trade-only)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Care \u0026 Maintenance --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Dishwasher Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Restaurant glasses are certified for commercial dishwasher operations under EN 12875-1\/2 standards. Use standard commercial dishwashing cycles with professional-grade detergent. The 108mm bowl diameter requires careful rack positioning - ensure adequate spacing so glasses don't contact other items during wash cycles. Position glasses securely to prevent tipping. Remove promptly and allow to air dry with racks open. Independent testing confirms 1,000+ cycle durability with no demonstrable quality deterioration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoading Best Practices:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wide Pinot Noir bowl needs more clearance than standard wine glasses. Plan rack loading to dedicate specific positions to these glasses, ensuring they don't knock against neighbouring items. The 215mm height fits standard commercial racks, but the 108mm diameter requires attention. Many operations find marking rack positions for Pinot Noir glasses prevents loading errors during busy service periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetergent Selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use commercial dishwasher detergent formulated for glassware. Avoid heavily abrasive compounds or those with excessive lemon scent, which can affect clarity over extended use. Quality detergent preserves the crystal brilliance essential for premium Burgundy presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandwashing (if preferred):\u003c\/strong\u003e If handwashing, use warm water with mild detergent. Hold glasses by the base, never twist the bowl whilst holding the stem. The wide bowl requires two-handed washing - support from underneath with one hand whilst cleaning the interior. Rinse thoroughly and air dry upright or polish immediately with lint-free cloth. However, these glasses are specifically engineered for machine washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService Considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir and Burgundy benefit from slight aeration before service. Consider pouring wine 5-10 minutes before serving to allow aromatics to develop in the wide bowl. The generous capacity means a standard 175ml pour appears appropriately sized without overwhelming the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store glasses upright in appropriate commercial racks or shelving. Never stack or store rim-down. The wide bowl requires more storage space than standard wine glasses - factor this into storage planning when ordering. The 182g weight per glass provides stability without excessive bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Trust \u0026 Business Information --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: rgba(85, 123, 151, 0.15); border: 1px solid #557B97; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"guarantees\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #557b97; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhy Buy From The Riedel Shop?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince establishing The Riedel Shop, we've specialised in Riedel glassware for both consumer and professional markets.

The 113mm diameter and 768ml capacity provide the oxygen exposure these delicate wines need to reveal their subtle fruit, floral, earthy, and spice characteristics. Smaller glasses can make Pinot Noir taste closed, thin, or overly acidic. The wide bowl also allows the wine to breathe during service - critical for premium Burgundy that may arrive at the table still developing its aromatics.

These thin-skinned grapes produce wines with ethereal aromatics - subtle red fruit, earth, forest floor, rose petals, tar, and spice - that generic stemware suppresses entirely. High natural acidity combined with delicate structure means inadequate glassware makes these wines taste sharp, thin, or closed. The challenge intensifies with premium bottles: when customers order village Burgundy at £80 or Barolo at £120, proper presentation becomes essential to justify pricing and demonstrate value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiedel's Veloce Pinot Noir glass addresses these challenges through sophisticated engineering focused on delicate, aromatic reds. The 113mm diameter and 768ml capacity create genuine surface area for oxygen exposure - not marketing claims. As Pinot Noir breathes in this glass, it develops the complexity that distinguishes premier cru from village wines, and grand cru from premier cru. The wide bowl captures these developing aromatics and concentrates them at the rim for delivery to the customer's nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate-direction geometry proves equally critical for managing acidity. Pinot Noir's naturally high acidity needs balancing against delicate fruit character - the wine should taste vibrant and fresh, not sharp or thin. By directing wine to areas of the palate that emphasise sweetness perception, the glass makes Pinot Noir taste more balanced and approachable whilst maintaining its essential character. This doesn't change the wine's composition; it changes how customers experience it through presentation geometry alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor hospitality operations with serious Burgundy or Nebbiolo programmes, Veloce Pinot Noir glasses represent optimal investment. The handmade appearance impresses customers ordering premium bottles, the commercial durability (1,500 cycles, 10+ years) satisfies operational requirements, and the varietal-specific performance justifies premium wine pricing by demonstrating proper service standards. The wide bowl requires careful dishwasher positioning, but this minor operational consideration pales beside the customer experience improvements when serving £100+ Burgundy properly. For upscale operations where Pinot Noir represents significant revenue, dedicated glasses aren't luxury - they're necessary infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Specifications --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Restaurant Veloce\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 6 glasses\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 768ml (27 oz)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 247mm (9¾ inches)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 113mm (4½ inches - rim diameter)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100mm (maximum achievable by machine production)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead-free crystal glass\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine-made using state-of-the-art stem-drawing technology\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide bowl designed for thin-skinned red grapes and delicate aromatics\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir, Burgundy (red), Nebbiolo, Barolo, Barbaresco, Gamay, Beaujolais, delicate red wines\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified for 1,500 cycles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Lifespan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10+ years under normal restaurant usage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional hospitality - bars, restaurants, hotels (trade-only)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Care \u0026 Maintenance --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Dishwasher Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veloce glasses are certified for commercial dishwasher operations under EN 12875-1\/2 standards for 1,500 cycles. Use standard commercial dishwashing cycles with professional-grade detergent. Despite the elegant, handmade appearance, these glasses withstand high-temperature cycles and aggressive detergents. The 113mm diameter bowl requires careful positioning in commercial dishwasher racks - ensure adequate spacing so glasses don't contact other items during wash cycles. Remove promptly and allow to air dry with racks open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoading Best Practices for Wide Bowls:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 113mm diameter is wider than standard wine glasses, requiring thoughtful rack positioning. Position glasses securely in racks designed for tall, wide-bowl stemware. The 100mm base provides stability, but the 247mm height and wide bowl need upper rack positioning in most commercial dishwashers with adequate clearance on all sides. Many operations find dedicating specific rack positions to Veloce Pinot Noir glasses prevents loading errors and ensures glasses don't knock together during wash cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling the Thin Stems:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veloce stems are drawn to handmade thickness for elegant appearance. Whilst certified for 1,500 commercial cycles, they require slightly more care during manual handling than standard Restaurant range. Train staff to hold glasses by the base when carrying multiple glasses or clearing tables, particularly given the wide bowl proportions which affect balance if held incorrectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetergent Selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use commercial dishwasher detergent formulated for fine glassware. The lead-free crystal maintains brilliance through aggressive washing, but quality detergent preserves optimal clarity essential for premium Burgundy presentation. Avoid heavily abrasive compounds or excessive lemon scent which can affect long-term surface quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService Considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir and Burgundy benefit from slight aeration before service. Consider pouring wine 5-10 minutes before serving to allow aromatics to develop in the wide bowl.

Most modern commercial dishwashers accommodate this size in upper racks with adequate spacing. Plan rack loading to prevent the wide bowl from contacting other items during wash cycles.

If your list features significant Burgundy, Barolo, or premium Pinot Noir alongside Cabernet and Bordeaux, stocking both provides optimal service for both wine styles.

Breakage rates typically run 12-18% annually for Pinot Noir glasses (versus 10-15% for standard wine glasses) due to the wider bowl dimensions. Most breakage results from handling accidents during busy service rather than dishwasher damage. Proper staff training on handling wide-bowl stemware maintains reasonable breakage rates whilst delivering premium Burgundy presentation. Budget approximately 2-3 replacement sets annually for typical operations serving significant Pinot Noir volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Riedel","offers":[{"title":"6 Pack","offer_id":56979098599807,"sku":"WP102470","price":76.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/6871\/0793\/files\/633000007_thumbnail-oA6e49as.jpg?v=1744026421"},{"product_id":"riedel-restaurant-veloce-chardonnay-glasses","title":"Riedel Restaurant Veloce Chardonnay Glasses (6 Pack)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\"\u003e \u003cmeta name=\"description\" content=\"Riedel Restaurant Veloce Chardonnay glasses (pack of 6) - 690ml capacity, 247mm height.

It performs excellently for Chardonnay (particularly oaked styles from Burgundy, California, Australia), white Burgundy (Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet), Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne, and similar rich whites. The 113mm diameter and 690ml capacity provide the space these wines need to reveal layered complexity whilst the bowl geometry balances richness against freshness. For crisp, aromatic whites with high acidity (Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Albariño), different geometry works better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhy does full-bodied Chardonnay need a large glass?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eFull-bodied Chardonnay produces complex aromatics from multiple sources - fruit character, oak influence (vanilla, toast, spice), malolactic fermentation (butter, cream), and mineral backbone. These layers need volume to develop and integrate properly. The 690ml capacity and wide bowl provide the oxygen exposure that allows oak to integrate with fruit rather than dominating, and permits the rich, viscous texture to reveal itself without becoming heavy or flabby. Smaller glasses can make full-bodied Chardonnay taste closed or overwhelmingly oaky without the balancing elements showing properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does this glass balance richness and freshness?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eFull-bodied Chardonnay can taste heavy or flabby without proper presentation. The diamond-shaped bowl allows rich, textured qualities to develop whilst maintaining perception of freshness and minerality that balance these wines. The geometry directs wine across the palate in ways that emphasise both richness and acidity, preventing the wine from tasting one-dimensional. This balance proves critical for premium white Burgundy where you're paying for complexity and elegance, not just power and oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does Veloce Chardonnay differ from standard Restaurant Viognier\/Chardonnay?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eVeloce represents Riedel's premium machine-made technology with handmade appearance. The glasses feature taller height (247mm versus 203mm for standard Restaurant), thinner stems drawn using state-of-the-art equipment matching master glassmaker quality, and finer bowls with more elegant proportions. The 113mm diameter provides significantly more bowl width than standard Restaurant Viognier\/Chardonnay (79mm). Veloce is certified for 1,500 dishwasher cycles versus 1,000 for standard Restaurant - 50% more durability. The result: handmade elegance with superior commercial performance at premium positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow many dishwasher cycles will these glasses survive?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eIndependent testing certifies Veloce glasses for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles under EN 12875-1\/2 standards with no visible deterioration of glass surface. This represents 50% more durability than standard Restaurant range (1,000 cycles). In normal restaurant usage, 1,500 cycles corresponds to approximately 10+ years of service life. The lead-free crystal construction and advanced manufacturing technology provide genuine commercial durability despite the elegant, handmade appearance and wide bowl proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Expert Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #557B97; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 20px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eThe Challenge of Serving Full-Bodied Whites\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull-bodied Chardonnay and white Burgundy present unique service challenges that differentiate them from crisp, aromatic whites. These wines derive complexity from multiple sources: fruit character, oak influence through barrel fermentation and ageing, malolactic fermentation adding buttery richness, lees contact contributing texture and complexity, and mineral backbone from quality terroir. Generic white wine glasses designed for crisp, aromatic styles suppress these layered characteristics, making full-bodied Chardonnay taste either overwhelmingly oaky or simply heavy without the balancing elements showing properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiedel's Veloce Chardonnay addresses these challenges through engineering focused on texture, complexity, and integration. The 113mm diameter and 690ml capacity create genuine volume for oxygen exposure - as full-bodied Chardonnay breathes in this glass, oak integrates with fruit rather than dominating, buttery richness balances against mineral backbone, and the rich, viscous texture reveals itself without becoming heavy or flabby. The diamond shape captures and concentrates these developing aromatics whilst the bowl geometry directs wine across the palate to emphasise both richness and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wide bowl proves particularly critical for premium white Burgundy where customers are paying £80-300+ per bottle for complexity and elegance. Village-level white Burgundy should taste rich but balanced; premier cru wines add layers of complexity; grand cru bottles demonstrate terroir distinction through mineral character that anchors richness. Without proper glassware, these distinctions disappear - everything tastes like generic oaky Chardonnay. The Veloce Chardonnay glass reveals what customers are paying for through presentation that allows complexity to develop properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor hospitality operations with serious white Burgundy or premium Chardonnay programmes, dedicated glassware for full-bodied whites represents essential infrastructure rather than luxury. The handmade appearance impresses customers ordering £150 white Burgundy, the commercial durability (1,500 cycles, 10+ years) satisfies operational requirements, and the varietal-specific performance justifies pricing by demonstrating proper service standards. The wide bowl requires careful dishwasher positioning, but this minor operational consideration pales beside the customer experience improvements when serving premium Chardonnay and white Burgundy that actually taste like what they cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Specifications --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Restaurant Veloce\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 6 glasses\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 690ml (24¼ oz)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 247mm (9¾ inches)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 113mm (4½ inches - rim diameter)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100mm (maximum achievable by machine production)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead-free crystal glass\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine-made using state-of-the-art stem-drawing technology\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond-shaped bowl for full-bodied white wines\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay (oaked styles), white Burgundy, Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne, full-bodied white wines\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified for 1,500 cycles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Lifespan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10+ years under normal restaurant usage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional hospitality - bars, restaurants, hotels (trade-only)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Care \u0026 Maintenance --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Dishwasher Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veloce glasses are certified for commercial dishwasher operations under EN 12875-1\/2 standards for 1,500 cycles. Use standard commercial dishwashing cycles with professional-grade detergent. Despite the elegant, handmade appearance, these glasses withstand high-temperature cycles and aggressive detergents. The 113mm diameter bowl requires careful positioning in commercial dishwasher racks - ensure adequate spacing so glasses don't contact other items during wash cycles. Remove promptly and allow to air dry with racks open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoading Best Practices for Wide Bowls:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 113mm diameter is wider than standard white wine glasses, requiring thoughtful rack positioning. Position glasses securely in racks designed for tall, wide-bowl stemware. The 100mm base provides stability, but the 247mm height and wide bowl need upper rack positioning in most commercial dishwashers with adequate clearance on all sides. Many operations find dedicating specific rack positions to Veloce Chardonnay glasses prevents loading errors and ensures glasses don't knock together during wash cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling the Thin Stems:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veloce stems are drawn to handmade thickness for elegant appearance. Whilst certified for 1,500 commercial cycles, they require slightly more care during manual handling than standard Restaurant range. Train staff to hold glasses by the base when carrying multiple glasses or clearing tables, particularly given the wide bowl proportions which affect balance if held incorrectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Service:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied Chardonnay and white Burgundy serve at 10-12°C - warmer than crisp whites but cooler than room temperature. This temperature range allows complexity to develop whilst maintaining freshness. Consider chilling glasses slightly or rinsing with cool water before service to help maintain appropriate temperature, particularly in warm dining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService Considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pour a standard 175ml serving - roughly one-quarter full. The 690ml capacity provides generous headspace for complex aromatics to develop and concentrate. Full-bodied Chardonnay benefits from slight aeration in the glass; consider pouring 5-10 minutes before service to allow the wine to open properly and oak to integrate with fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store glasses upright in appropriate commercial racks with adequate clearance for both the 247mm height and 113mm diameter bowl. Never stack or store rim-down. The elegant proportions, thin stems, and wide bowls benefit from storage systems designed specifically for fine, large-bowl stemware rather than general-purpose racks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Trust \u0026 Business Information --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: rgba(85, 123, 151, 0.15); border: 1px solid #557B97; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\" id=\"guarantees\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #557b97; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhy Buy From The Riedel Shop?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince establishing The Riedel Shop, we've specialised in Riedel glassware for both consumer and professional markets.

Where a small or narrow glass constrains and concentrates oaked Chardonnay, forcing the oak and alcohol to the foreground, the 0449\/97 takes the opposite approach: a generous 620ml bowl and a wide 108mm open rim that give the wine room to breathe, the aromatics room to unfold, and the drinker the experience of finesse rather than weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe large bowl volume allows the multi-layered aromas of serious oaked Chardonnay to develop fully before reaching the nose. The wide open rim then diffuses the bouquet gently on delivery, preventing rich styles from becoming over-concentrated and integrating richness with acidity across a broader section of the palate. The result is a glass that presents oaked Chardonnay, white Burgundy, and barrel-fermented whites at their most balanced and complete. Recommended wines include Corton-Charlemagne, Meursault, Montrachet, Pouilly-Fuisse, oaked Morillon, and dry Riesling Spatlese. Fine-blown from lead-free crystal, Restaurant Veritas achieves the refined feel of handmade stemware with machine-made precision, certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles under EN 12875-1\/2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eKey features of the Riedel Restaurant Veritas Oaked Chardonnay glass:\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenerous 620ml bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides the volume for multi-layered aromatics to develop fully before reaching the nose, revealing the complexity and depth that distinguishes serious oaked Chardonnay from lighter white wine styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide 108mm open rim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows the rich bouquet to diffuse gently, emphasising finesse and preventing fuller styles from becoming heavy or over-concentrated on the nose and palate\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad palate delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The open aperture delivers wine across a wide section of the palate, integrating richness and acidity harmoniously and making the wine feel more balanced than a narrow rim would allow\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite Burgundy grands crus ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specifically recommended for Corton-Charlemagne, Meursault, Montrachet, and Pouilly-Fuisse, where the bowl volume allows the layered complexity of aged white Burgundy to fully express itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile across full-bodied whites:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works equally well for oaked Morillon, barrel-fermented whites, and dry Riesling Spatlese, making it a practical single glass for serious white wine programmes\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine-blown lead-free crystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Achieves the delicate appearance and light feel of handmade stemware with machine-made precision and commercial consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1,500-cycle commercial certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified for 1,500 dishwasher cycles, 50% more durable than the standard Restaurant range, corresponding to 10+ years of typical restaurant service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade-only set of 6:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exclusively available to hospitality operations including bars, restaurants, hotels, and catering businesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis glass is the natural choice for restaurants, hotels, and wine bars with serious Chardonnay or white Burgundy programmes, and for any operation where full-bodied, complex white wines feature prominently on the list.

Oaked Chardonnay is a different wine in structural terms: it has body, fat texture, oak-derived vanilla and spice, lees-derived creaminess, and often considerable alcohol alongside its fruit. In a smaller or narrower glass, those elements compress together and the oak and alcohol dominate. The 0449\/97's large bowl and wide open rim separate those layers and let them develop individually, which is what transforms a glass of white Burgundy from impressive to genuinely memorable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eIs this the right glass for village-level white Burgundy as well as grands crus?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eYes. The 0449\/97 is suited to any white Burgundy with genuine aromatic complexity and body, from village Meursault upward. Entry-level Macon or Chablis without oak influence may be slightly over-glassed in a bowl this size, but for any Burgundy where barrel fermentation or ageing is part of the production, the extra volume rewards the wine rather than overwhelms it. If your list spans the full range from Chablis to Montrachet, the 0449\/97 is the appropriate glass for the oaked and more complex end of that spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhy is dry Riesling Spatlese recommended for a glass designed around oak?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eDry Riesling Spatlese from Germany or Alsace is a high-intensity white wine with considerable body, concentration, and aromatic complexity, even without oak. The petrol, stone fruit, and mineral character of a mature dry Spatlese can be overwhelming in a small glass. The generous bowl of the 0449\/97 gives those aromatics room to diffuse and layer, and the wide rim prevents the wine's inherent intensity from dominating on delivery. The glass is designed for full-bodied, complex white wines in general; oak is one route to that intensity, but not the only one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eDoes the large bowl cause the wine to warm up too quickly?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe bowl is not intended to be filled more than roughly a third (125-175ml). At that pour level, the wine is not sitting exposed across a vast surface. Oaked Chardonnay and white Burgundy also serve slightly warmer than everyday whites, around 12-14°C, so a gradual temperature rise during the course of drinking is appropriate rather than a problem. Serving the wine slightly cool from a temperature-controlled cellar and using standard pour sizes keeps the experience correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow many dishwasher cycles are these glasses certified for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eRiedel Restaurant Veritas glasses are independently certified to EN 12875-1\/2 standards for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles with no visible deterioration.

A standard medium bowl, the assumption goes, will do for everything from house Pinot Grigio to aged white Burgundy. The Riedel Veritas Oaked Chardonnay glass exists to challenge that assumption directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eWhite Burgundy grands crus are among the most expensive wines on the planet. A bottle of Montrachet or Corton-Charlemagne at the table represents a significant revenue opportunity and a significant moment of trust from the customer. Presenting that wine in a generic white wine glass is a missed opportunity: the wine will still be good, but it will not be as good as it could be. The generous bowl and open rim of the 0449\/97 transform the experience by giving the wine the space its complexity demands, which is precisely what a customer paying a premium price expects, even if they cannot articulate why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe same logic applies further down the list. Operations with strong New World Chardonnay programmes, whether California, Margaret River, or Burgundy-inspired styles from elsewhere, are serving wines designed around oak integration, lees character, and textural richness. A small, narrow glass forces those elements to compete rather than harmonise. The 0449\/97 creates harmony by design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eBeyond Chardonnay and Burgundy, the glass works well for any full-bodied, aromatic white: barrel-fermented Semillon, white Rhone blends with bottle age, oaked white Rioja, and structured Viognier all benefit from the same treatment. For operations that want a single, serious white wine glass capable of serving the full breadth of their premium white list, the 0449\/97 is a logical and commercially sound choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003c!-- Specifications --\u003e\n \u003cdiv id=\"specs-chard\" style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n \u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Restaurant Veritas\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU \/ Item Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0449\/97\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 6 glasses\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 620ml (21 7\/8 oz)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 217mm (8 5\/9 inches)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108mm (4 1\/4 inches)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead-free crystal glass\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine-made, fine-blown and lightweight\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generous bowl with wide open rim\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oaked Chardonnay, white Burgundy, Corton-Charlemagne, Meursault, Montrachet, Pouilly-Fuisse, oaked Morillon, dry Riesling Spatlese\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified for 1,500 cycles\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Lifespan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10+ years under normal restaurant usage\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional hospitality, bars, restaurants, hotels (trade-only)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003c!-- Care \u0026 Maintenance --\u003e\n \u003cdiv id=\"care-chard\" style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n \u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Dishwasher Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veritas glasses are certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles under EN 12875-1\/2.

The defining innovation is the optic impact: a series of precision-pressed facets in the bowl that are both a design feature and a functional one. The facets increase the inner surface area of the bowl beyond what a smooth glass of equivalent volume provides, which means more wine in contact with more air at any given moment, faster aromatic development, and a more complete expression of the wine from an earlier point in the pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003ePerformance was co-designed by Georg and Maximilian Riedel and represents the first time Riedel has incorporated this light-refracting bowl technology into any of their ranges. The Pinot Noir shape at 830ml with a 108mm rim is calibrated specifically for Pinot Noir, Burgundy, Barbaresco, Gamay, Spatburgunder: The tulip shape and slightly flared lip work together to highlight the sweetness and red fruit of Pinot Noir on entry while the 108mm bowl gives the wine's full aromatic complexity room to develop. The optic impact faceting brings the grape's characteristic delicacy forward. Machine-made in lead-free crystal with long fine stems and large stable bases, certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, and sold in sets of 6 for professional restaurant use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eKey features of the Riedel Restaurant Performance Pinot Noir Glass:\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptic impact faceted bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-pressed facets in the bowl increase the inner surface area, accelerating aromatic development and bringing forward the full complexity of the wine faster than a smooth bowl of equivalent volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge tulip-shaped 108mm bowl with flared lip and optic impact faceting; designed to highlight sweetness and fruit while balancing acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCo-designed by Georg and Maximilian Riedel:\u003c\/strong\u003e The first Riedel series to incorporate optic impact bowl technology, developed through hands-on workshops with winemakers to validate the design for each varietal shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong fine stem and large stable base:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Performance aesthetic: elegant proportion with a practical base that resists tip-over on the restaurant table\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMachine-made precision crystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel describes Performance as \"premium machine-made\" to reflect the precision consistency of the production process\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCovers Pinot Noir (New World and Old World), Burgundy, Barbaresco, Barbera, light-bodied Gamay, Spatburgunder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1,500-cycle dishwasher certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified for sustained commercial restaurant service\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet of 6, trade-only:\u003c\/strong\u003e Restaurant-format case quantity; consumer versions available in sets of 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv id=\"qa-0884-67\" style=\"background: rgba(85,123,151,0.15); border-left: 4px solid #557B97; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 20px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n \u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eWhat Restaurant Professionals Ask About This Glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhat exactly is the optic impact and how does it work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe optic impact is a series of precision-pressed facets moulded into the bowl of the glass during production. They are visible as subtle ribs or ridges in the crystal that catch and refract light, which gives the bowl its distinctive visual character. Functionally, the facets increase the inner surface area of the bowl: more glass surface means more wine-to-air contact at any given liquid level, which accelerates the release of aromatic compounds and brings the wine's full aromatic complexity forward faster than a smooth bowl of equivalent volume. For a Pinot Noir with significant aromatic complexity, this is the difference between a wine that needs ten minutes in the glass to open and one that shows its full character from the first pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does Performance compare to the standard Riedel Restaurant range?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eBoth ranges are machine-made and varietal-specific, but they operate at different levels. The Restaurant range (0446 series) is Riedel's benchmark commercial glass: well-designed, durable, correctly shaped for each variety, and priced for broad trade adoption. Performance adds the optic impact bowl technology, the co-design input of Georg and Maximilian Riedel specifically for the range, and a more refined aesthetic with the long fine stem and large stable base. It is the appropriate upgrade for operations where the wine programme is a significant part of the guest experience and where the glassware is expected to communicate that seriousness visually as well as functionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eDoes the optic impact affect how the glass cleans in the dishwasher?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe facets do not trap residue or impair cleaning in a correctly maintained commercial dishwasher. The Performance range carries the same EN 12875-1\/2 certification for 1,500 cycles as other Riedel machine-made ranges. The one practical consideration is drying: the facets can hold water droplets more than a smooth bowl, which means more visible water marks if the glass is not dried promptly after the cycle. Remove from the rack as soon as the cycle ends and allow to air dry standing upright, or polish with a lint-free cloth before service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eIs Performance available in sets of 12 for high-volume operations?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe Restaurant Performance range is boxed in sets of 6, which reflects its positioning as a step up from the entry-level Restaurant range rather than a high-volume house glass.

Its aromatic complexity, the red cherry, earth, forest floor, and spice that characterise great Burgundy, is fragile and volatile: too wide a bowl dissipates it, too narrow a bowl compresses it, and the wrong delivery angle on the palate emphasises the acidity over the fruit in a way that makes the wine feel thinner than it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe Performance Pinot Noir glass addresses all three concerns simultaneously. The large 108mm tulip-shaped bowl gives the wine's aromatics the maximum development space within the glass, allowing the full complexity of a village Burgundy or a serious New World Pinot to unfold before reaching the nose. The slightly flared lip directs the wine to the tip and front of the palate on entry, where the fruit sweetness registers first, which balances the acidity and allows the wine to present as complete and harmonious rather than lean or acidic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe optic impact faceting adds the Performance-specific advantage: the increased inner surface area brings the wine's aromatic volatiles into contact with more air faster, which is particularly valuable for Pinot Noir, where the secondary earthy and spice notes take longer to emerge than the primary fruit. The result is a glass where Pinot Noir shows what it can be from an earlier point in the pour, and where the full expression of the wine is accessible without requiring decanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv id=\"specs-0884-67\" style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n \u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel Restaurant Performance\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU \/ Item Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0884\/67\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 6 glasses\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 830ml (28 oz)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 245mm (9 5\/8\")\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108mm (4 1\/4\")\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead-free crystal glass\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium machine-made\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optic impact faceted bowl; increases inner surface area for enhanced aromatic development\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large tulip-shaped 108mm bowl with flared lip and optic impact faceting; designed to highlight sweetness and fruit while balancing acidity\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCo-designed By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Georg and Maximilian Riedel\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir (New World and Old World), Burgundy, Barbaresco, Barbera, light-bodied Gamay, Spatburgunder\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified for 1,500 cycles\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpected Lifespan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10+ years under normal restaurant usage\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional restaurant and bar use (trade-only)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv id=\"care-0884-67\" style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n \u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Dishwasher Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles under EN 12875-1\/2.

The defining innovation is the optic impact: a series of precision-pressed facets in the bowl that are both a design feature and a functional one. The facets increase the inner surface area of the bowl beyond what a smooth glass of equivalent volume provides, which means more wine in contact with more air at any given moment, faster aromatic development, and a more complete expression of the wine from an earlier point in the pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003ePerformance was co-designed by Georg and Maximilian Riedel and represents the first time Riedel has incorporated this light-refracting bowl technology into any of their ranges. The Chardonnay shape at 727ml with a 108mm rim is calibrated specifically for Chardonnay, White Burgundy, Chablis, Meursault, Viognier: The 108mm bowl provides the generous surface area that Chardonnay's textural richness requires, with the optic impact faceting accelerating aromatic development and bringing forward the grape's full range from the mineral precision of Chablis to the creamy richness of oaked Meursault. Machine-made in lead-free crystal with long fine stems and large stable bases, certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, and sold in sets of 6 for professional restaurant use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eKey features of the Riedel Restaurant Performance Chardonnay Glass:\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptic impact faceted bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-pressed facets in the bowl increase the inner surface area, accelerating aromatic development and bringing forward the full complexity of the wine faster than a smooth bowl of equivalent volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge 108mm bowl with optic impact faceting; designed for the full aromatic and textural range of Chardonnay from lean mineral Chablis to rich oaked Burgundy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCo-designed by Georg and Maximilian Riedel:\u003c\/strong\u003e The first Riedel series to incorporate optic impact bowl technology, developed through hands-on workshops with winemakers to validate the design for each varietal shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong fine stem and large stable base:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Performance aesthetic: elegant proportion with a practical base that resists tip-over on the restaurant table\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMachine-made precision crystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riedel describes Performance as \"premium machine-made\" to reflect the precision consistency of the production process\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCovers Chardonnay (oaked and unoaked), White Burgundy, Chablis, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Viognier, White Rhone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1,500-cycle dishwasher certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 12875-1\/2 certified for sustained commercial restaurant service\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet of 6, trade-only:\u003c\/strong\u003e Restaurant-format case quantity; consumer versions available in sets of 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv id=\"qa-0884-97\" style=\"background: rgba(85,123,151,0.15); border-left: 4px solid #557B97; padding: 15px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 20px 0; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n \u003ch3 style=\"color: #557b97; margin-top: 0; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eWhat Restaurant Professionals Ask About This Glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eWhat exactly is the optic impact and how does it work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe optic impact is a series of precision-pressed facets moulded into the bowl of the glass during production. They are visible as subtle ribs or ridges in the crystal that catch and refract light, which gives the bowl its distinctive visual character. Functionally, the facets increase the inner surface area of the bowl: more glass surface means more wine-to-air contact at any given liquid level, which accelerates the release of aromatic compounds and brings the wine's full aromatic complexity forward faster than a smooth bowl of equivalent volume. For a Chardonnay with significant aromatic complexity, this is the difference between a wine that needs ten minutes in the glass to open and one that shows its full character from the first pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eHow does Performance compare to the standard Riedel Restaurant range?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eBoth ranges are machine-made and varietal-specific, but they operate at different levels. The Restaurant range (0446 series) is Riedel's benchmark commercial glass: well-designed, durable, correctly shaped for each variety, and priced for broad trade adoption. Performance adds the optic impact bowl technology, the co-design input of Georg and Maximilian Riedel specifically for the range, and a more refined aesthetic with the long fine stem and large stable base. It is the appropriate upgrade for operations where the wine programme is a significant part of the guest experience and where the glassware is expected to communicate that seriousness visually as well as functionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eDoes the optic impact affect how the glass cleans in the dishwasher?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe facets do not trap residue or impair cleaning in a correctly maintained commercial dishwasher. The Performance range carries the same EN 12875-1\/2 certification for 1,500 cycles as other Riedel machine-made ranges. The one practical consideration is drying: the facets can hold water droplets more than a smooth bowl, which means more visible water marks if the glass is not dried promptly after the cycle. Remove from the rack as soon as the cycle ends and allow to air dry standing upright, or polish with a lint-free cloth before service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #557B97; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px; box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; background: white;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; color: #557b97; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px 0; min-height: 44px; display: flex; align-items: center;\"\u003eIs Performance available in sets of 12 for high-volume operations?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe Restaurant Performance range is boxed in sets of 6, which reflects its positioning as a step up from the entry-level Restaurant range rather than a high-volume house glass.

At one end: Chablis, lean, mineral, with the distinctive chalk and oyster-shell character of the Kimmeridgian limestone that defines the appellation. At the other: oaked Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet, rich with butter, cream, hazelnut, and the density that extended lees ageing and barrel fermentation produce. Between them, the full range of New World Chardonnay from Burgundian-styled restraint to the riper, more generous fruit character of warmer climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe Performance Chardonnay glass at 108mm and 727ml is designed to serve this full range correctly. The bowl volume is large enough to contain Chardonnay's textural richness without losing it at the rim, and the optic impact faceting brings forward the aromatic complexity of the grape at every expression: the citrus and mineral of unoaked styles, the stone fruit and vanilla of lightly oaked wines, the full cream and nutty complexity of serious white Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFor operations with a white Burgundy list, this glass handles the full range from Chablis village through premier cru to grand cru in a single shape, which simplifies service without compromising the presentation of any wine in the range.

When you drink from a glass with a flared rim, the wine first contacts the very tip and front edge of the tongue rather than the middle or back. The tip and front edge is where sweetness sensitivity is highest. By directing the wine there first, the flared lip presents Pinot Noir's cherry fruit sweetness as the first palate impression, which frames the acidity that follows as freshness and makes the wine feel more generous and balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom:15px;border:1px solid #557B97;border-radius:5px;padding:15px;background:white;box-sizing:border-box;width:100%;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;color:#557b97;font-size:16px;padding:5px 0;min-height:44px;display:flex;align-items:center;\"\u003eIs this glass also appropriate for Old World Burgundy?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eYes. The tulip shape and flared lip that work for New World Pinot Noir work equally well for Burgundy. New World Pinot tends to be more fruit-forward and immediately accessible; Old World Burgundy tends to be more restrained in fruit, higher in earth and mineral character, and more complex in its secondary aromatics. Both benefit from a large bowl and a flared lip that presents the fruit before the acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom:15px;border:1px solid #557B97;border-radius:5px;padding:15px;background:white;box-sizing:border-box;width:100%;\"\u003e\n \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;color:#557b97;font-size:16px;padding:5px 0;min-height:44px;display:flex;align-items:center;\"\u003eHow does this compare to the Extreme Pinot Noir glass (0454\/07)?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eThe Restaurant New World Pinot Noir (0447\/07) is 850ml with a tulip bowl and flared lip, part of the benchmark Restaurant varietal-specific range.

The Willamette Valley workshops brought Oregon producers into direct conversation with the glass design process, and the tulip shape with its slightly flared lip is the product of that conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe specific insight from those workshops — that Pinot Noir's irresistible sweetness is its defining appeal and that the glass should present it first — is the engineering brief that produced the flared lip. The flare is subtle enough to be invisible to a casual observer, but its effect on the palate delivery of the wine is perceptible from the first sip: the cherry fruit comes first, the acidity follows as freshness, and the wine presents as more generous and harmonious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFor operations with Pinot Noir as a key element of the wine list, this is the glass that was designed in collaboration with the people who make the wine.
