Riedel Restaurant Veritas New World Pinot Noir / Nebbiolo / Rosé Champagne Glass
The Riedel Restaurant Veritas New World Pinot Noir / Nebbiolo / Rosé Champagne glass (0449/67) is a varietal-specific design developed across multiple workshops with producers from Oregon - one of the world's benchmark regions for Pinot Noir. The result is a tulip bowl with a slightly flared lip that does something a standard red wine glass cannot: it isolates the irresistible fruit sweetness of New World Pinot Noir, brings acidity into balance, and actively de-emphasises alcohol, delivering a clear, complete picture of the wine in the glass.
The 800ml bowl allows the complete bouquet of fragrant, complex aromatics to develop fully before reaching the nose. The flared lip then directs wine precisely to the front palate - the area most sensitive to sweetness and fruit - creating the harmonious tasting experience that this style of wine promises. 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. Each glass is independently certified for 1,500 dishwasher cycles - 10+ years of service life under normal restaurant usage.

What Hospitality Professionals Ask About This Glass
Why a tulip shape with a flared lip for Pinot Noir?
New World Pinot Noir is defined by ripe, generous fruit - red cherry, strawberry, raspberry - alongside silky tannins and moderate acidity. A standard large red wine bowl with an inward-curving rim collects aromatics well but delivers wine across the whole palate simultaneously, where acidity and alcohol can dominate. 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.
How does this glass work for Nebbiolo and Rosé Champagne?
Nebbiolo (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.
How does this glass differ from the Old World Pinot Noir (0449/07)?
Both 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. If your list spans both, stocking both shapes allows you to serve each style in its ideal glass.
Does the large bowl make wine warm up too quickly?
The bowl is large but is not intended to be filled more than a quarter to a third (125-150ml). 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 aromatic and palate benefits of the large bowl far outweigh any marginal temperature consideration, particularly when glasses are stored at ambient temperature and wine is served slightly cool from a temperature-controlled cellar or cooler.
How many dishwasher cycles are these glasses certified for?
Riedel Restaurant Veritas glasses are independently certified to EN 12875-1/2 standards for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles with no visible deterioration - 50% greater durability than the standard Restaurant range. Under typical restaurant usage, this corresponds to 10+ years of service life.
New World vs Old World: Why the Distinction Matters on the Glass List
Riedel's Veritas collection broke new ground in 2014 by doing something no major glassware range had attempted before: differentiating between New World and Old World expressions of the same grape variety within a single collection. 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.
The 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.
The 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.
For 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.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Commercial Dishwasher Use: Veritas glasses are certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles under EN 12875-1/2 standards. The 108mm widest diameter fits standard commercial dishwasher racks comfortably. Use standard commercial cycles with professional-grade detergent. Remove promptly and allow to air dry to prevent water spotting on the crystal.
Serving Temperature: New World Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo serve best at 14-16°C - slightly cooler than room temperature. Rosé Champagne at 6-8°C. The large bowl warms wine gradually from cool, which is appropriate; avoid over-chilling still red wines below 12°C or they will appear closed and tight on the nose.
Pour Size: Pour 125-150ml - one quarter to one third of the bowl. The 800ml capacity is designed to leave generous headspace for aromatics to develop; resist the temptation to over-pour. A standard 125ml service pour leaves the bowl approximately 15% full, which is correct for this glass.
Handling: Fine-blown crystal is lighter and more refined than standard commercial stemware. Train staff to hold glasses by the stem or base. The construction is certified for commercial use but benefits from standard care around racking, handling, and storage.
Storage: Store upright with adequate height clearance for 235mm. Never stack or store rim-down. The tulip shape makes these relatively stable in standard glass racks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses typically takes 3-5 working days. For hospitality operations requiring urgent delivery, contact us to discuss expedited shipping options.
Can I return glasses if they don't suit our operation?
We offer a no quibble return guarantee on unopened sets in original packaging. We recommend ordering one set to trial with your wine programme before committing to larger quantities.
Should we use this glass for both New World and Old World Pinot Noir?
The 0449/67 is optimised for New World styles. If your list spans both New World and Burgundy-style Pinot, consider pairing it with the Old World Pinot Noir glass (0449/07) to serve each style in its ideal shape. If your list is predominantly New World, the 0449/67 works well as a single Pinot glass.
Can home users purchase Veritas Restaurant glasses?
No - the Restaurant Veritas collection is trade-only. Home users seeking the same varietal-specific shape should consider the consumer Riedel Veritas range (6449/67), available without trade restrictions.
Do you offer volume discounts for larger groups?
For hospitality groups requiring multiple sets (typically 10+ sets for venue refits or multi-site operations), contact us to discuss volume pricing and delivery arrangements.
What is the expected annual breakage rate?
Breakage rates typically run 10-13% annually with properly trained staff. The 108mm diameter and tulip shape make these glasses straightforward to handle during service. The refined feel of fine-blown crystal encourages careful handling. Proper training maintains reasonable breakage rates whilst delivering the wine experience that serious programmes demand.
Is this a good glass for serving Barolo and Barbaresco?
Yes - Nebbiolo (Barolo, Barbaresco) is one of the primary recommended varietals for this glass. The large bowl aerates the wine as it's poured, helping to soften Nebbiolo's powerful tannins, whilst the flared lip leads with fruit and floral aromatics rather than tannin and astringency. For modern-style or warmer-vintage Barolo in particular, this glass presents the wine at its most approachable and enjoyable.
