Riedel Crystal History

Claus Riedel (9th Riedel generation) changed the world of wine with his revolutionary concept of functional stemware. He led the way for increased wine enjoyment. He was the first in history to recognize the effect of the shape of a glass on perception and drinking pleasure of alcoholic beverages Over 40 years ago he detected that the same wine tasted dissimilar out of different glasses.

Georg Riedel (10th generation) further developed the concept. He discovered that the content commands the shape, whose consequence was: the correct choice of glass enhances the flavors of wines. The delivery of a wine's "message", its bouquet and taste, depends on the form of the glass. It is the responsibility of a glass to convey the wine's messages in the best manner to the human senses.

Riedel offers the finest instruments when it comes to enjoying wine and spirits. The extensive range is layered by sophistication and price category.

Riedel provides the world's only "Vitrum-Vinothek", by creating glasses that deliver the typical components of a grape variety, highlighting the balanced flavors, maximizing the fruit and integrating acidity or tannins into the overall pleasure of wine.

The findings and work of two generations are reflected by the designs of Riedel's gourmet glass lines. Conclusion?

Riedel glasses are a wine's best friend.
