Riedel Extreme

These glasses are specifically designed for full-bodied, tannin-rich red wines. The diamond-shaped bowl is engineered to highlight the fruit-forward characteristics of New World wines while helping to soften and balance firm tannins.

The extreme angles of the bowl provide a larger surface area for the wine to breathe. This increased aeration helps the wine develop its complex aromas more quickly, allowing the bouquet to open up effectively.

Yes, the Riedel Extreme series is machine-made and dishwasher safe. For the best results and to prevent clouding or breakage, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are spaced properly in the rack.

Each glass has a generous capacity of 28 ounces. This large size is intentional, as it provides ample room for the wine to swirl and aerate, which is essential for bold, high-tannin reds.

Unlike traditional, more rounded red wine glasses, the Extreme collection features sharp, angular lines. This design is specifically tailored to maximize the aeration of robust wines, making it a more specialized tool for modern, fruit-forward varietals.
