Riedel Sommelier Wine Glass

These glasses are specifically engineered for full-bodied red wines. The generous bowl size and shape are intended to aerate complex vintages, allowing the bouquet to open up and the tannins to soften for a more balanced tasting experience.

Because these are hand-blown, delicate pieces, we strongly recommend hand-washing them. Using a dishwasher can compromise the thin glass and the structural integrity of the stem over time.

This is a substantial piece of stemware. With a capacity of over 30 ounces and a height of 10.625 inches, it is significantly larger than a standard red wine glass, designed to provide ample surface area for the wine to breathe.

Hand-blown means each glass is individually crafted by master artisans rather than mass-produced by a machine. This process results in a more refined, thinner rim and a unique, elegant finish that machine-made glasses cannot replicate.

Given the height of 10.625 inches, you should measure your cabinet shelves before purchasing. Many standard kitchen cabinets may not accommodate a glass of this stature, so you may need to store them in a dedicated bar cabinet or a taller china hutch.
