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 by recognizing the effect of a glass shape on the perception and drinking pleasure.

Georg Riedel (10th generation) further developed the concept by discovering that the content commands the shape, thus, the correct choice of glass enhances the flavors of wines.

The delivery of a wine's "message", it's bouquet and taste, depend on the form of the glass.

Riedel offers the finest instruments when it comes to enjoying wine and spirits. The extensive range is layered by sophistication and price category. While a glass cannot alter a fine wine or spirit, it can and does dramatically alter our perception of it.
Try it and see for yourself!

Riedel glasses are a wine's best friend.
