Riedel Wine Glass Company

Riedel glasses are:

- Truly unique
Riedel makes the benchmark wine glass. The large range of different glasses are specifically designed for individual styles of wine, giving a genuinely unique selling point.

- Contemporary, elegant, impressive
The glasses are wonderfully elegant, majestically tall, and despite their long heritage, totally modern in design and in keeping with any contemporary dinner table.

- Enhance specific wines
Riedel glasses actually make wine taste better. Following extensive tastings involving wine experts from all over the world, Riedel has developed individual glasses to enhance specific wine styles.

- Huge potential with British wine drinkers
As the British public is drinking more and more wine, and many consumers drink wine every day, the next step is surely to consider the vessels from which people drink wine. Georg Riedel recommends that you should spend the same amount of money on one glass as you would on an above average bottle of wine. A pretty good rule of thumb - the bottle is enjoyed, but gone in one evening, whereas the glass is an enduring feature, which will enhance future bottles.

- Suits all budgets
Riedel's extensive range of glasses really does have something to suit all budgets. The glasses start with Ouverture @ £4.95, spanning up to the individually hand-made lead crystal glasses, costing up to £55 a stem.

- Practical
Despite their almost frightening height and splendid elegance, Riedel glasses are amazingly tough. The preferred method of washing Riedel glasses is in the dishwasher, making them extremely practical.

- Heritage and enduring design
Riedel glasses date back to the eighteenth century, and are still a family company today. In 2003, Riedel celebrated the 30th anniversary of the revolutionary hand-made Sommeliers range, which changed the perception of wine glasses forever. Sommeliers glasses are considered a design icon and as such are on permanent display at both the Victoria & Albert museum in London and New York's Museum of Modern Art.
