Product Information

Now, Riedel has dozens of lines, spanning both hand- and machine-blown, upmarket and down, making them the darling of the wine world. Of course these very luxurious, handmade, mouth-blown items (made by the jolly-looking crew below), are not cheap – but they are very competitively priced compared with some other wine glasses. They also come in an extremely smart, sturdy box (designed by Richard) with a full colour booklet. Prices as below: September 2018 If you've already heard about my glassware and are interested in their availability, rather than plough through the full story of how the range came about and what it comprises, see here . Therefore, we recommend wines that do not urgently demand an abrupt swirl in your square wine glass and wines that you will consider porch pounders on a hot summer day. Why is it important to swirl your wine? I know that most wine-glass manufacturers offer a range of glasses, some of them running to dozens of different models, and all of them offering different shapes and sizes for different wines according to their colour, strength, fizziness and, often, provenance, but I am above all a pragmatist. A different glass for each different wine may increase potential pleasure by a few per cent, but who has the space to store multiple different sorts of wine glass? (And I have always had some difficulty working out which is which anyway.) I have spent 42 years trying to make wine as approachable and as pleasurable as possible and sincerely believe that just one glass for all wines makes perfect practical sense.

I have also noticed in recent years that the top producers of specialist wines such as champagne and sherry really want their wines to be served in a regular wine glass, not to be corralled into a special shape or size. (See, for example. Olivier Krug's campaign against the champagne flute, and Jesús Barquín's plea to serve fine sherry in a wine glass.)I hope you get a chance to try these beauties. We are doing our best to encourage as many restaurateurs and wine-bar owners as possible to use them. I first showed them, or rather some prototypes, to wine lovers at our JancisRobinson.com Christmas dinner and their effect on many different types of wine was widely appreciated (though you may feel the testers were not completely impartial). Since then, however, we have given a wide range of wine drinkers a preview and have been delighted by the response, both to how they look and what they do for wine's taste and aroma. I have yet to find a wine that is not flattered by them. And of course I just love how thin yet sturdy they are. See these detailed technical specifications. The story is that I was approached almost a year ago by a young designer Richard Brendon (below left) with quite a reputation for craftsmanship, so much so he is part of the Walpole initiative to promote British luxury goods abroad. Having made a name for himself with top-quality bone china, based on classic designs, and whisky glasses, he said he wanted to co-operate with me on a range of wine glasses. The glass designed for Cabernet Sauvignon is angular, with only faint evidence of curves. A glass for Pinot Noir/Nebbiolo is robust, with rolling ripples up the glass. Riesling’s offering has a long, elegant bowl and a shorter stem. These hips do not lie. The most curvature stemware graces the most detailed and feminine wines available. With the most dignified shape and chic appeal, these glasses perfectly complement the grace and beauty of Pinot Noir. As all perfect dinner pairings typically feature Pinot Noir, it is highly worth the consideration if you are a fan of one of the most prolific varietals and wine producing regions of the world.

Decide on the greatest flat bottom wine glass to enhance your mood and match your tastes. 1. Elixir Modern Flat Bottom Wine Glasses Designed to showcase red and white sparkling wines, Elixir Glassware glasses have a sleek, slender stem that allows them to be seen in the finest light possible. Square wine glasses are perfect for use as your go to white wine and still rose glass. We recommend using square wine glasses for wines that are distinctly fruit forward with a clean finish. Chilled whites such as Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier are a fantastic match for a square wine glass. Through a year of experimenting, testing and tasting, Riedel created seven different flat-bottomed glasses, each fine tuned to highlight the most popular wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Syrah/Shiraz, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Champagne).Each glass has Riedel’s flat-bottom design, then moves upwards in ripples rather than one long curve.A memorable impact on your visitors is guaranteed with this pair of flat bottom wine glasses. You may use them to serve your favorite beverage during a casual party, and they’re also a terrific way to display your collection. What started as a single-project Cabernet glass morphed into a full investigation on how this flat glass can be adapted to different varietals. The water glass is exactly like this but has a flat bottom rather than a stem (and we are aware that some people prefer stemless wine glasses): The traditional bulb of a wine stem was created with a U-shaped bottom to aid in the swirl of your wine. This creates a starting point for the distinguished swirl of your wine. Things to consider when choosing a wine glass? So, I proposed to Richard Brendon that, if we were to design a wine glass together, it should be just one size and shape. And – good for him – he took it on the chin. Doubtless slightly regretfully kissing goodbye to the extra profits to be made from flogging newlyweds many a different set of glasses, he has been the most agreeable man to work with – asking me only once 'are you sure?'.
