Riedel Sommeliers Collection
Today,
regions and continents are producing wines that didn’t
exist or were unknown 25 years ago. The Sommeliers series
was developed further by his son Georg, into an all-embracing
state-of-the-art wine glass collection. Praised in 1991 by
Robert Parker, Jr., publisher of The Wine Advocate, as “The
finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes
are those made by Riedel.
Each glass is individually made: the upper parts blown into
a mould, the stem and base hand-crafted using methods developed
at the time of Christ’s birth.
Our
glass-makers invest their talent, know-how and meticulous
craftsmanship in making glasses of the impeccable quality
our consumers expect. Sommeliers are executed in over 24%
lead crystal.

Riedel Vinum Collection
| Introduced
in 1986, Vinum was the first machine-made series of glasses
in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics
of quality, reasonably price and wide distribution.
These
glasses have proved to consumers and restaurateurs that
the pleasure of consuming wine starts with the glass.
The Vinum collection, developed by Georg Riedel on the principle
that the content commands the shape, is the “Vitrum-Vinothek”
for every day use.
Vinum is made of over 24% lead crystal.

Riedel Overture Collection
Introduced
in 1989, “Ouverture” is Riedel’s uncomplicated
beginner series for customers, who appreciate good, reasonably
priced wine. No types pf grape varieties or wine-growing regions
disconcert the buyer. Six sizes are made for “drinking
pleasure”. Ouverture is lead free. Ideal for everyday
use, Ouverture glasses offer perfectly shaped wine glasses
at competitive prices.

Riedel O Collection
The
designs of “O” are based on the benchmark shapes
of Riedel Vinum. For the first time in glass history the design
parameters such as shape of tumbler, size and diameter of
rim, have been finely-tuned to enhance the world’s most
important grape varietals. “O” is available as:
Cabernet/ Merlot, Pinot/Nebbiolo, Syrah/Shiraz, Chardonnay,
Viognier/Chardonnay, Riesling/Sauvignon.
The price range for the non lead machine-blown glass series
is half the price of Riedel Vinum glasses. The glasses are
available as a two glass gift set – an ideal present
for others or for yourself!

Riedel Decanters Collection
Decanting
old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps
to ensure that the wines’ clarity and brilliance are
not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time.
Decanting young wines several hours before they are served
gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development
that normally requires years of aging.” (thoughts on
decanting by Christian Moueix)
