Riedel Glass

If you visit a wine event or wine fair today, such as the VinExpo in Bordeaux, the VinItaly in Verona or also events in America or China, you can be pretty sure that the glasses are from Austria. From the glass manufactory Riedel.

Riedel. The name of the pioneers.

The Riedel family has been dealing with glass for over 260 years. The pioneer of wine glasses was Claus J. Riedel, the ninth generation. He was the first to realise that shape was a decisive factor in the enjoyment of wine. The interplay of shape, size and mouth rim diameter makes the decisive difference. This is how the aromas come to the fore in the fragrance, as well as - where on the palate the wine hits.

In 1973, he presented what he himself called his gourmet wine glass collection, the now legendary mouth-blown "sommeliers". There was no renowned winemaker in the world whom he did not visit personally with his sample case and prove to him how much better his wine tasted from the corresponding glass. "The content determines the form" was his credo, and is still the motto of the family dynasty today.

Georg Riedel and his son Maximilian continued to develop, at the end of the 80s the "vinum"-series, which is machine blown and suitable for glass washers. This brought the worldwide breakthrough in gastronomy. This was followed by design variants and various decanters. Today Riedel is present in 125 countries of the world from Austria, even though the family lost everything after the war. You can only be so successful with excellent products.
