Founded in 1756, Austrias Riedel Crystal is the worlds premier manufacturer of wine glasses and has always catered to the fine wine connoisseur. However, these wine tumblers are part of the companys first attempt at producing a lower priced wine glass for casual entertaining. Like Riedels prestigious Vinum series of glasses, these tumblers are specifically designed for a particular grape varietal and still maintain their ability to enhance the flavors and aromas of the wines they were intended for. The only difference is that the tumblers are missing their stems, making them slightly less delicate to handle, more modern in appearance, and easier to fit in smaller cabinets, mini bars, picnic baskets, and the dishwasher.
The O series of glasses are made of machine-made of non-leaded glass. The shape of the two glasses in this set is specifically recommended to highlight the tannins and balance the fruit in wine varieties such as Syrah and Shiraz. Each glass holds 21-7/8 ounces of wine, stands 5-3/8 inches tall, and is completely dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde
Welcome To Riedel
'The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make.' (Quote: Robert M. Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate) 'The Riedel family has never stamped its name on a single bottle of wine. But over the past 50 years, this Austrian clan of master glassmakers has done more to enhance the oenophile's pleasure than almost any winemaking dynasty'. (Quote: Time Magazine) Claus Riedel was the first person in the long history of the glass to design its shape according to the character of the wine. He is thus the inventor of the functional wine glass. Make a journey through our world of glasses and senses.
In 2004, Maximilian Riedel grabbed the attention of the wine and tabletop industries with the introduction of his 'O' series, an innovative collection of stemless wine glasses. 'The 'O' glass has delighted many and outraged a few,' said Maximilian. 'People were quick to embrace a glass that offered all the enjoyment that Riedel is famous for yet was more casual, easy to use, wash and store and added a playful element to the wine and spirits experience.' Today, the 'O' collection has grown to include thirteen different glass designs including six varietally-specific wine glass shapes, a glass for sparkling wine, saké, spirits, water and even one for a martini. The success of 'O' is easy to understand: casual, contemporary and chic, perfect for those who crave elegant and uncomplicated designs that work for everyday use.
