Stylish, practical and fun. Riedel O is the original varietal specific wine tumbler. Non lead, machine made. Perfect for young, full-bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin. This glass smooths out the rough edges, emphasising the fruit, allowing wines to achieve a balance that would normally take years of ageing to acquire. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully. The shape directs the flow of wine onto the zone of the tongue which perceives sweetness, thus accentuating the fruit and de-emphasising the bitter qualities of the tannin.

Ideal for these grape varieties:
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Carménère

And red wines from these regions:
Bordeaux

Why Shape Matters

  • Stemware consists of three parts: the bowl, stem and base.
  • The height of the stem and the width of the base are part of the glass design (known as the architecture).
  • Grape varietal specific stemware features finely-tuned glass bowls consisting of three variables: shapesize and rim diameter.
  • Grape varietal specific stemware has to translate the "message" of wine to the human senses.

A RIEDEL glass turns a sip of wine into a celebration!

There are 4 Sensations in Wine

  1. Bouquet: Grape varietal specific stemware is responsible for delivering the quality and intensity of the wine’s aroma.
  2. Texture: Grape varietal specific stemware highlights the exciting and diverse styles of "mouthfeel" in wine (watery, creamy, silky, velvety).
  3. Taste: Grape varietal specific stemware creates a balanced interaction between the fruit, minerality, acidity and bitter components of a wine.
  4. Flavor: Grape varietal specific stemware offers a pleasant, seamless, harmonious, and long lasting aftertaste.
