At RIEDEL, Content Commands Shape
Wine friendly glassware delivers the aroma and the flavour of all aromatic beverages. Claus Riedel in the late 1950s was the first in history to develop and introduce wine friendly stemware. Wine friendly stemware translates the bouquet, taste, balance and finish of a wine to the senses. Based on this principle, RIEDEL introduced the concept of grape-specific glassware.
Why Shape Matters
Stemware consist of 3 parts: the bowl, stem and base. The length of stem and the width of base are part of the glass design (known as architecture). Grape varietal specific stemware features finely tuned glass bowls consisting of 3 variables (shapes, size and rim diameter). Grape varietal specific stemware has to translate the "message" of wine to the human senses.
There are 4 sensations in wine:
1) Bouquet: Grape varietal specific stemware is responsible for wine aroma (quality and intensity).
2) Texture: Grape varietal specific stemware highlights the exciting variable mouth feel of wine (watery, creamy, silky, velvety).
3) Flavour: Grape varietal specific stemware creates balanced interaction between fruit, minerality, acidity and bitter components.
4) Finish: Grape varietal specific stemware offers a pleasant, seamless, harmonious, long-lasting after taste.
Serving to Maximize Enjoyment
• Glass hygiene: Serve beverages only in sparkling, clean, odourless glasses.
• Serving temperature: do not over chill white wines and sparkling wines, serve red wines below room temperature.
• Serving per glass: Maximium 3 to 5 oz. Never over pour the glass.
• The ample gracious glass volume offers great wines the room to breathe and to express the unique aroma message
Caring For Your RIEDEL Crystal
• All RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe!
• To avoid scratches: avoid glass contact with other glass or metal. If available, use a stemware rack.
• To avoid stains, use soft water (low mineral content).
• To remove stains, use white vinegar.
• If washing by hand, wash the glass under warm water (use detergent and rinse the glass carefully).
• Wash cleaning towels at boiling temperature (to kill bacteria) with odourless soap.
• Never use linen softener when rinsing your cleaning towels (to avoid grease film on surface).
• To polish the glass, use two towels. Never hold the glass by the base to polish the bowl as the stem could snap due to mishandling.
• Avoid storing glasses in kitchen cabinets which have occasionally strong aromas which translates into the glass.
