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.

Ouverture is the uncomplicated starter series from Riedel for customers who appreciate good, inexpensive wine. There are no grape varietals or wine regions to confuse the buyer. This is our endeavor to do justice to 'the pleasure of drinking' with six sizes of glass.

From a simple wine glass to a glass which is a pleasure to drink from: every Riedel collection arises out of sensory workshops designed to engage all the senses. No other name is as closely associated with European glass art and glass technology as that of Riedel. That is why every glass bears the Riedel lettering as a unique distinguishing feature.
