The Riedel family has been in the glass business for 300 years. By 1973, the family began researching the relationship between the shape of a glass and the wine it contains. Riedel gained much recognition for these designs that influenced the appearance of stemware, as well as the character of wine. Today the Museum of Modern Art in New York carries the Riedel line in its permanent collection.
Riedel’s theory behind the design of crystal glass, from the shape of the bowl and degree of tapering at the rim, to the design of the rim itself, can affect the way you experience the aroma, taste and harmony of a wine. If you take a sip from the Riedel Sommelier Bordeaux glass, its conical shape first sends the wine to the tip of your tongue, where you taste sweetness, which enhances the fruit, before it spreads to the back of your palate, where you detect acid and tannin. This design concept is why Riedel Sommelier crystal is regarded as the finest in the world by many wine professionals.
Do specialty wine glasses such as Riedel make a difference? The answer is a resounding, Yes! For more information, visit Riedel.com. |
