Riedel is known for designing wine glasses around specific grape varieties and wine styles. The shape and size of each bowl are intended to influence how aromas develop and how the wine is delivered to the palate. Riedel offers everything from versatile everyday stemware to highly specialized, mouth-blown crystal for wine enthusiasts and collectors.

Riedel collections vary in how they are made, their design and their price. Sommeliers is Riedel's premium mouth-blown collection, while Vinum combines classic varietal-specific shapes with machine-made production. Veloce offers a lighter, taller profile, Performance features distinctive optical bowls and Riedel O provides stemless versions of popular wine glass shapes. Choosing a collection depends on whether you prioritize craftsmanship, design, durability or value.

Choose the glass based primarily on the wine you drink most often. Riedel offers glasses designed for Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style wines, Pinot Noir and Burgundy, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Champagne and many other varieties and styles. If you drink several types of wine and don't want a different glass for each one, a versatile red or white wine glass can also be a practical choice.

Many Riedel wine glasses are dishwasher safe, although care recommendations can vary by collection and glass. Use a glassware or delicate cycle when possible, make sure glasses cannot touch each other during washing and avoid placing them where they can come into contact with other dishes. Check the individual product information for specific care instructions.
