What makes Riedel stemware unique
How does the quality of Riedel's new lead-free crystal compare to its 24% lead crystal glass?
Riedel recently began the process of converting all of its glassware from lead to lead-free glass crystal, and eventually all of Riedel's glassware will be lead-free. We compared lead vs the lead-free (Sommelier Bordeaux Grand Cru glasses side by side, and found it difficult to distinguish between the glasses. It seemed like the lead-free glasses had thinner stems and rims, while the 24% lead glasses seemed slightly heaver in the hand. There was no discernable difference in the balance, clarity or construction of the glasses.

Not just for wine!
These are very thin and light but stronger than you expect. I like this larger style because they can be used both for bold red wines or serving nuts, etc. Try filling them with water and flowers for use as low profile table decorations.

Great Value!
Very similar to the other Riedel O glasses, but this one is taller and wider. I really like the shape of this glass and the price is very affordable.
