What makes Riedel stemware unique
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.

Zin Glasses
by KP
One of the few wine glasses designed for Zin.
Use daily!
by Betty
Most of the ‘universal’ glass shapes favor bold red wines, and I accidentally discovered this makes a better universal glass for me. I drink a lot of whites, which taste much better in these glasses, and the same goes for lighter reds. I like how sculptural these glasses are, with wave ring patterns – so pretty!
The glass makes the wine.
by Annalisa
Riesling never tasted better! It hits every part of your tongue that it should and seems to bring more depth to the wine. Be careful only buying 1 set, you may wish you bought more than 2 stems.
Good everyday glass
by Jan
I'm not sure these are necessary as designated Riesling glasses. They work for various white wines.
Really nice wine glass
by Eric
This glass is a little smaller than typical Zinfandel glasses, but it really is beautiful. Perfect addition to my stemware collection.
OK
by JK
These were OK. I thought they would be more elegant and lightweight. Feel like I could have purchased these at a store nearby instead of buying them through the web and pay for shipping.
