This set began as a single question: in 2018, Georg Riedel was asked to design the ultimate glass for Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Winewings collection is the result. The four lead-free crystal stemless glasses have a flat-bottomed bowl that expands at the base to maximize surface area as you swirl, and the wide-shouldered decanter does real work on a young or tannic red before it ever reaches the table. Made in Austria, the set looks considered when it’s out and stores without fuss when it isn’t.

Best For

  • Decanting a young Cabernet 30 minutes before guests arrive while the rest of the table comes together
  • Hosting a dinner where the glassware should look intentional without becoming the topic of conversation
  • Gifting a host or wine-drinking friend who would notice the difference between good glassware and great glassware
  • Keeping a full set on hand that stores compactly but doesn’t compromise on glass thickness or bowl shape
  • Flat-bottomed bowl with an enlarged lower bulge: The Winewings bowl curves outward near the base, increasing the wine-to-air surface area more than a straight-sided or inward-tapering stemless bowl. It makes a noticeable difference when swirling without a stem to grip.
  • Varietal-specific bowl geometry, not a general-purpose adaptation: The Winewings collection started in 2018 as a dedicated project to find the optimal glass shape for Cabernet Sauvignon. The diameter, depth and bowl contour were developed for this varietal specifically, not scaled from an existing design.
  • Laser-cut and polished rim: Produces a thinner edge than machine-ground finishing. The difference shows in how cleanly a full-bodied red releases from the glass on each sip.
  • Decanter features a wide angular body (25.4 oz) that aerates wine as it settles, paired with a narrow neck for a controlled, drip-free pour.
  • Glass capacity is 23.8 oz, roomy enough to swirl comfortably at a standard pour without crowding the bowl.
  • Stemless format fits standard cabinet shelving and goes through the dishwasher without the breakage risk of a stem.
  • Lead-free crystal, made in Austria.
  • Set includes 4 Cabernet Sauvignon stemless glasses and 1 decanter.

Pairs Well With

  • A decanter cleaning brush or cleaning beads — the narrow neck on this decanter makes hand-washing without a tool difficult, and residue builds quickly with regular use of red wine.

What makes Riedel stemware unique

What exactly comes in this value pack?

A: The set includes 4 Riedel Winewings Cabernet Sauvignon stemless glasses and 1 decanter. The stemless glasses stand 4 3/4 inches tall with a 23.8-ounce capacity, and the decanter stands 8 7/8 inches tall with a 25.4-ounce capacity — enough to hold a standard 750ml bottle with room to aerate. Everything is made in Austria from lead-free crystal.

What makes the Winewings glass shape different from a typical stemless wine glass?

A: The Winewings design starts with a flat-bottomed bowl that maximizes the wine’s surface area for aeration the moment it’s poured. An enlarged bulge at the base gives you full range of motion when swirling without worrying about spills. The rim is laser cut and polished to an unusually thin edge, which affects how the wine flows onto the palate. Georg Riedel originally set out in 2018 to design a single definitive glass for Cabernet Sauvignon — the result became the entire Winewings collection.

How does the decanter in this set actually help with Cabernet Sauvignon?

A: The decanter’s wide, rounded lower chamber exposes the wine to a generous surface area while it rests, allowing tannins in young or tight Cabs to soften before pouring. At 25.4 ounces, it comfortably holds a full bottle. The narrow neck controls the pour and concentrates aromas as you serve, so the decanting process is doing measurable work rather than just looking good on the table.

Is this a practical everyday set or more of a special-occasion gift?

A: It functions well as both. The stemless format means the glasses store flat in a cabinet, are less prone to tipping than stemmed glasses and wash easily. For entertaining, the matched decanter and glasses create a cohesive table presence without requiring a full formal setup. As a gift, the set covers everything a Cabernet drinker needs — proper aeration vessel and 4 varietal-specific glasses — in a single purchase.

Are these glasses made from lead crystal or lead-free glass?

A: The entire Winewings collection, including the glasses and decanter in this set, is made from lead-free crystal. They are produced in Austria, where Riedel manufactures its machine-made crystal lines. Lead-free crystal delivers the clarity and thin-walled feel of traditional crystal without the health concerns associated with lead oxide formulations.
