Riedel Sommeliers Glas

  • Riedel microfibre cloth for polishing crystal glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-18-10-07

    Crystal glass shows every spot and every water mark if it's dried the wrong way. Riedel Microfibre Crystal Cloth is the cloth designed specifically to give the glass the streak-free shine it deserves after a wash.

    The Expert’s Description

    Riedel Microfibre Crystal Cloth is a polishing cloth from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, made from microfibre and designed specifically to dry and polish crystal glass without leaving streaks or lint.

    The cloth is a natural companion to any of Riedel's glasses, whether it's one of the machine-blown tumblers or one of the more delicate, hand-blown pieces, and it belongs in the cupboard right next to the glass collection itself.

    Design & Material

    The microfibres are woven fine enough to lift moisture and grease from the surface without scratching the glass, unlike ordinary kitchen towels, which can easily leave lint or micro-scratches on a thin-walled crystal glass. The cloth is soft to hold and can be used again and again.

    Use & Care

    Use the cloth dry, right after the glass has been hand washed, and polish with light, circular motions until the surface is clear and streak-free. The cloth itself can be washed at a low temperature without fabric softener, so the microfibres keep their ability to absorb moisture.

    Did You Know?

    Did you know crystal glass is softer and more porous than ordinary glass, which makes it more prone to scratches from coarse cloths or paper towels? That's exactly why Riedel developed its own microfibre cloth for the purpose.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers Blind Taste wine glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-8400-15

    When a wine has to be judged without revealing what it is, the glass mustn't give anything away. The Blind Taste glass is Riedel's answer to that challenge – a neutral shape sommeliers use for professional blind tastings.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Blind Taste 8400/15 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. The Sommeliers line is mostly made up of grape-specific glasses, but the Blind Taste glass is a deliberate exception – designed to be as neutral as possible so it doesn't reveal anything about the wine before it's tasted. Even so, it's still hand-blown to the same standard of craftsmanship as the rest of the line.

    Design & Material

    The shape is deliberately kept neutral and free of distinctive features – neither too wide nor too narrow – so the glass itself gives no hints about the wine style involved. It's hand-blown to the same high standard as the rest of the Sommeliers line, just without the specialisation that otherwise defines the family.

    Use & Recommendation

    The glass is typically used for blind tastings, where the goal is to judge a wine without knowing its identity beforehand, but it also works well as a versatile, neutral everyday wine glass. Wash it by hand in warm water, and avoid the dishwasher, which can damage the thin crystal.

    Investment Potential

    The glass carries a Low to Medium investment potential. It's a specialised tool used mainly by professional sommeliers and wine judges, making it more of a niche piece within Riedel's hand-blown Sommeliers line than the widely used grape-specific glasses.

    Did You Know?

    The Blind Taste glass is used, among other things, at professional wine competitions, where judges specifically must not know which wine they have in front of them – the glass's neutral shape is designed to give no hints along the way.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy red wine glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-16

    No other glass in the Sommeliers line has a bowl this large. It's shaped for Pinot Noir from Burgundy, where the wine's delicate, earthy aromas need every bit of space they can get.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru 4400/16 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. With its large, balloon-shaped bowl, this is the most demanding glass to hand-blow in the entire Sommeliers line – the bigger the glass, the harder it is to keep the weight and thickness even throughout the process. The shape is built for Pinot Noir from Burgundy, where the many, complex layers of aroma need all the space a Grand Cru bowl can offer, and you'll find more of the wines the glass suits in our range of Red Wine.

    Design & Material

    The large, balloon-shaped bowl is the most demanding shape to hand-blow in the whole Sommeliers line, because the molten glass has to be stretched across a large area while keeping the temperature and thickness even. The narrowed opening at the top gathers Pinot Noir's delicate aromas before they reach the nose.

    Use & Recommendation

    The glass is built for Pinot Noir from Burgundy, but also works for other light to medium-bodied red wines with a complex aroma profile. Always wash by hand – a dishwasher's temperature swings can damage the thin, hand-blown crystal over time.

    Investment Potential

    The glass carries a Medium investment potential, mainly because it's the most demanding glass to hand-blow in the entire Sommeliers line. The large bowl places extreme demands on the glassblower's precision, making each piece a feat of craftsmanship that can't be mass-produced the way Riedel's machine-made lines are.

    Did You Know?

    When Robert Parker set out to describe Riedel's glasses, he used the words 'I cannot recommend strongly enough that you use these glasses' – a comment often quoted in connection with large, hand-blown Grand Cru glasses like this one.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers Chablis Chardonnay white wine glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-0

    A chilled Chablis from Burgundy shows best in a glass that doesn't hide its sharp minerality behind a thick rim. The Sommeliers Chablis / Chardonnay glass is built for exactly that.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Chablis / Chardonnay 4400/0 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. The Sommeliers line launched in 1973 as the world's original hand-blown glass collection, with each glass built for a specific wine style – long before Riedel's later machine-made lines brought the same principle to a wider audience. The Chablis / Chardonnay glass has a relatively narrow bowl that holds on to the fresh acidity and minerality typical of unoaked or lightly oaked Chardonnay.

    Design & Material

    The narrow, elongated bowl is hand-blown so the opening stays relatively small compared to the bowl's volume – this traps the delicate, fresh aromas that would otherwise escape quickly in a wider glass. The stem is drawn long enough that your hand never needs to touch the bowl itself.

    Use & Recommendation

    The glass suits unoaked or lightly oaked Chardonnay, such as Chablis from Burgundy, where the fresh acidity and minerality need to stand out clearly. Hand washing is essential here – the heat and chemicals of a dishwasher can damage the thin, hand-blown crystal over time.

    Did You Know?

    Chablis, part of the glass's name, is actually a defined geographical area in northern Burgundy, not a grape variety. The wine is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes, but can only be called Chablis if it comes from that specific area.

  • Hand-blown crystal cognac glass from Riedel with a narrow, closed bowl
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-70

    A single glass, hand-blown and light as a thought in the palm. Some glasses are made to drink from, others to teach you the scent of what you are about to drink. Sommeliers Cognac XO belongs to the second kind.

    Expert's Description

    Riedel Sommeliers Cognac XO 4400/70 is a hand-blown cognac glass in crystal from the Austrian glass house Riedel, with a capacity of 170 ccm and a height of 165 mm.

    Sommeliers was Riedel's first true glass series and the world's first collection designed around how individual wines and spirits behave in the glass. Behind the series stood Claus Josef Riedel, ninth generation of the glassblowing family, who began experimenting in the 1950s with how the shape of a bowl shifts the flavour on the tongue.

    Unlike the machine-made Vinum glass, every Sommeliers glass is hand-blown by a glassblower, giving a thinner, lighter bowl and a more delicate rim. For XO cognac, the shape is smaller and more closed than the wide Vinum glass – precisely because an aged, concentrated cognac needs to be poured in smaller measures and kept close to the nose without becoming overwhelming.

    The glass is built for the heavier, more complex cognac styles – XO, Napoléon and Hors d’Age – where long cask ageing has given the spirit enough depth that a concentrated glass draws it out rather than drowning it.

    Did You Know?

    The Sommeliers series is considered the world's first glass collection where every single glass was designed for one specific wine or spirit rather than being all-purpose – an idea so new at the time that it founded an entirely new branch of the glass industry.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers Bordeaux red wine glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-00

    The large, curved bowl gives a powerful Bordeaux room to breathe. Riedel has sized the glass so the tannins soften and the fruit speaks first.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Grand Cru Bordeaux 4400/00 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. Sommeliers is built on the idea that a glass's shape can actively change how a wine tastes – a notion taken for granted in the wine trade today, but genuinely new when the line was developed. The Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is built for the classic Bordeaux grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and you'll find more of the wines it suits in our range of Red Wine.

    Design & Material

    The large bowl is hand-blown in a single, continuous motion, which demands an experienced glassblower – the bigger the glass, the harder it is to keep the glass wall evenly thin all the way round. The wide base gives a powerful red wine room to aerate, while the narrowed opening at the top gathers the aromas before they reach the nose.

    Use & Recommendation

    The glass is built for full-bodied Bordeaux grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but also works well for other powerful red wines that need room to develop. Always wash by hand in warm water, never in a dishwasher, which can weaken the thin crystal over time.

    Investment Potential

    As a hand-blown glass from Riedel's original Sommeliers line, this glass carries a Medium investment potential. That rests on the time-consuming craftsmanship behind each piece, Riedel's international standing as a glassmaker, and the fact that the glass exists only in limited numbers, since it must be blown by hand rather than machine.

    Did You Know?

    Robert Parker is particularly known as a champion of Bordeaux wines, and he has repeatedly singled out Riedel's glasses as essential for bringing out the full expression of this particular wine style.

  • Handmade Riedel crystal glass for grappa with slim stem
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4200-03

    Since 1973, the Sommeliers collection has set the standard for what a spirits glass can do for the aroma in the glass. This edition is shaped specifically for grappa - and nothing else.

    Expert description

    Riedel Sommeliers Grappa 4200/03 is a handmade crystal glass from the Sommeliers collection, designed specifically for grappa and marc.

    The glass belongs to Riedel's Sommeliers collection, introduced by Claus J. Riedel in 1973 as the world's first glass series designed to highlight the character of individual drinks. Every glass in the collection is handmade from crystal glass following the same principles still used today under Maximilian J. Riedel.

    The grappa glass has an egg-shaped bowl with a narrowed rim that holds onto the grappa's volatile aromas and softens the sharp alcohol sensation. The result is that floral and fruity notes reach the nose instead of raw spirit.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers Loire white wine glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-33

    Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley is known for its sharp, almost piercing acidity. The glass is built to soften it slightly, without the wine losing its characteristic freshness.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Loire 4400/33 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. The Sommeliers line covers wine styles from around the world – from Bordeaux and Burgundy to the white wines of the Loire Valley – making it one of the broadest hand-blown glass collections Riedel has ever made.

    Design & Material

    The bowl is hand-blown with a moderate taper that guides where the wine first meets the tongue – crucial for how a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc is experienced. The stem is slim, matching the glass's light, elegant character.

    Use & Recommendation

    Use the glass for crisp, acidic white wines from the Loire Valley, such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. Wash it by hand in warm water without soap, and let it air dry to avoid marks and damage to the thin crystal.

    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-17

    The long, slender stem keeps your hand at a respectful distance from the drink, so an ice-cold Martini stays ice-cold – classic bartending craft translated into glass.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Martini 4400/17 is a hand-blown cocktail glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. Riedel designed the Sommeliers Martini specifically for the cocktail of the same name, where the long stem keeps the drink cold all the way through. The bowl's wide, flat shape also helps release the aromas of the gin the Martini is traditionally built on – take a look at our range of Gin if you need the base spirit.

    Design & Material

    The classic V-shaped bowl is hand-blown with sharp, clean lines, while the long stem is kept slim yet sturdy enough to carry the glass's weight. The shape is built so your hand never needs to touch the drink itself.

    Use & Recommendation

    Use the glass for classic Martini cocktails or other short, cold drinks served without ice. Wash it by hand in warm water, and avoid the dishwasher, which can chip the thin glass rim over time.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers Rheingau riesling glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-01

    Riesling from Germany's Rheingau district lives on its bright acidity and delicate sweetness. The glass is shaped so the wine meets the tongue exactly where those two elements balance.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Rheingau 4400/01 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. Each Sommeliers glass is developed for one specific wine style rather than as a general white or red wine glass – an approach that still sets the line apart from most other glass collections on the market, hand-blown or machine-made.

    Design & Material

    The bowl is relatively narrow and tall, hand-blown with a slight taper at the top that concentrates the Riesling's aroma before it reaches the rim. The stem is slim and light, matching the fine, elegant character the glass is built to support.

    Use & Recommendation

    Use the glass for German Riesling, particularly from the Rheingau district, where the narrow bowl concentrates the floral, mineral aromas. Always wash it by hand in warm water, and avoid the dishwasher for the sake of the thin crystal.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers Riesling Zinfandel wine glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-15

    A glass that spans two very different wine styles – aromatic German Riesling and spicy Californian Zinfandel – needs a shape that can do both without compromise.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Riesling / Zinfandel 4400/15 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. Only a handful of Riedel's glasses are designed for two different grapes at once – most Sommeliers glasses are tailored to a single wine style, which makes the Riesling / Zinfandel glass a rare exception in the line. Even so, it's still hand-blown to the same high standard as the rest of the Sommeliers family.

    Design & Material

    The bowl's proportions are a hand-blown compromise between a typical white wine glass and a red wine glass – neither too narrow nor too wide – making the glass versatile enough to hold two very different grapes without underselling either.

    Use & Recommendation

    Use the glass for both German Riesling and American Zinfandel – two grapes that rarely share a glass, but both benefit from the bowl's balanced shape. Hand washing is essential; the thin, hand-blown crystal cannot go in a dishwasher.

    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-04

    A cool summer evening, a bottle of rosé, and a glass shaped to bring out both the colour and the delicate berry notes – that's the whole idea behind this glass from the Sommeliers line.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Rosé 4400/04 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. The shape of a Sommeliers glass is never arbitrary – every glass in the line has been developed through tasting trials, where the glassblowers adjusted the bowl's height and width until the wine hit the tongue in the right place. The Rosé glass has a wider, lower bowl than most white wine glasses in the line, so you get both the aroma and the wine's slightly cool freshness at once.

    Design & Material

    The wide but not overly deep bowl is hand-blown to display the wine's colour clearly, while also keeping the rosé cool a little longer than a narrower glass would. The crystal is left undecorated, so the colour in the glass stands entirely on its own.

    Use & Recommendation

    The glass suits most styles of rosé, from the dry Provence style to slightly fuller-bodied versions. Wash it by hand in warm water without soap, as a dishwasher's heat can make the hand-blown crystal brittle over time.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers Sauternes dessert wine glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-55

    A small glass for a big, sweet wine. Sauternes from Bordeaux concentrates its honeyed, apricot-sweet notes into a small pour, and the glass is shaped accordingly.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Sauternes 4400/55 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. A dessert wine glass should ideally be smaller than a standard white wine glass, since Sauternes is typically drunk in smaller pours. Riedel's glassblowers have shaped the bowl to concentrate the sweet, honeyed and apricot aromas the noble-rot Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc blend from Bordeaux is known for.

    Design & Material

    This is one of the smallest glasses in the Sommeliers line, which actually makes it harder to hand-blow than a large glass – precision has to be even higher when there's less molten glass to work with. The small bowl concentrates the dessert wine's sweet, heavy aromas into a compact space.

    Use & Recommendation

    The glass is built for sweet dessert wines such as Sauternes, where a smaller pour concentrates the aromas best. Always wash it by hand – a dishwasher can quickly damage such a thin, small hand-blown glass.

    Investment Potential

    Investment potential is rated Low to Medium. Even though the glass is small, it's no less demanding to hand-blow – if anything, the small size requires extra precision from the glassblower, and as part of Riedel's original hand-blown Sommeliers line, the glass holds a solid place in the brand's history.

    Did You Know?

    Sauternes is one of the most labour-intensive wines to make, because the grapes must be affected by noble rot to develop their characteristic sweetness – a fitting parallel to the fact that the glass built for the wine also demands extra precision in the craft.

    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-18

    Riedel has been hand-blowing glass since 1756, and the Sommeliers range is where the family's philosophy that shape defines taste was truly proven. The Sherry glass is a faithful copy of the classic Spanish original.

    Expert Description

    Riedel Sommeliers Sherry 4400/18 is a mouth-blown crystal glass designed specifically for Sherry, with a tall stem and a bowl that tapers towards the rim.

    The glass was introduced into the Sommeliers range in 1980 and is shaped after the traditional Spanish Sherry glass from Jerez. The tapering bowl concentrates Sherry's delicate aromas, while the thin, undecorated crystal - inspired by the Bauhaus principle that form should follow function - lets the flavour come through undisturbed.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers Sparkling wine glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-88

    Not every sparkling wine belongs in a narrow flute. This glass from the Sommeliers line has a wider bowl, giving the bubbles more room to develop.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Sparkling 4400/88 is a hand-blown champagne glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. Where the Vintage Champagne glass in the same line is a narrow tulip for mature, complex champagne, the Sparkling glass is wider and lower – built for younger, fresher sparkling wines, where you want more contact with the floral and fruity aromas. Take a look at our range of Champagne & Sparkling.

    Design & Material

    The bowl is wider and lower than in the Vintage Champagne glass from the same line, hand-blown to give sparkling wine more air and contact with the aromas, while the surface is still small enough to hold on to the bubbles.

    Use & Recommendation

    Use the glass for younger, fresh sparkling wines, where you want a little more air on the aromas than a classic flute gives. Wash it by hand in warm water, and avoid the dishwasher for the sake of the thin crystal.

    Did You Know?

    Riedel has several different glasses for sparkling wine in its range, and the fact that the Sommeliers line contains two – Sparkling and Vintage Champagne – shows just how much difference Riedel believes there is between a young and a mature sparkling wine.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers Stone Fruit white wine glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4200-06

    Ripe peaches and apricots on the nose, a full-bodied white wine on the palate – Riedel has shaped this glass specifically for the white wines that deliver exactly that kind of fruit.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Stone Fruit 4200/06 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. Sommeliers is the world's original hand-blown, wine-friendly glass collection, with each glass designed to bring out a specific grape or wine style, and the Stone Fruit glass is one of the more specialised members of the family. It's shaped for white wines with a pronounced stone-fruit character – think Viognier and similarly full-bodied, aromatic grapes – where the wide bowl lets the fruit fully unfold in the glass.

    Design & Material

    The bowl is hand-blown into a wide, round shape that gives the wine plenty of room to develop, while the relatively short stem keeps the glass stable. The crystal is left undecorated, so the focus stays entirely on the wine's colour and aroma.

    Use & Recommendation

    Use the glass for full-bodied, aromatic white wines such as Viognier or similar grapes with a pronounced stone-fruit character. Wash it by hand in warm water without soap, and let it air dry – the hand-blown crystal cannot go in a dishwasher.

    Did You Know?

    The name Sommeliers isn't a coincidence – the line is named after the sommelier profession itself, because the glasses were originally developed in close collaboration with professional sommeliers to meet their exact demands for glass shape.

  • Hand-blown Riedel Sommeliers tulip-shaped champagne glass
    Item no.: 22227865489-2-4400-28

    A mature, vintage-dated champagne behaves differently from a fresh bottle from this year. Riedel has shaped this glass for exactly that character – a tulip form that holds on to the bubbles without smothering the complex, mature notes.

    The Expert's Description

    The Riedel Sommeliers Vintage Champagne 4400/28 is a hand-blown champagne glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. Unlike the wider Sparkling model in the same line, the Vintage Champagne glass is shaped as a tall, narrow tulip, built specifically for vintage champagne. Bubbles rise more slowly in a tulip shape than in a flat coupe, giving the mature, complex aromas more time to unfold. Take a look at our range of Champagne & Sparkling if you need the bottle.

    Design & Material

    The tall, narrow tulip shape is hand-blown with a slight taper at the top that holds the bubbles longer than an open coupe would. The stem is drawn long so your hand doesn't warm the champagne unnecessarily.

    Use & Recommendation

    The glass is built for mature, vintage-dated champagne, where the complex notes need a tulip shape that holds on to the bubbles. Always wash by hand in warm water, never in a dishwasher – the hand-blown crystal is too thin for machine washing.

    Did You Know?

    The wide flute many people associate with Champagne is actually a fairly recent phenomenon – the tulip shape this glass is built on is older and was originally the preferred form for bringing out a champagne's complex aromas.
