Riedel Sommeliers Martini 4400/17 - 1 pcs.

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.
