Riedel Veritas Champagne 6449/28 - 2 pcs.

Most champagne glasses are either too narrow for the aromas or too wide for the bubbles. Riedel's Veritas version is drawn as a compromise - still tall enough to hold on to the bead, but wide enough for the aromas to unfold.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Veritas Champagne is a set of two machine-blown champagne glasses from the Austrian glassmaking house Riedel, made from crystal glass and shaped for Champagne and sparkling wine. The glass belongs to Veritas, Riedel's newest and thinnest machine-blown collection.

Design & Material

Instead of the classic narrow flute, Riedel has given the champagne glass a wider bowl that gives the bead room to develop, while the still-tapered top holds on to the bubbles and gathers the aroma. The crystal is finished very thin, like the rest of the Veritas range.

Use & Recommendation

The glass is built for Champagne and other sparkling wine, and the wider bowl also suits vintage Champagne with a more complex aroma. If you need the right bottle of bubbles for the occasion, take a look at our range of Champagne & Sparkling Wine. The glass is dishwasher safe, though a gentle wash extends its shine.

Did You Know?

For decades, Champagne was served in narrow flutes, mostly because they looked elegant on the table. Riedel has instead shaped its champagne glass around what actually brings out the aroma and the bead.
