A Burgundy Pinot from a small grower is rarely a wine you just pour and forget about. It calls for a glass that gives room to its fine, earthy notes, without you having to worry about a broken stem halfway through the evening.
The Expert's Description
Riedel Wine Tumbler O Old World Pinot Noir 0414/07 is a red wine glass in crystal glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, shaped without a stem for elegant, terroir-driven Pinot Noir styles from Europe.
The glass is part of The O range and builds on Riedel's long experience of shaping glass to the grape rather than to tradition. The tall, generous bowl gives the delicate, lighter-bodied Pinot Noir room to unfold its soft tannins and subtle fruit, without the aromas getting lost in an oversized glass. If you want more reds to try in the glass, browse our range of Red Wine.
Design & Materials
The bowl is tall and relatively narrow at the top, which is typical for Pinot Noir glasses, as it holds onto the volatile, floral aromas this grape is known for. The glass is machine-blown in crystal glass and stemless, so it holds up to being used again and again without becoming a source of dread at the sink.
Use & Recommendation
The glass is designed for elegant, European Pinot Noir styles, such as those found in Burgundy, where finesse and acidity need room rather than heavy fruit. It is dishwasher safe, so it works for both a quiet weeknight and a dinner with several wines.

Did You Know?
Pinot Noir is often called the "heartbreak grape" among growers, because the thin-skinned variety is notoriously difficult to grow and highly sensitive to both weather and soil – one of the reasons good examples are rarely cheap to produce.
