Riedel Wine Tumbler O Cabernet / Merlot 0414/0 - 2 pcs.

A barbecue evening on the terrace calls for a glass that can survive without a stem and without constant supervision, while still letting a bold red wine open up properly. That is exactly the job Riedel gave The O.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Wine Tumbler O Cabernet / Merlot 0414/0 is a red wine glass in crystal glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, designed without a stem for bold red wine styles such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The O range was created to solve one very specific problem: broken stems. By removing the foot entirely, the glass gets a solid, sturdy base while keeping the bowl shape from the classic stemmed glasses, so the wine's aroma and flavour aren't compromised. If you need a glass for a different red wine style, browse our range of Red Wine to pair it with.

Design & Materials

The bowl is large and generously curved, giving the firm tannin structure of a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot room to open up, while the narrower rim gathers the aromas before they reach your nose. The glass is machine-blown in crystal glass and stemless, which makes it noticeably tougher than a traditional stemmed wine glass.

Use & Recommendation

The glass is shaped for bold, full-bodied reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Bordeaux blends, where you want both fruit and tannin to stand out clearly. It is dishwasher safe, making it as suited to a relaxed Friday night as to outdoor use, where a traditional stemmed glass would be too fragile.
