Riedel Winewings Cabernet Sauvignon 1234/0 - 1 pcs.

You pour a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, and the glass catches your eye immediately with its broad, wing-shaped bowl. It is not just striking design - the large surface lets the wine breathe, so the dark fruit notes and tannins open up before the first sip.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Winewings Cabernet Sauvignon 1234/0 is a machine-blown red wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, shaped with a broad, wing-like bowl engineered specifically for full-bodied grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon.

Riedel has been making glass since 1756, and the family business is now run by its 11th generation of glassmakers and designers. Winewings is one of the newest additions to the range - a rethink of the classic bowl shape, where Riedel's designers stretched the glass outward instead of upward. The result is a broad, wing-like surface that gives the wine far more contact with air than a traditional glass. If you need the right bottle for the glass, browse our range of Red Wine.

Design & Material

The glass is made from clear crystal glass with no tint, so you can judge the wine's colour and clarity without distraction. The wide, wing-shaped bowl is the glass's signature feature - the shape gives the wine a large surface to breathe against, while the slender stem keeps your hand away from the bowl and lets the wine stay at the right temperature.

Use & Recommendation

The glass is built for full-bodied, tannic red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux-style blends, where air contact makes a noticeable difference to the taste. Pour the wine well ahead of serving and let the wide bowl do the work. The glass is dishwasher safe, but a gentle cycle is best for keeping the thin crystal glass's shine intact for longer.

Did You Know?

The broad, wing-shaped bowl was developed by Riedel's design team to maximise the wine's surface contact with air, without making the glass too large to hold comfortably. The shape is one of the most striking departures in the glass's design history since Georg J. Riedel drew the Vinum series in 1986 - the first machine-blown glass to match the performance of a hand-blown one.

Frequently Asked Questions about Riedel Winewings Cabernet Sauvignon 1234/0 - 1 pc.

What makes the Winewings glass different from a regular red wine glass?

The broad, wing-shaped bowl gives the wine a far larger surface to breathe against than a traditional glass. That means a full-bodied red like Cabernet Sauvignon opens up faster in the glass, and the tannins feel softer from the first sip.

Is the glass dishwasher safe?

Yes, the glass is dishwasher safe and built to withstand machine washing. Choose a gentle cycle without harsh detergent tablets so the thin crystal glass keeps its shine for longer.

Is the glass only meant for Cabernet Sauvignon?

The glass was designed with Cabernet Sauvignon in mind, but it works just as well for other full-bodied, tannic reds, such as Bordeaux blends. If you need the right bottle for the glass, browse our range of Red Wine.

Is Riedel Winewings a good gift?

Yes. It is a striking, modern design from one of the world's most respected glassmakers, and it works both as a single statement glass and as the start of a larger collection.
