Riedel Sommeliers Wine Glass, Clear

Decanter magazine hailed this glass as "The finest Burgundy glass of all time, suitable for both young and old Burgundies." Developed in 1958, its shape marked a significant advancement in wine glass design and has since been showcased in the New York Museum of Modern Art. This exceptional glass, often referred to as a 'beautiful monster', has the capability to expose the flaws of a lesser wine, while showcasing the true brilliance of a top-tier Burgundy, Barolo, or Barbaresco. The generous bowl allows the wine's aroma to fully develop, while the flared lip enhances the fruit flavors by directing them precisely to the front of the palate. Certain wines and grape varieties benefit greatly from this kind of controlled delivery, which highlights the fruit while maintaining a balanced acidity.

Crafted from fine crystal, this wine glass features a single stem and is hand-made in the European Economic Community. With a capacity of 37 ounces and a height of 9 3/4 inches, this glass is perfect for enhancing the tasting experience of your favorite wines. It is also dishwasher safe, making it convenient for everyday use. Overall, this glass creates a multi-dimensional 'taste picture' by accentuating the fruit and acidity of the wine in perfect harmony.
