Considered the world’s most revered collection of instruments for enhancing wine and spirits, Riedel wine glasses offer the ultimate in wine enjoyment. Backed by 250 years of glassmaking experience, with Riedel, the pleasure of consuming wine starts with the glass.

Claus J. Riedel was the first person to recognize that the bouquet, taste, balance and finish of wines are affected by the shape of the glass from which they are drunk, forever changing the world of wine. The whole approach is not about correcting flaws in particular styles of wines, but of achieving balance in bringing out the distinct characteristics of each style of wine.

In the late 1950s, Riedel started to produce glasses that, at that time, were a design revolution. Thin-blown, unadorned, and reduced to its design essence: Bowl, stem, base. Working with experienced tasters, Riedel discovered that wine enjoyed from his glasses showed more depth and better balance than when served in other glasses. He laid the groundwork for stemware that was functional as well as beautiful, and introduced a revolutionary concept with the first line of wine glasses created in different sizes and shapes.

From there, a glass was born that turns a sip into a celebration - a wine's best friend - fine-tuned to match the grape! WineQuest invites you to share in this fascinating and unique experience. You don't need to be a wine expert to taste the difference that a Riedel glass can make.
