Riedel wine glasses Riedel were the first to recognise that the shape of the wine glasses could enhance the overall enjoyment of the wine drinking experience. Claus Riedel believed that the bouquet and taste of wine was dependant on the form of the wine glasses. "The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make." Robert M. Parker, ’The Wine Advocate’ Riedel glasses have been made for over 300 years and produce the very highest standard wine glasses to enhance your enjoyment of quality wine.
