Riedel Empfiehlt Miele

ONE SIZE FITS ALL?

How can each shape provide a uni que experience for my wine ?

  1. One glass is not ideal for all styles of wines, a wine's bouquet, taste, balance and finish are all affected by the shape of the glass it is consumed from.
  2. A wine will display completely different characteristics when served in different glasses.
  3. These differences can be so great, that even experienced wine connoisseurs believe that they are tasting as many different wines as there are glasses.
  4. Riedel has created shapes that specifically enhance a wine's harmony and highlight its unique characteristics.
  5. Grape varietals carry in their DNA unmistakable flavor profiles, which add to the importance of selecting the appropriate glass.
  6. Wines have two, three or four flavor contributors which are associated to the fermentation.
