Grape@Riedel 2024 Collection: a modern concept for an ancient company

The renowned glassware production of Riedel is enriched by a new wine collection that continues a tradition and an idea of a successful dynastic company. Since 1756, the Central European company has always kept up with the times. Riedel Crystal, the world leader in the production of wine glasses, spirits, and other related products, launches a new collection of three different glasses in 2024. More than just different sizes, it maintains continuity with the company's belief system, which since 1958 has advocated for specific glasses for tasting each grape variety. Sixty-six years of research and variations on this concept by a family, the Riedels, with over two hundred and fifty years of history. Therefore, three glasses strongly characterized by the type of wine to be tasted. The tallest of the three is intended for Cabernet and Merlot. Of the same shape but slightly smaller is the one called "White" for white wines and champagne. The third, "Pinot", is for red wines, like Nebbiolo. The three sizes ensure the right amount of wine, spirits, or beverage to drink. In the promotional photos, Riedel uses three different attractive models that convey the sense of difference while belonging to the same style.
