- Riedel FAQ
Riedel is known for the creation and development of grape varietal-specific stemware. Riedel Crystal was the first in history to recognize that the taste and aroma of a beverage is affected by the shape of the vessel from which it is consumed, and has been recognized for its revolutionary designs complementing alcoholic beverages and other drinks.
Founded in 1756 and pioneering grape varietal-specific stemware since 1958, Riedel has become the brand of choice for wine connoisseurs and drink specialists, hospitality professionals and consumers globally.
Riedel is recognized worldwide for designing and producing the highest quality glasses and decanters for wine and spirit enjoyment. Top-rated wineries and restaurants throughout the world.
Are Riedel glasses lead free?
Since 2015 Riedel is exclusively producing Crystal Glass, which is a high quality, brilliant material that does not use lead oxide as principle ingredient.
Do Riedel glasses really make a difference?
All Riedel glasses are born out of comparative tasting sessions (rather than on a drawing board), where a panel of judges vote on what shape they consider performs the best. Expert winemakers and sommeliers carefully analyse the experience of drinking wine in different shapes of glasses.
Are Riedel wine glasses dishwasher safe?
Short answer, YES. All Riedel glassware is dishwasher safe, but it's not recommended for some of the larger, hand-made decanters.
Here are a few pro tips to consider before putting your glasses into the dishwasher:
- Riedel recommends that you use Miele dishwashers. These have been tested in the laboratory and found that Miele dishwashers give Riedel glasses a lifespan of 1500 washing cycles. This translates to a lifespan of over 20 years.
- To avoid any scratches to your Riedel wine glasses, keep the glassware away from heavier objects like knives and pots. Avoiding contact with other glass or metal will keep the glass scratch free. If possible, use a stemware rack to keep them in one place.
- The glassware needs to be properly spaced in the dishwasher so that they cannot shake or clink.
- Low mineral water content should be used to avoid stains.
- White vinegar can be used to remove the stains.
- Use modern dishwasher detergents.
- Use cool wash cycles for all glassware.
Are thin wine glasses better?
Whatever the shape and size of good wine glasses, all of them are made thin. There has been much speculation as to why. Some say that it contributes to the look, smell and taste of the wine. When a glass is thin, it allows you to have a clearer view of the colours of the wine so you can admire it more. Physilogically, it is so that there is little between the lips and the wine.
Where are Riedel wine glasses made?
The Riedel factory is in the idyllic Austrian town of Kufstein, about 4km from the border with Germany.
