Riedel Wine Glasses

How to choose the right Riedel Wine Glasses

• Match glass shapes to your wine list, selecting varietal-specific bowls for key grapes such as Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay.
• Consider capacity based on pour size and service style, choosing larger bowls for bold reds and slimmer glasses for sparkling wines.
• Choose between Riedel Restaurant, Degustazione and Performance series depending on your balance of durability, aesthetics and budget.
• Plan for your bar offering by adding Riedel beer, port and cocktail glasses to keep your glassware consistent across all drinks.
• Check pack sizes and storage space so back-of-house glass racks and glasswashers can handle your chosen range efficiently.
• Align glass style with your venue concept, from classic tulip stems for fine dining to modern stemless O series for relaxed service.

Care and maintenance

• Wash Riedel glasses in a commercial glasswasher using appropriate racks to protect rims and prevent contact damage.
• Use non-abrasive detergents and avoid harsh chemicals to preserve crystal clarity and prevent clouding over time.
• Allow glasses to air dry fully or polish with a lint-free cloth, holding by the bowl and stem separately to avoid breakage.
• Inspect rims and stems regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged pieces from service immediately for safety.
• Store glasses upright on stable shelves or in glass racks, avoiding stacking to protect the bowl shape and fine rims.
• Train staff on correct handling, carrying and polishing techniques to extend the life of your Riedel glassware investment.
