RIEDEL Sommeliers Blind Blind Tasting Glass
The Blind Blind Tasting Glass is the perfect instrument for wine enthusiasts to handicap their senses while tasting wine.
The glass is handmade in solid black crystal, removing all visual cues for the drinker. It allows a nonbiased judgment of the tasted wine to trick and test the senses.
Sommeliers was the world’s first wine friendly glass collection and a design revolution created by Claus J. Riedel (9th generation). The range adheres to the Bauhaus design principle of form follows function, as Claus J. Riedel had discovered that certain wines showed more depth and better balance when enjoyed from certain shapes. Thin-blown and unadorned, Sommeliers was the beginning of RIEDEL's dominance of the global wine glass market.

Hard Facts
Owning a handmade Sommeliers glass is like owning a piece of history - the collection defined a new modern age thanks to their thin, undecorated, functional design. Though they are now over 40 years old, the Grape Varietal Specific shapes remain more or less unchanged over time, demonstrating their groundbreaking innovation.
