Continually innovative and at the forefront of design, Riedel presents the RIEDEL BAR DRINK SPECIFIC GLASSWARE collection, made in collaboration with spirits specialist Zane Harris, known for his mixology at cocktail meccas including Dutch Kills, Maison Premiere, and Rob Roy.

30 of the leading vintners in the Austrian Gruner Veltliner regions accepted Maximilian Riedel’s invitation to the school of viticulture in Krems. In the course of several workshops, Riedel and the winemakers worked together to develop the perfect glass for Grüner Veltliner and also reviewed the existing glasses. Hardly any other grape comes close to the complexity of Grüner Veltliner. For this reason, there were substantial doubts whether a single glass would be able to perfectly highlight and support the various characteristics of this wine. The precision of the result surprised everyone.

Riedel is proud to present the Junmai glass, its second glass specifically designed for Japan’s national drink. In contrast to Daiginjo, Junmai boasts a much greater complexity and range, making it the perfect companion for food.

The ongoing boom and great appreciation of Japanese cuisine worldwide has also strengthened the popularity of the beverage and thus the demand for a suitable glass. Sake has become the darling of sommeliers in top restaurants around the world.

With three generations of research, development and experience in creating functional, grape varietal specific glassware, Georg and Maximilian Riedel challenged themselves to improve on what had gone before.

The result is Performance – a technologically advanced and user-friendly collection of grape varietal specific glasses.

January 2018 – Riedel’s Barware collection presents perfect, ‘must have’ glasses for all cocktail and spirits lovers. For 2018, Riedel is excited to announce four new barware designs, each with two different sized glasses.

November 2017 – Riedel, the 260-year-old Austrian crystal glassmaker, world leader in functional wine decanter design and inventor of grape varietal-specific wine glasses, has unveiled the latest addition to its collection, “Dog”, to debut in February 2018.

January 2018 - When Riedel presented its Vinum series in 1986, it succeeded in making the functional wine glass both affordable and recognised around the world. To this day, Vinum remains the world’s best-selling gourmet glass series.

In an exciting new addition for 2018, the New World Pinot Noir and iconic Champagne Wine Glass will become available in Vinum.

January 2018 – In 2017, Riedel presented its first ever decorative grape-varietal specific stemware range, Fatto a Mano. Meaning ‘handmade’ in Italian, this glass series combines the sophistication of handcrafted glass in the style of the ancient Venetian tradition, with the very latest 21st century glass making technology. Within one year it has become one of Riedel’s best selling collections.

Maximilian J. Riedel, eleventh generation and the current Riedel CEO, introduces the outstanding Mamba Double Magnum decanter, a tribute to the 260th anniversary of his family’s business. 

This unique vessel, which holds a double magnum of wine (three litres), pays homage to the company's venerable past while at the same time representing its role as a leader in glassware design today.

Spiegelau and four North American craft breweries have turned their attention to barrel aged beers, with the debut of a new glass within Spiegelau’s Craft Beer range.  

As with all the glasses in this series, the manufacturer from the Bavarian forest hosted numerous tasting workshops, resulting in a glass that perfectly presents the complex profile of barrel-stored beers.
