Award-winning functionality in color!

The Japanese cherry blossom (Jap. 桜 sakura) is admired for its beauty all around the world and symbolises the transient nature of life. It reminds us to live in the present and to truly savour the wonderful moments in life.

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2021 is the Year of the Ox, which Riedel is celebrating by offering an exclusive special edition that will be available from 2021.

Riedel Winewings, the Grape Varietal Specific stemware range, developed by Georg Riedel from 2018/19 (and launched in 2020) will be complemented by the stemless Winewings collection in 2021

The history of the Riedel family is just as animated as the history of Europe, and what’s more it is inseparably linked with it.

This new revolutionary decanter is the latest addition to RIEDEL’s “glass menagerie”.

The graceful long-stemmed roses that grow near the factory in Kufstein were the inspiration behind the new design.

Georg Riedel, in his long career as a glassmaker and glass designer, has shaped many functional glasses. Among his creations are glasses for soft-drinks, coffee and many glasses of different shapes for alcoholic beverages. Each glass is specifically designed to enhance the enjoyment of the liquid for which it is created.

November 2019. Twenty of the leading vintners from the Austrian Zweigelt regions – Neusiedlersee DAC and Rubin Carnuntum – accepted the invitation of Maximilian J. Riedel, 11th generation CEO of the family business, to take part in a workshop at the PANNONEUM business and tourism school in Neusiedl am See. The goal was to develop a concept for the perfect Zweigelt glass and to review the functionality of the existing glass in two independent workshops. As Austria’s most widespread red grape variety, Blauer Zweigelt ranges from very young wines to strong wines matured in wooden barrels. This is why there were doubts as to whether a single glass would be able to cover that entire spectrum.

The name of this glass series says it all: High performance in functionality and design. 

The bowls with optical effect delivered a perfect “performance” at numerous international tastings, where the glass received top ratings.The machine-made optical effect has a positive impact on the taste experience. Not only does it add a pleasing visual aspect to the bowl, but it also increases its inner surface area, allowing the wine to open up and to fully develop its aroma, with all of its subtle nuances.
