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 cover that entire spectrum.

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

In 2019 Riedel presented Fatto a Mano Performance, a combination of two successful series that marries refined craftsmanship (for the stem and the base) and the precision of a machine (for the bowl).

The cocktail and bar drink revival has long ceased to be a secret. In 2019 Riedel presented its DRINK SPECIFIC GLASSWARE series, developed in cooperation with the US spirits specialist Zane Harris. This series combines the past and the present and meets the need for cocktail-specific glasses in restaurants and bars, and also for cocktail enthusiasts at home.

This is the fourth and final cooperation between the Austrian company Riedel and the Elton John AIDS Foundation. EUR 35,000 of all proceeds go to Sir Elton John’s foundation.

For years Riedel has been reiterating the importance of decanting. Recommended for red wines, white wines, champagne and rosé wines. International awards and patents underline the company’s expertise in decanters and their functionality, developed over the course of many years. Cornetto, designed by Maximilian Riedel in 2004, is one of Riedel’s worldwide bestselling products. It has a timeless shape and is easy to use.

L’attuale successo e il grande apprezzamento della cucina giapponese a livello globale ha consolidato inoltre la popolarità dello stile gastronomico giapponese con una corrispondente richiesta di bicchieri adeguati.

Sin dalla sua introduzione sul mercato nel 2018, Riedel Performance, la collezione funzionale e altamente tecnologica di bicchieri realizzati in base alle specificità dei vitigni, ha generato stupore a livello internazionale grazie all’ “effetto ottico” e quindi alla “Performance” dei calici, esaltata ancora di più dal conferimento del premio Good Design Awards 2018 *) per il suo design.

GENNAIO 2019, Riedel, marchio simbolo di innovazione nella cristalleria, ha annunciato la volontà di continuare la sua collaborazione con la AIDS Foundation di Elton John con la creazione del nuovo Cornetto Rainbow Double Magnum.

Nel 2109 Riedel presenterà con Fatto a Mano Performance una combinazione di due serie di successo, una simbiosi tra artigianato artistico (per il gambo e il piede) e un preciso lavoro a macchina (per il calice).
