Line introduced in 1986
Vinum
The very first varietal-specific machine-made glass
Vinum is RIEDEL's basic grape varietal-specific series. It was created by 10th generation glassmaker Georg J. Riedel to ensure every wine lover could afford greater wine enjoyment.
The series was designed, based on Sommeliers, the 1973 collection by Claus J. Riedel, the 9th generation of the family-run company. The Sommeliers range was the first wine-friendly and unadorned wine glass collection, with glass bowl shapes based on a wine's character.
In 1986, his son Georg presented a further innovation that fundamentally altered wine glass culture: varietal-specific glassware, produced by machine to reduce their cost significantly.
Developed with great passion and based on Georg's well-founded specialist knowledge, Vinum has become RIEDEL's best-selling glassware series. The series is produced by machine in crystal glass. All Vinum glasses are dishwasher safe.
