RIEDEL Extreme
The RIEDEL Extreme Cabernet glass, updated in 2018, is machine-made from clear crystal glass to perfectly complement New World wines. Its distinctive diamond-shaped bowl and extreme angles provide significant aeration, allowing robust, fruit-forward wines to develop complex aromas. This generous size emphasizes fruit character while smoothing tannins for excellent balance. Designed for full-bodied reds high in tannin, this dishwasher-safe stemware comes in a pack of two, enhancing the soft, fruity notes of big and bold wines.

What customers say
Wine enthusiasts overwhelmingly praise the RIEDEL Extreme Cabernet glass for significantly elevating the tasting experience. Its unique bowl shape and generous capacity effectively aerate bold red wines, allowing complex aromas and flavors to fully express themselves. Users report enhanced fruit notes and a more integrated finish compared to standard glasses. The elegant design and substantial feel of the lead free crystal also contribute to a premium ritual. However, a recurring concern is the perceived fragility; many find the glasses delicate and prone to breakage during washing or handling, requiring meticulous care. While the price is occasionally noted as high, most dedicated drinkers consider the superior sensory enhancement a worthwhile investment for serious connoisseurs.
