Know before you buy
Unlike narrow flutes that can trap aromas, this glass features a wider bowl designed to allow the complex, aged characteristics of vintage Champagne to breathe and develop. It balances the preservation of effervescence with the need for aeration.
While Riedel crystal is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm water and a mild detergent to prevent clouding and minimize the risk of breakage. Always use a microfiber polishing cloth to maintain the clarity of the crystal.
Yes, it is perfectly suitable for any high-quality sparkling wine, including Franciacorta or premium Cava. Its shape is specifically engineered to highlight the nuances of complex, bottle-aged sparkling wines.
This glass is crafted from high-quality fine crystal. This material is chosen for its clarity, durability, and thinness, which provides a superior mouthfeel compared to standard glass.
The RIEDEL Sommeliers Vintage Champagne Glass is sold as an individual piece. This allows you to build your collection according to your specific needs or replace a single glass if necessary.
