What customers say
Enthusiasts consider the Riedel Sommelier Burgundy glass essential for elevating delicate red wines. Reviewers praise its unparalleled performance, noting the feather-light weight and large, thin bowl perfectly concentrate complex aromas, significantly enhancing the tasting experience. For connoisseurs, this superior functional quality justifies the premium cost, establishing it as the benchmark for Burgundy stemware. However, a major recurring concern is extreme fragility. The delicate nature necessitates meticulous care, and breakage is common, causing frustration due to the high replacement expense. This fragility impacts the perceived value for casual users, positioning the glass as specialized, high-performance equipment rather than durable, everyday stemware.
Know before you buy
The generous 37 oz capacity is specifically engineered for Burgundy wines. The wide bowl allows the wine to breathe, which is essential for releasing the delicate, complex aromas characteristic of Pinot Noir and other Burgundy varietals.
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. Due to its delicate, hand-blown construction, we recommend hand-washing with warm water and a gentle detergent to maintain its clarity and integrity.
Hand-blown glassware is crafted individually by skilled artisans rather than mass-produced by machines. This process results in a thinner, more refined rim and a unique, high-quality finish that enhances the overall tactile experience of drinking wine.
Yes, this specific glass is not lead-free. The inclusion of lead in the glass composition is a traditional technique used to achieve superior clarity, brilliance, and a thinner, more elegant rim.
While specifically designed for Burgundy, the wide bowl is excellent for any aromatic red wine that benefits from significant aeration. However, it is best suited for lighter-bodied, complex reds rather than heavy, tannic wines like Cabernet Sauvignon.
