Are Riedel glasses worth it?
As a wine professional I usually opt for Riedel. While the Sommelier series is expensive (about between $70 – $100 per glass), it is exquisite to drink from and worth the investment if possible. With 24\% lead crystal, these glasses are extremely fine yet strong and truly do bring out the best in a wine.
What should I look for in a red wine glass?
Red wines typically require a large wide bowl to best allow their bigger bolder aromas and flavors to emerge. Wider wine glass bowls allow more aromas to waft up to your nose and also help aerate the wine as you drink, helping release more flavor.
What is the right size for red wine glass?
Red wine glasses can range from a minimum of eight ounces to well over 22 ounces. However, the standard red wine pour is five ounces, no matter what the size of the glass is. For comparison, a standard white wine glass holds between 8 to 12 ounces, but a standard pour of white wine would only be 5 ounces in the glass.
Is Riedel better than Spiegelau?
The Spiegelau’s stem is noticeably thicker, and base is just a smidge wider in diameter, although the bowl is MUCH wider than the Riedel. This results in a more balanced feel from the Riedel. That certainly doesn’t mean the Speigelau is on the verge of tipping over though. The Riedel is almost 3/4″ shorter.
What makes Riedel wine glasses so special?
For instance, because red Burgundies tend to be acidic and acidity can sometimes overwhelm the fruit, Riedel has crafted a glass that supposedly steers the wine away from the sides of the tongue, where acidity is detected, and directs it toward the middle, where the wine can better strut its stuff.
