RIEDEL Sommeliers Rheingau

This elegantly designed glass is ideal for enhancing the delicate flavors of white wines from northern regions like Mosel, Rheingau, Franken, and Weinviertel. Its unique 'acid spoiler' rim accentuates the crisp, dry character and high acidity, while delicately bringing out the fruitiness. The shape subtly encourages the wine to make contact first with the tip of the tongue, where sweetness-sensitive taste buds heighten the perception of the wine's fruit notes. Additionally, the design minimizes contact with the sour-tasting edges of the tongue, ensuring a harmonious balance of flavors with a pleasant, almond-like finish. This glass not only enhances the taste but also the overall enjoyment of young, chilled white wines with its refined design.



Sommeliers was the world’s first wine friendly glass collection and a design revolution created by Claus J. Riedel (9th generation). The range adheres to the Bauhaus design principle of form follows function, as Claus J. Riedel had discovered that certain wines showed more depth and better balance when enjoyed from certain shapes. Thin-blown and unadorned, Sommeliers was the beginning of RIEDEL's dominance of the global wine glass market.
