Riedel Wine Wings Glasses

The wide, flat base of RIEDEL Winewings glasses is the defining feature of the collection. This distinctive design allows the wine to spread across a larger surface area, increasing its exposure to air and helping intensify its aromatic expression.

The bowl shape and rim diameter are also carefully developed according to the grape variety, helping enhance the perception of the wine’s aromas, balance and character.

The RIEDEL Winewings collection offers specific shapes for a selection of red and white grape varieties:

• Cabernet / Merlot – for powerful, rich and structured red wines

• Pinot Noir / Nebbiolo – for more delicate, aromatic and fruit-driven red wines

• Syrah – for expressive and structured red wines

• Chardonnay – for rich, complex and fruit-forward Chardonnay

• Riesling – for vibrant, aromatic white wines with pronounced acidity

• Sauvignon Blanc – for fresh, mineral and aromatic white wines

• Champagne – designed to highlight the aromas and texture of sparkling wines

Each shape is developed to complement the particular characteristics of the wine it is designed to serve.

The idea behind Winewings originated from a project to create the ultimate glass for Cabernet Sauvignon. After extensive tastings and numerous adjustments to the shape, size and rim diameter, the concept evolved into a collection of glasses designed for key grape varieties.

This approach reflects a fundamental RIEDEL philosophy: the shape of a wine glass can influence how the aromas and characteristics of a wine are perceived.

RIEDEL Winewings glasses combine a bold, distinctive design with a functional approach to wine tasting. Their unique silhouette also makes them an eye-catching choice for a contemporary table or a tasting experience shared with fellow wine enthusiasts.

Whether you are looking for a glass for Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc or Champagne, the Winewings collection allows you to match your glassware to the style of wine being served.
