Product detailed description

Series "O"

The "O" series was introduced in 2004 by Maximilian Josef Riedel, the 11th generation of the company, as the first series of Riedel stemless glasses specifically shaped according to the individual wine varieties. It's fun, it's comfortable to hold, it looks modern and it works! Glasses made of crystal glass with a fine rim fit both in your hand and in a picnic basket and also refresh your bar or kitchen. "O" enriches the classic series of stemmed wine glasses with innovative, modern and playful glasses for a variety of beverages that are a welcome addition for anyone who enjoys shapely, uncomplicated and functional design.

The shapes of the glasses from the "O" series are based on the popular and time-tested series of wine glasses specifically shaped according to the individual Riedel Vinum wine varieties. S the "O" series, Maximilian Josef Riedel designed something completely new without losing the brand identity. He says: "Although the enjoyment of wine is clearly at the forefront of Riedel glasses, the added value of this series is that it is also perfectly suited for all other beverages." Serve water, fruit juice or cocktails in style, for example.

Glasses shaped according to wine variety

Claus Josef Riedel, the representative of the 9th generation of the company, gave the world of wine glasses a completely new face more than 40 years ago. Until then, he had replaced the traditional coloured cut glasses with clean, unadorned, lightweight glass shapes with elegant long stems. His daring venture quickly won him the approval of customers and art connoisseurs alike. The many design awards won only confirmed that a new era of wine culture had begun.

In 1973, the Riedel Sommeliers collection was created, in which Claus Josef Riedel first implemented his idea of specifically shaped glasses according to individual wine varieties. He realised that the bouquet, flavour and overall balance of the wine are influenced by the shape of the glass. In 1986, his son Georg Josef Riedel, the 10th generation of the brand, launched the Vinum collection. Unlike the hand-blown Sommeliers glasses, this is the first collection of machine-made glasses shaped according to wine varieties and soon gained unexpected popularity.
