Riedel @ Yate Supplies

RIEDEL CRYSTAL (established 1756) has been producing glass in the heart of Europe for over 260 years and for eleven generations. Family owned and operated by Georg J. Riedel (10th generation) and Maximilian J. Riedel (11th Generation), RIEDEL is recognised worldwide for designing and producing the highest quality glasses and decanters for the enjoyment of wine and spirits.

In the late 1950’s Claus J. Riedel was the first person in history to introduce and develop wine-friendly stemware, to translate and deliver the bouquet, taste, balance and finish of a wine to the senses. Based upon this principle RIEDEL introduced the concept of grape varietal specific glassware.

Stemware consists of 3 parts: the bowl, the stem and the base. The height of the stem, and the width of the base are part of the glass design known as the architecture. Grape Varietal Specific stemware features finely-tuned glass bowls consisting of 3 variables; shape, size and rim diameter. It is these finely tuned bowls which translate the “message” of wine to the human senses.

If your wine could choose a glass. It would be RIEDEL.
