A history of innovation spanning more than 265 years — the RIEDEL brand is a market leader for good reason. Claus Riedel was the first person in the industry to recognise that the shape of the glass from which a drink is consumed influences its taste and aroma. Backed by decades of research and development, it has been proven that a specific shape, tailored to a specific type of beverage, reveals the drink's depth, brings out its truest qualities, and elevates the tasting experience to an even higher level of enjoyment. Claus Riedel is regarded as the inventor of the functional wine glass, an achievement that revolutionised the industry. RIEDEL stands for long-standing tradition, an innovative approach to presenting wine and other beverages, and Austrian quality.
