Description

You have bought the wine - now buy something to drink it from!!!!


This glass was described by Decanter Magazine as 'the finest Burgundy glass of all time, suitable for both young and old Burgundies.' Its shape, developed in 1958, represented a quantum leap in terms of wine glass design - and has earned it a place in the permanent display of the New York Museum of Modern Art. This 'beautiful monster' of a glass can take apart a lesser wine, mercilessly showing up its weaknesses. But a great wine - a top-class Burgundy, Barolo or Barbaresco - will be revealed in all its glory. The large bowl allows the bouquet to develop to the full, while the slightly fla-red top lip maximises the fruit flavours by directing a precise flow onto the front palate. Certain wines and grape varieties require this type of controlled delivery. By ensuring that the fruit is highlighted while using the marked acidity of the wine to keep the flavours in balance, this is a glass that produces a superbly three-dimensional 'taste picture'.


Robert Parker from his Wine Buyers Guide

I would unhesitatingly purchase both the Bordeaux and Burgundy glasses. They out-performed every other glass by a wide margin. The magnificent 37-ounce Burgungy glass, with its slight flared lip, directs the flow of Burgundy to the tip and centre of the tongue so that it avoils contact with the sides of the tongue, which deemphasizes the acidity and makes the Burgundy taste rounder and more supple. This is not just trade puffery on Riedel's part. I have experienced the effect enough times to realise that these glasses do indeed control the floe, and by doing so, enhance the character of the wine.

The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make.
