Riedel Veloce Cabernet Wine Glass, Set of 4

Q: What is a crystal cabernet wine glass best for?

A crystal cabernet wine glass is best for structured, tannic red wines where aroma and texture matter, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and similar varietals. The bowl shape encourages aeration so the wine can open up, while the rim helps guide the sip for a smoother impression.

Q: How does the diamond-shaped bowl affect aeration and aroma?

The diamond-shaped bowl gives the wine more surface area, which supports aeration when you swirl. That extra breathing room helps bold reds release more of their aromatic character before you take a sip.

Q: What does the tapered rim do for taste and texture?

The tapered rim is designed to direct the wine to a specific part of the palate. That can help soften the perception of tannins and bring better balance to flavor as you taste.

Q: What makes Riedel Veloce crystal wine glasses different from traditional stemware?

Riedel Veloce crystal wine glasses are made with a precision-focused approach that aims to deliver the delicate feel of handmade stemware. The result is an ultra-light glass that still feels remarkably strong in everyday use.

Q: How should I handle and store crystal wine glasses like these?

Follow the care guidance that comes with your crystal wine glasses, and handle them gently by the stem to protect the bowl and rim. When drying and storing, give each glass a little space so rims and stems are less likely to bump against one another.
