'These machine-made glasses are indistinguishable from handmade ones'
Riedel launches the “largest, lightest and thinnest machine glass”, an innovation presented at ProWein 2023.
No deviations
Fifty years ago, his grandfather Prof. Claus J. Riedel made history with the first gourmet glass series that claimed to change the world of wine enjoyment for good.Maximilian J. Riedel has pursued this goal in the same way and is now setting new standards with the machine-made series: “The new Riedel Superleggero series is a masterpiece of state-of-the-art technology. The Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is the largest, lightest and thinnest machine-made glass on the market today. The motivation to replace the original lies in the perfection of a machine-made glass compared to handmade. As Riedel glasses are finely tuned instruments that support wine enjoyment, we have to make sure that there is no variation in the design of the goblet and mouth rim diameter, as this is key to our varietal-specific philosophy”, Riedel explains. The glasses of the Superleggero series are available in eight different sizes.
