Riesling expresses more notes and finish on the mid-palate than at the front of the mouth; the shape of the Sommeliers bowl directs the wine to those areas.
8-7/8″ tall, with a maximum capacity of 13.4 oz. for an average serving size of just over 4 oz.
Weighs 10 oz.-just enough to optimize stability and still feel great to lift.

Why choose this glass over similar glasses?
The most flexible glass in the line: great for Riesling, Zinfandel and Chianti enthusiasts, but ideal if you also serve Beaujolais, Dolcetto, or over 25 other varietals.
If you’re currently serving in a Bordeaux glass, as is often recommended, the narrower shape of this glass is better suited for these varietals.
Robert Parker declares, “The effect of [Riedel Sommeliers] glasses is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make.”
Each glass in the Riedel Sommeliers line is sold individually.
