Riedel Sommeliers Sauternes Wine Glass

This glass is specifically designed for sweet and dessert wines, such as Sauternes, Barsac, Tokaji, and late-harvest Rieslings. Its shape focuses on balancing sweetness with acidity.

While you can use it, the glass is optimized for sweeter wines. For dry white wines, a different glass shape from Riedel's collections might better showcase their specific characteristics.

The glass is dishwasher safe, but hand washing with warm water and mild detergent, followed by drying with a soft cloth, is recommended for long-term care and to maintain its pristine condition.

The glass has a capacity of 340ml.

It is made of fine crystal, which is delicate by nature. While durable for its material, it should be handled with care, especially during washing and storage, to prevent chipping or breakage.

The product information states it is supplied as a single glass.

The bowl shape and rim diameter are specifically engineered to enhance the perception of acidity and minerality in sweet wines, creating a more balanced and less overtly sweet profile compared to a general white wine glass.

This can be caused by mineral deposits from hard water or detergent residue. For dishwasher washing, try using a rinse aid or a specialized glass cleaner. For hand washing, ensure thorough rinsing and dry immediately with a soft cloth.

As each glass is handmade, minor variations in shape or slight imperfections are characteristic of artisanal crystal and do not affect performance. If the imperfection is significant or affects stability, contact customer service.
