Product Information

Full details

This pair of Riedel Veritas wine glasses is designed for Sauvignon Blanc, enhancing the wine's aroma and taste profile. While offering a delicate, machine-blown design for an elevated sensory experience, the primary caveat is their specialized nature, best suited for this specific varietal. Key features include a grape-varietal specific bowl, a thin, light rim, and dishwasher-safe construction, all marked with genuine Riedel lettering.

FAQs

Are these glasses truly dishwasher safe?

Yes, all RIEDEL glasses, including the Veritas line, are dishwasher safe. However, for best results and longevity, we recommend placing them on the top rack and using a gentle cycle with minimal detergent.

Can I use these glasses for other white wines?

While specifically designed for Sauvignon Blanc, the glass shape may also complement other aromatic white wines with similar flavor profiles, such as Semillon or some Chenin Blancs. However, for optimal taste, they are best suited for Sauvignon Blanc.

What makes the Veritas line different from other Riedel glasses?

The Veritas line combines the charm of handmade glass with the consistent accuracy of machine-made glass. They are known for being lighter, finer, and designed for specific grape varietals, offering a balance of elegance and daily usability.

How do I identify a genuine Riedel glass?

Genuine Riedel glasses are marked with the unique Riedel lettering, which serves as a distinguishing feature.

What is the warranty period for these glasses?

Riedel typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty information provided with your purchase or contact Riedel customer support for details.

Is the thin rim fragile?

The thin rim is designed for an enhanced drinking experience. While more delicate than thicker rims, they are constructed to be durable for daily use when handled and washed according to care instructions.

Troubleshooting

Cloudiness after washing

Ensure you are using a detergent suitable for glassware and consider using a rinse aid in your dishwasher. For hand washing, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry promptly with a soft cloth.

Small imperfections in glass

As these are machine-blown glasses, minor variations can occur. These are typically aesthetic and do not affect performance. If significant defects are present, contact customer support.

Glass feels too delicate

The Veritas line is designed to be lightweight and delicate for an enhanced sensory experience. Handle with care, especially around the rim, and follow recommended washing and storage guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  1. Dishwasher: The glasses are dishwasher safe. For best results, place them on the top rack, ensuring they do not touch other items. Use a gentle detergent.
