Explaining the idea that of RIEDEL WINEWINGS, we chose a flat and stretched bottom, with a wing-like shape to increase the surface area the wine is exposed to, which increases the levels of evaporation and enables a greater intensity of aroma. When positioning ones head to the glass, the nose is closer and is exposed to the wider surface of the wine. Though this alone would not fully deliver the optimal aroma of each grape variety and so, to capture the delicate layered aromas, it used to be necessary to curve the glass walls and to as it should be calibrate the opening of each glass with its rim diameter. RIEDEL WINEWINGS has seven glasses in total. Three for red wines, three for white and one for Champagne and sparkling wines. “Let’s start with Riedel Winewings glasses for white wine, and I’ll aim to provide an explanation for why we need three” comments Georg. “Here, we are dealing with the three classic and most significant white varietals and each features different flavors and even a different mouthfeel, which we consider requires a different glass shape for each with a purpose to really appreciate their unique characteristics’. Chardonnay – classic aromas of fresh yellow fruits and rich, buttery flavors when aged in oak barrels having undergone malolactic fermentation. Riesling – powerful floral aromas, crisp with acidity and a touch of sweetness (no new oak, no malolactic fermentation). Sauvignon Blanc – herbaceous notes, aromas of citrus, high acidity and minerality.

The Chardonnay glass is perfect to reveal the intensity of full-bodied white wines, including the wine’s multi-layered aromas
The wide open-mouthed bowl enables the rich bouquet to develop its wonderfully diverse range of aromas, emphasizing the finesse even as minimizing the risk of richer style white wines becoming over-concentrated
Winewings wine glasses are flat-bottomed, wide and harking back to the wing of an aircraft, complete with winglets
