With the wine glasses from the collection Riedel you get real high quality glasses in the house. The glasses are made of ultra-thin crystal glass which is very light. This Riedel Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Glass Veloce is perfect for complex, full-bodied red wines with lots of tannins. The size of the chalice allows the flavors to fully develop in the glass. It allows the fruit flavors to come out more and actually reduces the bitterness of the tannins. This makes for a balanced wine. The following fruits are suitable for this wine glass:
What does our expert say?
Wine Specialist
Riedel makes this product from ultra-thin crystal glass, and you notice it immediately: it feels almost weightless in your hand and really lets the wine take center stage. The large bowl isn't accidental, because with a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot you need room so the flavors can open up and the tannins feel softer. I recommend this to anyone who seriously enjoys red wine and notices that the right glass really makes a difference in what you taste. Two glasses per package, so you can share this moment right away with someone else.

FAQ
Are these Riedel wine glasses dishwasher-safe?
Riedel makes the Veloce glasses from ultra-thin crystal glass — that requires a little extra care. Preferably wash them by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. This keeps the glass clear and prevents damage to the thin bowl. If you still want to put them in the dishwasher, use a gentle program at a low temperature, place them upright, and make sure they do not touch each other.
How many glasses are in the package?
The package contains 2 red wine glasses from the Riedel Veloce collection. A complete set to enjoy together at the table right away.
For which type of red wine is this glass best suited?
This glass is specifically designed for complex, full-bodied red wines with high tannins — think Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The large bowl (829 ml) gives the wine room to breathe, which means: • the fruit flavors come forward more • the bitter tannins feel softer • the wine tastes more balanced as a whole Lighter, fresher red wines with low tannins benefit less from this bowl size.
What is the capacity of this wine glass?
The Riedel Veloce Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot has a capacity of 829 ml. That's a spacious bowl intentionally designed to be that large: more space means more contact with oxygen, which benefits the flavors of full-bodied red wines. A standard pour of 150–200 ml leaves enough room for the wine to 'work' properly in the glass.
How do I best store these glasses?
Because the Veloce glasses are made from ultra-thin crystal glass, they deserve careful storage. A few practical tips: • Store them upright — do not store them upside down in a cabinet, to protect the rim • Keep them in a place where they won't knock against other glasses or objects • After washing, dry them immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water marks Crystal glass is lighter and thinner than regular glass, so a bit more care when storing will extend their lifespan.

Already owning the Veloce champagne and chardonnay glasses these were tbe next logical addition to our collection. They're great with riesling, vino verdhe and even sparkling wine and cider.
Great ordering process and delivery as always.
Insanely fast delivery. I ordered on Sunday at lunch and got the package Monday evening in Brussels. The glasses came packaged in an additional box with carton and none of them were broken.
Hele elegante glazen. Superdun en lichtgewicht. Ook een heel fijn steeltje! Zeker niet goedkoop maar wel zo’n beetje het beste wat er valt te verkrijgen.
