Riedel Red Wine Glass Fatto A Mano Black Tie - Bordeaux Grand Cru - 953 ml

You open a bottle of Bordeaux Grand Cru. The aroma alone promises something special. But then you pour it into an ordinary glass - and that's where it goes wrong. Because a wine like this deserves more than a random glass. It deserves the Riedel Fatto A Mano Black Tie Bordeaux Grand Cru wine glass: handmade, crystal clear, and designed with nearly a century of craftsmanship as its foundation.

This is not just any wine glass. This is the glass that transforms every sip into a moment to cherish.

Why this glass makes a difference

The shape of a wine glass is not a coincidence - it is science in the service of enjoyment. The Bordeaux Grand Cru glass was designed by Claus J. Riedel, the ninth generation of the famous family business, as one of the very first 'wine-friendly' glasses ever. The generous capacity of no less than 953 ml gives your wine the space it needs to fully express itself.

• Breathing bouquet - The large bowl allows the aroma to fully unfold, so you taste what the winemaker intended.
• Balanced tannins - The specific shape tempers the bitterness of high tannins and brings the wine into harmony.
• Fruit in the foreground - The slender opening concentrates the bouquet and emphasizes the fruity notes in every sip.
• Handmade crystal glass - Each glass is hand-finished in Austria, for a weight and balance you feel immediately.
• Stylish finishing touch - The black stem of the Black Tie collection makes this glass a showstopper on any table setting.

Craftsmanship you can taste

Riedel's Fatto A Mano - Italian for 'handmade' - is not a marketing term. Each glass from this collection is manually finished by artisans in Austria, with a precision that cannot be automated. The result is a glass weighing only 164 grams that still feels robust, with a thin rim that creates no barrier between you and the wine. The combination of clear crystal glass and the distinctive black stem of the Black Tie line makes this glass as beautiful to look at as it is to drink from.

Compare it yourself: pour the same wine into this glass and into an average wine glass. The nose, the attack, the finish - everything changes. That is not pretension, that is physics and chemistry working in your favor.

The glass for your finest wine

If you love full-bodied red wines with depth and character - think of a ripe Pauillac, a classic Saint-Emilion, or a robust Merlot - then this is the glass that brings out all those nuances. The generous dimensions of 282 mm high and 106 mm in diameter provide an optimal surface ratio: enough space for oxidation, but not so wide that the bouquet is lost.

And the best part? Despite the premium appearance, this glass is also dishwasher safe. Because enjoying is allowed, but cumbersome cleaning is not necessary. Just put it in the dishwasher, and it's ready for the next special moment.

The black stem is more than a design choice - it is an invitation. Place this glass on the table and the conversation starts naturally. The Black Tie collection combines the contemporary with the classic, making it suitable for both an informal dinner with friends and the most festive occasions.

Perfect for these wines

The Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is specially designed for complex, full-bodied red wines. Think of:

• Bordeaux varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc from the great chateaus
• Italian masters - Barolo, Amarone, and other tannin-rich red wines
• New World powerhouses - Powerful Shiraz or Malbec that need space
• Any wine with structure - When tannin, fruit, and acidity need to come into balance

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Fill your glass one third full - a maximum of 300 ml in this 953 ml glass. This way, you give the wine all the space to breathe and unfold its aromas. Gently swirl the glass and take your time with the nose before taking the first sip. This way, you really get everything out of your bottle.
