Riedel Wine Glass Set Superleggero - Bordeaux Grand Cru, Burgundy Grand Cru, Riesling & Oaked Chardonnay - 4 pieces

You open a bottle of wine that you have been saving for a special moment. The cork comes out, the aroma rises - and then you pour it into an ordinary glass. What a waste. Because a wine like this deserves more than an ordinary glass. It deserves the Riedel Superleggero glass. The glass that is not just a vessel, but a precision instrument that allows every drop to shine.

The Riedel Wine Glass Set Superleggero contains four iconic glasses - Bordeaux Grand Cru, Burgundy Grand Cru, Riesling, and Oaked Chardonnay - each designed for a specific grape variety and wine style. This is not a set you buy to place on the buffet. This is a set you use every time a wine deserves to be truly tasted.

Why precision makes the difference between drinking and tasting

Riedel stands for a simple but powerful idea: the shape of a glass determines how a wine tastes. Not a little, but fundamentally. The diameter of the bowl, the opening of the rim, the height of the stem - everything is calculated to lead the wine to exactly the right part of your tongue. And with the Superleggero collection, Riedel goes a step further.

These glasses are machine-blown in Weiden, Germany, with a precision that simply cannot be achieved by hand. No deviations in diameter. No irregularities in the rim. Each glass is identical to the previous one, giving you the exact same sensory experience every time. That is the premium difference that Riedel means: not more expensive for the sake of the name, but better because the execution is flawless.

• Top quality crystal glass - Clear, thin, and resonant - crystal glass feels different, sounds different, and shows the color of your wine perfectly
• Machine-made with handmade precision - The machines in Weiden produce glasses without size deviations, for a consistent tasting result
• Four specific shapes in one set - Bordeaux, Burgundy, Riesling, and Oaked Chardonnay: each glass is a craftsman in its field
• Dishwasher safe - Yes, really. Crystal glass that you can put in the dishwasher. Enjoy without hassle
• Made in Germany - Blown in Weiden, with the expertise for which Riedel is known worldwide

Four glasses, four flavors - each glass has its own story

The Bordeaux Grand Cru (953 ml) is a large, powerful glass for robust red wines with a lot of tannin and structure. The high bowl allows the wine to breathe, while the narrow opening concentrates the fruity aromas. A glass of Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot from this glass is a completely different experience than from a standard wine glass.

The Burgundy Grand Cru (1022 ml) is the largest glass in the set - and rightly so. Pinot Noir is a wine that needs air, a lot of air. The bulbous bowl gives the aroma space to unfold, while the wide opening brings out the soft acids and delicate fruits beautifully. This glass turns a good Burgundy into a memorable moment.

The Riesling (400 ml) is slimmer and more compact - exactly what an aromatic white wine needs. The smaller opening keeps the fresh, floral aromas together and truly brings out the fruitiness of a Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc. Small glass, big effect.

The Oaked Chardonnay (660 ml) is designed for the richer, buttery white wines that have undergone oak aging. The wider bowl allows the complex aromas - think vanilla, toast, and exotic fruit - to play freely, while the shape keeps the acids balanced. A glass of Bourgogne blanc or California Chardonnay literally tastes better from here.

Superleggero: the lightest that Riedel makes

"Superleggero" means in Italian "superlight" - and that is exactly what you feel as soon as you pick up this glass. The thin walls, the slender stem, the weight that seems almost nothing: this glass virtually disappears in your hand. That is no coincidence, that is design. Because when the glass itself does not form a distraction, you taste the wine better. You feel the temperature sooner. You smell the aromas without barrier.

This is the paradox of the Superleggero: the lighter the glass, the heavier the impression it leaves.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Pour red wine into a glass that you have rinsed with the wine beforehand - a technique that sommeliers call "conditioning." This removes any dishwasher scent and prepares the glass for its best performance. And always let your Burgundy Grand Cru breathe for at least a quarter of an hour before pouring. The difference is immediately audible - literally, because a good Pinot Noir starts to sing when it gets space.

The set that completes your wine cabinet

You don’t have to be a sommelier to enjoy these glasses - you just have to love good wine. And from these glasses, you can say: this is what I drink wine from. Not just enjoying, but consciously tasting. With friends at the table, on a quiet evening, or with that one bottle that you have been saving for a while.

The Riedel Superleggero set is an investment in every wine glass you pour afterward. And because they are dishwasher safe, you don’t have to come up with an extra ritual to get them clean. Just in the dishwasher, ready for the next moment.
