Fathers Day Gift Guide

Tell Dad to toss out his old wine glasses, and it’s time for the upgrade he needs. The Riedel Winewings Collection spurred from a project tasking Riedel with designing the ultimate glass for the “king of grapes,” Cabernet Sauvignon. The ensuing glass was the first of the Riedel innovation to buck the norm of the traditional egg-shaped wine glass. The bowl is pushed upward to create a wider, bulbous base, creating the largest in-glass surface area and aeration space in any of Riedel’s collections. The top of the Riedel Winewings bowl acts as the varietal specific guide, concentrating the aromas and flavors of a wine to the palate. The collection reimagines varietal-specific shapes for seven styles: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir/Nebbiolo, Syrah/Shiraz, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Champagne
