FAQs

What makes the Veloce Cabernet glass shape unique?

The Veloce Cabernet glass features a redeveloped diamond shape with extreme angles, specifically designed to enhance the aromas of full-bodied red wines and smooth out tannins.

What type of wines is this glass best suited for?

This glass is ideal for full-bodied, complex red wines high in tannin, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, particularly New World varietals.

Is the 829ml capacity suitable for all wines?

The 829ml capacity is optimized for large red wines that benefit from significant aeration. For lighter-bodied wines, a smaller glass might be more appropriate to preserve volatile aromatics.

How should I clean these glasses?

The glasses are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm water, mild detergent, rinse well, and polish with a soft cloth, being careful not to apply pressure to the rim or stem.

Are these glasses handmade or machine-made?

The Veloce collection uses the latest manufacturing technology to achieve a lighter and finer profile, offering the precision of machine production while emulating the feel of handmade glasses.

What does the inscription on the base signify?

The base of each glass is inscribed with the recommended grape variety, serving as a helpful guide for wine selection and enjoyment.

Can I use this glass for white wines?

While technically possible, this glass is specifically engineered for bold red wines. Using it for white wines might not optimally present their aromas and characteristics compared to a glass designed for whites.

Troubleshooting

Glass appears cloudy after washing

Ensure the dishwasher is clean and running at an adequate temperature. Use a rinse aid and check for hard water deposits, which may require a specific dishwasher cleaner.

Stem feels loose

Riedel glasses are designed with precision. If the stem feels loose, it may indicate a manufacturing defect. Please contact customer support for assistance.

Chipped rim

Due to the fine profile, the rim can be susceptible to chipping. Handle with care. If a chip occurs, it is recommended to replace the glass to avoid imperfections in the drinking experience.
