RIEDEL Performance Champagne Glass Set of 2

Enjoy a perfect glass of champagne every time with the Performance Champagne Glasses! The shape is ideal for light, fresh dry champagnes, but you can also enjoy typically tart, dry rose wines in the same glass. The shape promotes the fresh fruitiness of sparkling wines while softening their high acidity.

All Performance glasses feature a stunning optic design that has an astounding effect on the wine's aromatics, with wide bases for extra stability.

ABOUT RIEDEL

When developing a glass, RIEDEL's design ideas are not born on a drawing board, but shaped by trial and error with the help and support of the world's greatest palates. A person interested in wine is led by color, bouquet and taste, but often the glass is not considered as an instrument to convey the wine's message. Over the years, RIEDEL has acquired some interesting scientific explanations as to why the shape of a glass influences the bouquet and taste of alcoholic beverages. The first discovery was made while enjoying wine. The same wine displayed completely differently characteristics when served in a variety of glasses. The differences were so great that experienced connoisseurs were made to believe that they were tasting different wines. The grape variety is the key factor in determining the relationship between fruit, acidity, tannin and alcohol. As the next step, RIEDEL was able to create shapes in which the wine, vinified from specific grape varieties, seemed to improve. We started to recognize the complex role that size and shape play in conveying the message of a fine wine.
