Customer Review: Brilliant Marketing
Summary: 3 Stars
Everyone knows that wine is best enjoyed in an appropriate glass. My first introduction to Riedel was at a winery where I was served the same red in what must have been a shot glass on a stem, followed by a Riedel large enough to hold an entire bottle. Needless to say, it tasted better in the second one. No surprise here - red wine reaches its best potential in a large, round goblet; white wine should be concentrated in a smaller one; champagne's carbonation is conserved in a tall, thin glass. Many years ago, my friends and I frequently enjoyed Gallo in a thin stream from a wineskin; it probably would have been undrinkable out of a glass. There are appropriate glasses for beer, martinis, brandy - even water.
Riedel has taken this common-sense approach to its illogical extreme. In a local store, I recently saw the new Riedel glass specifically designed for Oregon Pinot Noir. Not any Pinot Noir, mind you, but the unique Pinots of the Willamette Valley. The Pinots of Washington, not to mention California, must require a completely different glass. Undoubtedly, there is someone out there nodding his head in agreement; this is the customer Riedel has in mind.
Riedels are otherwise fine glasses - thin, uniform, and balanced. But their philosophy of specialization crosses the border from logic to absurdity.
Description of Riedel Wine Series Cabernet/Merlot Glass, Set of 4
The Wine Line, Riedel stems to use anytime, all the time. Why settle for boring everyday stemware, when you can experience the sensuous pleasure of Riedel so reasonably priced. A perfect accord of the beautiful and practical, the abundant crystal bowls echo the flavor-enhancing properties of Riedel Vinum, the deco stems make a sophisticated style statement and the four-column cloverleaf design contours to your hand, the better to have and to hold. Dishwasher safe. Machine blown from lead free crystal. Size: 9-1/4"H, 21-1/2 oz. Riedel Model # 448/0The Wine Series offers the legendary wine-enhancing qualities of Riedel glassware in an affordable yet attractive package. Bowl shapes are modeled after Riedel's popular Vinum series, but because they're machine-made from high-quality non-leaded glass, they're ideal for the novice oenophile or for everyday use. As with the Vinum series, each type of glass is carefully formed to bring out the best in a specific varietal. Here, the shape of bowl and mouth are specifically designed to enhance the flavor, bouquet and texture of full-bodied reds like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Machine-made in Europe by master glassmakers, each glass stands 9-1/4 inches tall and holds 21-1/2 ounces at full capacity. --Mary Park
