Pioneers of Grape Varietal-Specific Glassware 

In the late 1950s, Claus J. Riedel (9th generation) revolutionized the industry by introducing wine-friendly stemware, recognizing that the taste and aroma of a beverage are influenced by the shape of the vessel. This innovation led to the development of grape varietal-specific glassware by Georg J. Riedel (10th generation), a concept that has become a cornerstone of RIEDEL’s design philosophy.
