Riedel Restaurant

THE ARCHITECTURE OF STEMWARE Comprises three parts: bowl – stem – base.

The design (architecture or construction) of a stemmed glass must ensure that the size, height and width are in perfect harmony. The size of the bowl has to be in proportion to the height of the stem and the width of the base. Respecting the exact ratio between these dimensions ensures the glass is correctly and seamlessly proportioned. Table top “classics” are composed using the magic “golden architectural formula”. Early glass architecture, around 1920, took the lead, spear- headed by three Viennese architects (Loos, Hoffmann, Ertl). CLAUS J. RIEDEL’s designs from the late 1950‘s, reestablished and took on this concept, which combined with influence from French and Irish classics resulted in stemware featuring this “construction”, which is so pleasing to the eye. SERVING TO MAXIMIZE ENJOYMENT • Glass hygiene: Serve beverages only in sparkling, clean, odorless glasses. • Serving temperature: Do not over-chill white wines and sparkling wines; serve red wines below room temperature. • Serving per glass: Maximum 3 to 6 oz/100 to 125 ml. Never over-pour the glass. • The ample, gracious glass volume offers great wines the room to breathe and to express the unique message of the aroma.
