xElevate red wine moments with Riedel Winewings Cabernet/Merlot
RIEDel WINEWINGS reimagines how a glass meets wine. The flat, stretched bottom and wing-like silhouette expand the surface area the wine touches, promoting a gentle evaporation that helps aromas unfold more readily as you swirl and sniff. The glass walls curve inward and the rim is calibrated to harmonize with each grape variety, guiding the aroma toward the nose and highlighting subtle, layered notes rather than letting them fade away.
Within the Winewings family, the seven-glass collection is designed to align with grape profiles: three shapes for red wines, three for white, and one for Champagne and sparkling wines. Red glasses are categorized by intensity—Mild, Medium, and Powerful—so Cabernet Sauvignon, commonly viewed as powerful, can express its bold character while balancing fruit-forward elements and smoothing rough edges. The result is a glass that aims to reveal aroma depth and balance without masking the wine’s personality.
