The Champagne Wine Glass is perfect for developing and displaying champagne’s complex characteristics. This glass allows the wide range of aromatics to unfold. Unlike a flute, the egg-shaped design allows the complex layers to grow and intensify, and the larger rim diameter enables them to be released in a way which is not achieved with a narrow glass. The glass also includes a 'sparkling point' to aid the formation of the Champagne bubbles. RIEDEL Superleggero is a masterpiece of state-of-the-art technology, confirming RIEDEL's position as a technical pioneer. The perfection of premium machine-made glass compared to handmade lies in the precision of the bowl and rim diameter and its consistent quality, guaranteeing a product to maximally support wine enjoyment. The collection includes the largest, thinnest, and lightest glasses with the widest base diameter ever produced on machine. Perfectly balanced and with the look and feel of a handmade glass. Each glass carries a grape-varietal specific code on the center of the base to identify the grape-variety. This item is premium machine-made. “PREMIUM” defines the advantage of a machine blown RIEDEL glass vs. a hand-made glass. The difference lies within the precision. Since RIEDEL glasses are fine-tuned instruments that support your wine enjoyment, we must make sure that there are no variances in the execution of the bowl and rim diameter, which is the key to our philosophy! This item is dishwasher safe.
