Operating (Optimal Wine Enjoyment)

The design of the Riedel Sommeliers Riesling Grand Cru glass is specifically engineered to enhance the sensory experience of certain wine varietals. To fully appreciate the wine, consider the following:

• Величина сервирања: For white wines, pour approximately 2-3 ounces (60-90 ml) to allow sufficient evaporation space for aromas to develop.
• температура: Ensure the wine is served at its optimal temperature. Low temperatures can temper aroma intensity, while high temperatures may emphasize alcoholic fumes.
• Swirling: Gently swirl the wine in the glass. This moistens additional surface area, increasing evaporation and intensifying aromas. The egg-shaped bowl is designed to capture and layer these aromas effectively.
• Palate Contact: The shape of the glass guides the wine to specific taste zones on the tongue, balancing fruit, acidity, mineral, tannin, and alcohol components for a harmonious flavor profile.

Одржавање и њега

Riedel Sommeliers glasses are crafted from fine lead crystal, requiring specific care to maintain their quality and performance. The surface of lead crystal is coarser than ordinary glass, which helps in conveying intense aromas but also makes it softer and more delicate.

Прање руку

• Use lukewarm water and a small amount of detergent, adjusting based on how greasy the glasses are.
• Темељно исперите под текућом водом.
• For extra sparkle, steam the glasses over a bowl of boiling water before polishing.
• Use a lint-free linen cloth that has been washed without fabric softener. Fabric softener can leave a greasy film that affects champagne bubbles.
• When wiping, use two cloths and both hands: one hand to hold the bowl, the other to wipe. Do not force the cloth into the bowl, as the thin walls are delicate.
• Avoid holding the glass by the base while wiping the bowl, as this can twist and break the stem.
