Riedel Bar is a collection of the finest spirit glasses. The world's most renowned spirit experts participated in extensive tasting workshops. The tasters analyzed the effect of shapes, size, and rim diameters on each beverage to create instruments that express the individual character and originality of the beverage. Each glass is finely tuned to increase the enjoyment of spirits by showing the unique character of the beverage, highlighting the tempting fruitiness, and de-emphasizing the evidence of alcohol on the nose and palate.
