When glass pioneer Claus J. Riedel debuted the Sommeliers series in 1973, he was the first glass designer to adapt the form and size of the glass to its content. These handcrafted and mouth-blown instruments were created specifically to enhance the drinking experience.

40 years later, these iconic glasses have been reimagined for hospitality using 21st century machine-blowing technology. To avoid confusion with the original series, the Sommeliers Restaurant range features a logo etched into the base to distinguish it as "RIEDEL Restaurant".
