It was a couple if years ago that I first came across the concept of stemless wine glasses. We were holidaying at a beach resort down on the Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand and were invited to a BBQ dinner at an acquaintance holiday home.

The host was, and still is, a director of a well known liquor conglomerate and the main course wine was a Martinborough Pinot Noir, served in stemless glasses.

Having been a wine enthusiast for many a year and operated wineries as well as wine distribution businesses, I found the stemless glasses somewhat disconcerting to begin with. I looked at them and thought, are we drinking great Pinot Noir from a water glass?

But after the first hesitant taste, I realized what an awesome idea they were. And why? Because they worked in the setting we were in – having a BBQ dinner out in the open on a warm summers evening. A glass with a stem would have been ridiculously unstable in this setting and totally inappropriate.

The glass itself is shaped to enhance the flavor of the Pinot Noir and in no way was detrimental to the experience of tasting what was a very good vintage Martinborough Pinot Noir.

Mouth-Blown of fine quality lead-free crystal and because they’re stemless these stemless glasses fit easily in your cabinets and dishwasher. A great choice for casual entertaining, BBQ’s, holiday homes, out on a yacht, and for everyday enjoyment. Plus they are dishwasher safe.

There is no question about it this is the best Pinot Noir glass you can buy. Yes it is also expensive, but one would not normally purchase Riedel Sommelier Pinor Noir glasses as complete sets for the dinner table. But it is a fantastic glass to have in your wine cabinet for tasting those special Pinot Noir wines that you come across every so often. It maybe an exotic New World Pinot Noir from somewhere like Central Otago in New Zealand – perhaps Sam Neill’s Two Paddocks Pinot Noir of 2006 vintage, or it could be a great French burgundy such as the 2005 Boillet Louis Gevrey Chambertin .

Wine experts generally agree that glassware makes an enormous difference as to how wines taste. You don’t drink wine from a beer tankard fro the reason that the shape is not correct to deliver the wine correctly to the palate. Good wine glasses should assist a wine to release its bouquet and to do that it needs to allow for a wine to be swirled in the glass in order to consistently aerate the pinot noir wine.

Riedel Sommeliers wine glasses have become the benchmark and the most successful series of hand-made glasses in the world for wine enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Each Sommeliers wine glass is individually made of 24% lead crystal: the wine glass bowls are mouth-blown into a mould, and the stem and base are handcrafted using ancient glass-making methods.
