RIEDEL

Riedel's founding pre-dates the French and American revolutions, James Cook's Pacific voyage and the birth of the industrial revolution. Founded in 1756 (the year Mozart was born), eleven generations of Riedels have made some of the world's highest quality glassware for over 265 years. With centuries of craft behind them, it's no wonder this seasoned glass-making dynasty have won every award in the business. Nor is it surprising that their ranges are stocked in the finest restaurants and wineries in the world.

Such a rich and expansive history has afforded them the credibility and expertise to drive industry innovation for decades. Ranges such as their Performance wine glasses demonstrate how expertly they design practical objects of beauty, utilising novel optic methods to produce a unique sparkling aesthetic while increasing surface area. In contrast, their Extreme range exaggerates contours to encourage aroma development, resulting in big, beautiful, oversized bowls that never fail to impress. This design balance permeats their whole line and together with their unmatched experience, is why we're so comfortable appointing them to The List.
