Frequently Asked Questions

What wines does this glass suit?
It's shaped for bold, structured reds. The diamond shaped bowl is built to soften tannins and bring out fruit character in full bodied wines, the kind of structure you'd expect from a Cabernet Sauvignon or a big, tannic Bordeaux blend.

How many glasses come in the box?
This listing is a set of 2 glasses, both the same Veloce Cabernet shape. That's a matched pair for two people at the table, or a starting pair you can add to later as your own stemware collection grows over time.

Can I put these in the dishwasher?
Yes. These are dishwasher safe, unlike Riedel's fully handmade crystal lines, which are typically hand wash only. That makes the Veloce line a practical everyday choice for a big, structured red without the upkeep hand blown stemware usually demands of you.

What size are these glasses?
Each glass stands 247 mm tall with an 829 ml capacity, a notably large bowl. That extra room is what lets a bold, tannic red open up and soften, rather than taste tight and closed straight out of the bottle.

What are these glasses made of?
They're clear crystal glass, part of Riedel's Veloce line, machine made to the same varietal specific bowl profiles as the brand's handmade stemware. Each glass also carries a varietal engraving on the base, so the shape stays identifiable over years of use.
