Riedel winewings (2020): Chardonnay

The RIEDEL Winewings Chardonnay Glass is part of the revolutionary Winewings collection, introduced by RIEDEL in 2020. This series represents a modern evolution of wine glass design, developed to maximize aeration and unlock the full aromatic expression of wine.

Inspired by the aerodynamic shape of an airplane wing, the Winewings concept features a wide, flat-bottom bowl that significantly increases the wine’s surface area. This allows the wine to interact with more oxygen, helping aromas and flavors develop more quickly inside the glass.

Crafted from fine crystal, the glass has a distinctive wide and horizontal bowl shape that differs from traditional wine glasses. This innovative structure helps highlight Chardonnay’s layered character, revealing notes of ripe fruit, citrus, creaminess, and subtle oak when present.

For richer Chardonnay styles—especially those from regions such as Burgundy, California, Australia, or New Zealand—the Winewings Chardonnay glass helps emphasize texture and balance, while maintaining freshness and elegance.

This design reflects RIEDEL’s philosophy that the shape of the glass plays a crucial role in how wine aromas and flavors are perceived, combining centuries of craftsmanship with modern wine science.
