The toast of New York - Riedel stemless crystalware

The hottest brand this spring in New York has to be Riedel; with their new stemless wineglasses, they are quite literally the toast of the city! Uber style conscious Manhattanites are swapping their traditional crystalware for these oh so chic new kids on the block.

The ‘O’ collection from Riedel has two distinct advantages over its pedestrian predecessors; their lower centre of gravity means that extravagant arm gestures at the dining table are once again de rigueur with no risk to your good table linen or priceless rugs and secondly - a big boon for those of us that know the impossibility of fitting decent sized glasses into the dishwasher - the lack of stem results in the Riedel glasses nestling neatly in the machine and emerging sparkling and intact. (A top tip here when cleaning glasses in the dishwasher, always use a gel or liquid as powder effectively sandblasts the lustre off of the glass). Riedel was the first company in the world to recognize that wines from different grapes can be better enjoyed from different shape bowls, Maximilian Riedel, eleventh generation son of this prolific Viennese manufacturing company, employed this technology and took it one step further when he released this, his first design collection, into the market. Like previous Riedel releases, the ‘O’ collection has gone down a storm with the connoisseur and aesthete alike.
