Riedel Winewings Champagne Wine Glass, Single Glass

Hear what great Champagne truly sounds like — with the Riedel Winewings Champagne Wine Glass (1234/28). The sole Champagne glass in Georg Riedel's revolutionary seven-shape Winewings collection — his self-described "swansong" and the culmination of 47 years designing the world's finest wine glasses — this is a glass that rejects the narrow flute entirely in favor of something far more audacious: a flat-bottomed, wing-shaped bowl with a wide rim diameter that functions, in Georg's own words, as a "loudspeaker" for Champagne's complex, layered aromatics.

Where a conventional flute restricts Champagne's bouquet to a thin, upward stream of carbonation, the Winewings Champagne glass opens the full range of the wine's aromatics — fruit, minerality, brioche, citrus, toast, and the subtle yeast complexity that defines prestige cuvées and vintage Champagnes — allowing them to unfold, grow, and intensify in the wider bowl in a way that a narrow glass structurally prevents. The larger rim diameter then releases those layered aromatics directly to the nose in full, rather than filtering them through a narrow opening that mutes delicate notes before they can be perceived.

The flat, stretched, wing-shaped base — inspired by the wing of an aircraft — maximizes the surface area between Champagne and air for greater evaporation and aroma intensity, while a precision-etched sparkling point at the base generates a continuous fine stream of bubbles throughout the glass for both visual elegance and textural freshness. At 9.84" tall and approximately 25 oz capacity, this is a Champagne glass with genuine presence and an absolutely distinct philosophy. Machine-made lead-free crystal. Dishwasher safe. Sold individually. Recommended for Champagne and Rosé Champagne. From Riedel since 1756.

Key Product Features

• Georg Riedel's "Loudspeaker" for Champagne — The Winewings Antidote to the Narrow Flute: Described by Georg Riedel as a "loudspeaker" for Champagne and the culmination of his 47-year career designing wine glasses, the Winewings Champagne glass rejects the narrow flute entirely — replacing its restrictive silhouette with a wide-rimmed, flat-bottomed bowl that allows Champagne's full aromatic range to unfold, grow, and intensify in ways a narrow glass structurally prevents.
• Flat Wing-Shaped Base — Maximum Surface Area for Greater Aroma Intensity: The flat, stretched, wing-shaped base — inspired by the wing of an aircraft, complete with winglets — dramatically increases the surface area between Champagne and air, accelerating evaporation and generating significantly greater aroma intensity than a conventional flute or Champagne bowl, bringing the nose closer to the wine's full layered bouquet with every sip.
• Large Rim Diameter Releases Full Aromatic Range — Fruit, Minerality, Brioche & Yeast Complexity: The wider rim diameter releases Champagne's complete spectrum of aromas — fruit, minerality, brioche, citrus, toast, and the subtle yeast complexity that defines prestige cuvées and vintage Champagnes — directly to the nose in full, rather than filtering them through a narrow opening that mutes delicate notes before they can be perceived.
• Precision-Etched Sparkling Point — Fine Continuous Effervescence from First Pour to Last: A precision-etched nucleation point at the base generates a continuous fine stream of bubbles throughout the glass — maintaining both the visual spectacle and textural freshness of great Champagne from the first pour to the final sip, even in a wider, more open bowl.
