Riedel Performance Champagne Wine Glass, Set of 2

Celebrate Champagne's full complexity with the Riedel Performance Champagne Wine Glass (6884/28) — a glass that applies the same groundbreaking optic impact technology of the Performance collection to the most celebratory wine in the world, and in doing so, makes a compelling case for retiring the narrow flute entirely. Co-designed by Georg and Maximilian Riedel in 2018, this glass is the most technologically advanced Champagne glass Riedel has ever produced.

Two innovations work together here. The egg-shaped bowl with optic impact — a structured ridged pattern inside the bowl that increases the inner surface area — allows Champagne's wide range of aromatics to unfold, grow, and intensify in ways a smooth-walled narrow flute structurally prevents. The larger rim diameter then releases those layered aromas — fresh fruitiness, red berry character, pinewood, citrus, and the toasty, brioche complexity of fine Champagne — directly to the nose in full, rather than filtering them through the pinched opening of a conventional flute. A precision sparkling point at the base generates a continuous fine stream of bubbles throughout the glass, maintaining the visual elegance and textural freshness that define great Champagne from first pour to final sip.

The shape emphasizes Champagne's fresh fruitiness while tempering its high acidity — making it equally outstanding for typically tart, dry Rosé Champagnes, which benefit significantly from the more open bowl format. At a precise 13 oz capacity and 9-5/8" tall, this glass is sized for a proper Champagne pour that honors the wine rather than overwhelming it. Machine-made lead-free crystal. Dishwasher safe. Sold individually. Recommended for Champagne, Rosé Champagne, Crémant, Cava, Franciacorta, Prosecco, and Sekt. From Riedel since 1756.

Key Product Features

• The Most Technologically Advanced Champagne Glass Riedel Has Ever Produced: Co-designed by Georg and Maximilian Riedel in 2018, combining the Performance collection's groundbreaking optic impact bowl with a larger rim diameter and precision sparkling point — making a compelling, technology-backed case for replacing the narrow flute with a glass genuinely engineered to reveal everything great Champagne has to offer.
• Optic Impact Egg-Shaped Bowl — Allows Full Aromatic Range to Unfold & Intensify: The unique light optic impact pattern inside the egg-shaped bowl increases the inner surface area, allowing Champagne's complex layers of fresh fruitiness, red berry, pinewood, citrus, brioche, and toasty character to unfold, grow, and intensify in ways a smooth-walled narrow flute structurally prevents.
• Larger Rim Diameter — Releases Layered Aromatics Directly to the Nose in Full: The wider rim diameter releases Champagne's layered aromatics directly to the nose rather than filtering them through a narrow opening — emphasizing fresh fruitiness while tempering high acidity, and making this glass especially outstanding for tart, dry Rosé Champagnes that benefit most from a more open bowl format.
• Precision Sparkling Point — Fine Continuous Effervescence from First Pour to Last: A precision-etched sparkling point at the base generates a continuous fine stream of bubbles throughout the glass — maintaining both the visual elegance and the textural freshness that define great Champagne from the first pour to the final sip, even in a wider, more open bowl.
• Sold Individually — 9-5/8" Tall, 13 oz — Machine-Made Lead-Free Crystal — Dishwasher Safe: Machine-made lead-free crystal for unsurpassed precision and the consistent execution the optic impact design demands. At 9-5/8" tall and precisely 13 oz — the ideal Champagne serving size. Dishwasher safe. Sold individually. From Riedel since 1756. Item 6884/28.
