winewings (2020): Syrah

The RIEDEL Winewings Syrah Glass is part of the revolutionary Winewings collection, introduced by RIEDEL in 2020. This series represents a bold reinterpretation of the traditional wine glass, designed to maximize aeration and enhance wine expression through modern glass engineering.

Inspired by the shape of an airplane wing, the Winewings concept focuses on increasing the wine’s surface area inside the glass. The distinctive wide, flat-bottom bowl allows wine to spread across a larger surface, promoting faster oxygen interaction and accelerating aromatic development.

Crafted from fine crystal, the glass features a striking modern silhouette that differs from conventional wine glass shapes. This design allows structured wines like Syrah (Shiraz) to reveal their layered aromas more clearly while balancing fruit intensity, spice notes, and tannin structure.

Syrah wines are known for their dark fruit, peppery spice, and smoky undertones, and the Winewings Syrah glass helps highlight these characteristics while softening the wine’s powerful structure.

The Winewings series combines RIEDEL’s centuries-old expertise in glassmaking with contemporary innovation, creating a new generation of performance-driven wine glasses.
