Riedel wine glass Island 29 cl — lead-free crystal stemware, 290 ml capacity

Riedel wine glass Island 29 cl is a lead-free crystal stemware item designed to combine clarity, balance and everyday practicality. With a 290 ml capacity, the glass accommodates a range of red and white wines. The thin rim and gently shaped bowl support the concentration and delivery of wine aromas while the well-proportioned stem and base provide comfortable handling and stability. The glass is suitable for home use, tasting events and professional hospitality settings where neutral presentation and ease of care are required.

Advantages

The lead-free crystal construction offers high optical clarity without the use of lead while retaining good mechanical strength for regular use. The 290 ml bowl is shaped to promote aromatic expression for many wine styles and the thin rim improves tactile contact and tasting precision. The stem separates the bowl from hand heat, and the balanced base reduces tipping risk. The piece is designed with practical dishwasher-safe care in mind, subject to manufacturer's guidance.

How to use

Hold the glass by the stem to prevent warming the wine with your hand and to maintain clarity on the bowl. Pour to an appropriate fill level (commonly one-third to one-half of the bowl) to leave space for swirling and aroma concentration. Swirl gently when assessing the wine's bouquet, and bring the rim to the nose for smelling before sipping. After use, rinse or wash according to the manufacturer's care instructions; if using a dishwasher, place glasses securely to avoid contact and follow recommended temperature and detergent guidelines.

Usage recommendations

Use the Riedel Island 29 cl glass for wines where a controlled surface area and focused aroma delivery are beneficial. For best results, avoid heavy detergents, secure stems during machine washing, and inspect for chips before use in professional service.
