2. Operating Instructions
The Riedel Wine Friendly 001 - Magnum glass is designed as an all-round glass suitable for both red and white wines. Its generous bowl allows for optimal aeration and appreciation of the wine's aromas.
- Holding the Glass: Always hold the wine glass by its stem to prevent warming the wine with your hand and to avoid leaving fingerprints on the bowl.
- Pouring Wine: Fill the glass to its widest point, typically about one-third to one-half full, to allow sufficient space for swirling and aroma concentration. The glass has a capacity of 35.10 ounces.
- Swirling: Gently swirl the wine in the glass to release its aromatic compounds. The shape of the bowl is optimized for this purpose.

3. Care and Maintenance
Your Riedel Wine Friendly 001 - Magnum glasses are made of crystal glass and are designed for durability with proper care.
- Dishwasher Safe: These glasses are machine washable. Place them carefully in the dishwasher, ensuring they do not touch other items to prevent chipping or breakage. Use a gentle cycle and a mild detergent.
- Hand Washing: For optimal care and to maintain their pristine condition, hand washing is recommended. Use warm water and a soft sponge with a small amount of dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and polish with a lint-free cloth for a streak-free shine.
- Storage: Store glasses upright or hanging from a stemware rack to prevent dust accumulation inside the bowl and to protect the rim.
4. Troubleshooting
While Riedel glasses are crafted for quality, proper handling is essential to prevent common issues.
- Breakage: Crystal glassware is delicate. Avoid sudden temperature changes, impacts, or excessive pressure on the stem or bowl. Handle with care, especially during washing and storage.
- Water Spots/Streaks: To prevent water spots, ensure glasses are thoroughly rinsed and dried immediately after washing. Use a microfiber polishing cloth for best results.
