PERFORMANCE OPTIC IMPACT
With three generations of research & development and experience in creating wine specific glassware Georg Riedel & Maximilian J. Riedel have created Performance; the ultimate loud speaker for fine wine. Lightweight, durable and dishwasher safe, Performance glasses are executed in sparkling crystal glass, and feature long fine stems and large stable bases. Performance’s unique optic impact not only adds a pleasing visual aspect to the bowl, but also increases the inner surface area, allowing the wine to open to fully show every aroma and subtle nuance. The grape varietal specific shapes in Performance, when combined with the optic impact, deliver ultimate wine enjoyment, making Performance the new essential ‘must-have’ wine glass collection for all wine-lovers.
Caring for your RIEDEL Crystal
RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe. RIEDEL exclusively recommends MIELE
To avoid stains: use soft water (low mineral content)
To avoid scratches: Avoid glass contact with other glass or metal
To remove stains: use white vinegar
If available use a stemware rack
If washing by hand
Wash the glass under warm water (use detergent and rinse the glass carefully)
Glass polishing: Use two polishing cloths, never hold the glass by the base to polish the bowl
Stem snap: Occurs through mishandling = torque or bend pressure at the stem
Storage: Avoid glass storage in kitchen cabinets which have strong aromas that translates into glass
Microfiber Polishing Cloth
Wash at boiling temperature (to kill bacteria) with odorless soap
Should be machine washed at min. 170° F/75° C
Never use fabric softener when rinsing your microfiber polishing cloth (avoids grease film on surface)
