Whether it’s birthdays, dinner evenings or simply relaxing on the couch – a glass of wine adds luxury to any occasion. Even in the Middle Ages, wine was enjoyed from special goblets both functional and aesthetic. It's often said the wine glass is as important as the wine itself. And it’s true. The unique shape confers even more flavor to the grape drink. And it's a real eye-catcher. At Ritzenhoff, you’ll discover wine glasses in various shapes and unique designs. Whether you are looking for white or red wine glasses, simple or decorative, individual pieces or complete sets – explore our selection and find your new favorite wine glasses.

Which Wine Glass Is Suitable for Which Wine?

Wine glasses come in many shapes, colors, and sizes, but not every glass is suited for every wine. There are notable differences between red wine glasses and white wine glasses. We’ll help you find the perfect glass for your favorite wine.

Red Wine Glasses

Whether it’s a Pinot Noir, Dornfelder or Merlot, we recommend using a red wine glass. Being larger than white wine glasses and characterized by their round shape, the glass allows enough oxygen to reach the wine, helping it to breathe better. As a result, the wine's aromas fully develop, turning it into an unforgettable experience. Discover our high-quality range of red wine glasses.

White Wine Glasses

Prefer a Riesling, Pinot Gris or Chardonnay? Then a white wine glass is what you need. White wine glasses are smaller than red wine glasses and have a slightly less rounded shape. A design that is perfect for fruity and sparkling wines. The acidity stays in check, while the flavors can come alive. Explore our diverse selection of white wine glasses.
