The Riedel Superleggero Champagne glass moves away from the traditional narrow flute in favour of an egg-shaped bowl that lets Champagne's aromatics develop more fully. Where a flute channels bubbles and restricts the surface area, the wider bowl allows the wine's bouquet — fruit, toast, brioche, autolytic complexity — to open up before reaching the nose. A sparkling point etched into the base encourages steady, fine bubble formation. The result is a glass that shows Champagne the way the best producers intend it to be experienced, rather than simply displaying the bubbles.

• Egg-shaped bowl: The wider, rounded bowl allows Champagne's aromatics to develop and concentrate before reaching the nose — a significant departure from a traditional flute, which restricts the surface area and limits how the wine expresses itself.
• Sparkling point: A point etched into the base encourages steady, fine bubble formation from a consistent source, improving the visual and sensory experience in the glass.
• 464ml capacity: Larger than a standard flute, giving the wine room to breathe. The correct pour is a standard 125ml measure, leaving the upper portion of the bowl free to gather aromas.
• Machine-made on Riedel's own equipment: Produced on an in-house machine for consistent bowl geometry and rim diameter across every glass in the range.
• Lead-free crystal: Made from lead-free crystal for clarity and a light, balanced feel in the hand.
