Alumni Wine Club: Riedel Wine Glass Experience
An exclusive tasting hosted by the Vlerick Alumni Wine Club
When your mind drifts to the pleasures of drinking fine wine, how much thought do you give to the glass? RIEDEL is one of the leading producers of crystal glass worldwide – and they think of little else! In this masterclass we explore whether different RIEDEL glasses can change perceptions of aroma, structure and balance.
At the Vlerick Alumni Wine Club, we believe great wine deserves great context, so join us to pay attention to the container, as well as the contents.
This comparative tasting explores how different RIEDEL glasses – including some from its the ultra-light Veloce collection – can change your perceptions. You’ll discover firsthand how the architecture of each glass helps to influence aroma, enhance texture – and shape your overall experience.
This fascinating masterclass will be guided by Stijn Van der Beken. He’s the former sommelier of the Michelin-starred Hof van Cleve, and the owner of the bARMAZÉM wine bar in Oudenaarde. And as RIEDEL’s brand ambassador for Belgium, his expertise in this area is second to none.
