The Pinot Noir glass is perfect for light-bodied red wines with high acidity and moderate tannin. This glass highlights the rich fruit-forward characters and tempers the high acidity of the wine. The balloon-shaped bowl captures all the nuances of the wine's aroma.

Riedel, Vinum was created to ensure every wine lover could afford varietal-specific glassware. Based on the handmade Sommeliers range, machine production means Vinum can be offered at a more accessible price.

The difference between New World and Old World Pinot Noir comes down to where it’s grown, how it’s made, and how it tastes—all shaped by climate, winemaking traditions, and terroir.

Old World Pinot Noir

Regions: France (especially Burgundy), Germany (Spätburgunder), Austria, Italy

Characteristics:

• Earthy and elegant
• More terroir-driven (soil and site expression)
• Flavors: cherry, raspberry, forest floor, mushroom, spice
• Higher acidity, lower alcohol
• Often lighter-bodied, with fine tannins
• Subtle oak use (if any)

Old World styles focus on structure, finesse, and aging potential. Burgundy is the benchmark: delicate, complex, and savory.

New World Pinot Noir

Regions: USA (California, Oregon), New Zealand, Australia, Chile, South Africa

Characteristics:

• Fruit-forward and lush
• Riper due to warmer climates
• Flavors: ripe cherry, strawberry, cola, vanilla, toast
• Often higher alcohol, softer acidity
• More generous use of new oak (vanilla, spice notes)
• Fuller-bodied, more immediate appeal

New World styles are more about richness, opulence, and approachability.
