About Georg Riedel

Georg J Riedel’s personal and professional philosophies are one and the same. "I am a person who lives in the here and now, rather than looking back," says the head of Riedel Glas Austria. "Our commitment to quality requires constant innovation; therefore we regularly invest in the modernization of our production facilities, creating a significant number of new jobs in various markets,” Riedel explains. Based on a long-standing ethos of forward thinking, the company is guided in this philosophy by the tenth and eleventh generations of the Riedel family, Georg Riedel and his son Maximilian Riedel. Working closely with his father, and subsequently with a team of experts, winemakers and employees, Georg Riedel pioneered the development of wine-friendly and varietal-specific glass collections. Through various innovations in production technology, Riedel succeeded in expanding the range of the hallmark handmade Riedel Sommeliers glasses. Following his appointment to Chief Executive, he led the company to achieve great success, using his operational expertise and economic prowess. Georg Riedel has advocated his completely new approach to wine glasses on a global scale; function first, followed by beauty, executed with unparalleled perfection.
