Dishwasher-safe; glass-cleaning beads recommended for the interior, per Riedel
Range
Riedel Cabernet

A specific cleaning recommendation, stated plainly

Riedel’s own guidance for this decanter recommends glass-cleaning beads for the interior — a small, agitated abrasive that reaches into a narrow neck a dishwasher or bottle brush can’t. That’s a concrete, checkable piece of care advice rather than a vague “hand wash only” instruction.

How it differs from the Performance decanter

Both are dishwasher-safe Riedel crystal decanters at a similar price. This one is named for and shaped around Cabernet-style reds specifically, while the Performance decanter is the more general-purpose option in Riedel’s machine-made range.
