Riedel Wine Glasses
Riedel wine glasses are considered the world over to be the ultimate in wine glasses. They were first presented to the world in 1973 and have gained a cult following with Sommeliers around the world. They were praised by famed wine fanatic Robert Parker Jr as "The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes..."
Since 1973 the range has grown from the initial set of ten sommeliers glasses to a huge variety covering all the main (and most of the smaller) grape varieties. Riedel has also developed a wonderful range of decanters as well as stemless wine glass tumblers.
Port Wine Glasses: Port wine glasses differ from normal wine glasses in their shape and style. From vintage cut-glass and crystal to the state-of-the-art official glasses designed by Alvaro Sisa, a good quality port glass can make all the difference when drinking this special fortified wine.
Spiegelau Wine Glasses: Like Riedel, Spiegelau has been commited to developing and producing outstanding wine glasses for many years. The company was purchased by the owner of Riedel Glass Works in 2004. If you are looking for an alternative to traditional Riedel glass, then Speigelau glasses are a good choice. They also make a range of beer, bar and cocktail glasses.
Colored Wine Glasses: As an alternative to plain glass, colored wine glasses can perfectly compliment any table setting, adding a contempory touch to any occasion. Although it is true they interfere with studying the colour of the wine being served, if you're just looking to enjoy yourself, go ahead and grab some colored wine glasses.
Decorative Wine Glasses: Although experts would baulk at the idea or using a decorative glass, those of us without such pretenses of expertise can happily quaff away from a decorative glass safe in the knowledge we're just enjoying our vino on our own terms.
