Riedel Crystal of America

The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make. (Quote: Robert M. Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate) The Riedel family has never stamped its name on a single bottle of wine. But over the past 50 years, this Austrian clan of master glassmakers has done more to enhance the oenophiles pleasure than almost any winemaking dynasty.

He is thus the inventor of the functional wine glass. Make a journey through our world of glasses and senses.
