Riedel’s Grand Wine Glass collection was born in 1958 when ‘Pokal Hoch’ was first exhibited at the World Exhibition in Brussels. The glass was instantly awarded with a ‘Grand Prix’ for its creative and striking design. Shortly after, New York’s museum of Modern Art selected it for their permanent collection as a significant 1960s design.
Today the ‘Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru’ is the Linchpin of the Mouth-Blown Sommeliers collection. Each hand-crafter glass is touched by 25 skilled artisans on its way from Molten Crystal to one of the most coveted glasses among Wine Lovers. Named by Decanter Magazine in 1989 ‘The Best Burgundy Glass of All Time’.
50 Years later we celebrate the anniversary of this iconic glass by presenting ‘Sommeliers Black Tie’ Based on the times original shapes, these classic and elegant glasses feature a tall Black Stem on the specific Red Wine Glasses and a Black Base with Crystal Stem on the White Wine Glasses.
