Wine needs space to breathe and that’s where THE FIRST collection comes into its own: offering connoisseurs like Enrico Bernardo the scope for interpretation that conservative glass collections lack. In a spirit of professional connoisseurship that may allow itself certain liberties, the glasses permit a more pronounced associative attribution to a wine’s particular flavours.

The body and rim of the glasses have been designed and produced in an elaborate manufacturing process to harmonise perfectly with exquisite wines.

Enrico Bernardo in the World’s best sommelier and he presides over the wine cellar of le cinq, the restaurant of the Four Seasons in Paris with three Michelin stars to its name. Manager of Bernardo Wine Consulting, Enrico Bernardo represents today a reference in the wine world. In order to live up to responsibility of his position, he requires a wineglass collection that will satisfy even the most discerning nose, eye and palate. That is why Enrico Bernardo joined with Zwiesel 1872 to design a collection they have named ‘THE FIRST’. Thanks to its clear-cut design philosophy combined with perfect workmanship, THE FIRST leads true class to top wines.

Our passion for quality is shared by Enrico Bernardo, winner of the Sommelier World Championship held in Athens in 2004. Enrico Bernardo and Zwiesel 1872 have worked together to create a new collection of sommelier wine glasses that satisfy the highest demands for function and style. The result? THE FIRST by Enrico Bernardo.

Wine glasses are a palate which will affect the aroma and taste of a wine. So a top sommelier like Enrico Bernardo is acutely aware of the quality and design of the glasses he uses.
