8 handmade Bruguny/Bordeaux glasses by 11th generation Austrian glass manufacturers Riedel (founded in 1756) in excellent, as new condition.
2 of the glasses still have their original Riedel single-packs - the Sommeliers line retails at 95£ per glass, so this set would cost almosy 800£ to purchase.
Their iconic handblown glassware is among the most beautiful, artisanal pieces to serve wine in.
These are from Riedel 's entirely hand-made and mouth-blown flagship line "Sommeliers " - this set also includes the legendary Sommeliers Burgundy glass which is probably the only piece of wine paraphernalia that is exhibited at the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) in Manhattan, NYC!
4 Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru glasses:
The most iconic and recognisable Burgundy glass in the world, exhibited at the MOMA.
This huge glass was one of the original designs that started the movement of varietal specific glassware in the 20th century.
A flared tulip shape that could theoretically be filled with the content of more than an entire standard bottle (the tech specs give the volume at 1050ccm) and which is perfectly suited to emphasise the perfume of pinot noir based wines.
Besides Burgundy and new world pinot it also works greatly with the great Italian wines like Barolo and Barbaresco and even with rich, oaked Chardonnays.
4 Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru glasses:
Created specifically to enjoy more tannic and fuller bodied red wines.
However, I find the glasses to work with any type of Cabernet or Merlot based wines, including New World variants.
These glasses have are elegant and tall with a huge bowl with a capacity of 860ccm!
