From its beginnings in northern Bohemia down to this day, for 11 generations and 250 years, Riedel Glass has stood for the high art of glassmaking. So much more than mere receptacles, Riedel decanters and glasses are imbued with the idiosyncrasies of the wine they are charged to accentuate, turning wine consumption into a graceful, prosaic experience.
Blown in the traditional way, Riedel decanters are the absolute pinnacle of their field. Each one is designed with presentation, elegance and class in mind, whilst ensuring the wine is given every chance to breathe and greet the drinker in the best possible condition.
Why decant?
French wine making legend Christian Moueix: “Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to ensure that the wines' clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging."
Paradoxically, ‘extreme’ is a word that has come to define many things that are absolutely not that. Take the band Extreme, who described themselves as Funk Metal, yet had their biggest hit with the tawdry acoustic ballad ‘More Than Words’, which given that it was clear the song would not be a spoken word poem, seemed an unnecessary title. Then there are Extreme Sports, which are defined as any activity that has a high level of inherent danger. By that definition, driving to the corner store for a packet of cigarettes is an extreme sport, whereas sky diving, which has an average of less than 3 deaths per year, is not.
