Perfect for showcasing the finest characteristics of Mexico's national drink, this tequila glass is designated by the Consejo Regulador del Tequila as the official tequila glass. The shape of the glass was designed following two tasting workshops led by G. Riedel and attended by more than two dozen tequila producers and connoisseurs.
Port vintages are declared individually by each producer, depending on the year.
Different opinions on the ideal cognac glass are as old as the drink itself. Even today, cognac is mainly served in wide tulip-shaped glasses - in spite of the disadvantages which this traditional shape has for the enjoyment of cognac.
In early 1992, a panel of Scotch whisky experts convened at Riedel's headquarters in Austria to test a range of nineteen different glass shapes.
On the basis of this first selection, Georg Riedel undertook further research with the help of master distillers in Scotland.
