According to experts, the ideal glass for these types of wines is one with the bottom should be wider and narrower mouth, for in this way to extract the highest qualities of Tempranillo wines, both young and voluptuous (with one small glass), as of the most tannic aged in wood for a long time (for which there is a glass of greater volumes).

The story begins in 1756 in Bohemia and continues right down to the united Europe of today, taking in on the way some of the most dramatic events in European history.
The Riedel family has been in the glass business for 300 years, with 11 generations keeping the family business intact.... The Riedel story begins in 1678 in the northern part of Bohemia, bordering Schlesia – today the Czech republic and Poland respectively. This part of Bohemia was a German speaking enclave known as the Sudetenland.
The Venetians brought back the knowledge of glass making from the Near East around 1.000 A.D. The knowledge of producing glass spread slowly towards the northern part of Europe, searching for energy, critical to the melting of glass. Wood was the source, causing a glassmaker migration to the forests. Due to this migration, a glass culture developed in Bohemia in the 17th century.
Tradition and innovation - the Riedel company can proudly look back on its 250-year success story. From its beginnings in northern Bohemia down to this day, for 11 generations (for now) Riedel Glass has stood for the high art of glassmaking.
In 1673, when Johann Christoph Riedel was born in the Bohemian town of Neuschloß, no one could have guessed that this was also the birth of one of the greatest glass enterprises in the world.
This Bohemian glass merchant was the starting point for a direct line through several generations down to today´s corporate head Georg J. Riedel and his son Maximillian. Each Riedel in this long chain has been able to contribute his personal skills and views to expand the company´s success and make it what it is today.
