Professor Claus J. Riedel (9th generation) was the first designer in history to recognise that the taste of wine is affected by the shape of the glass from which it is consumed. He began experimenting to create stemware that would match and complement specific wines and spirits. In 1961, a revolutionary concept was born when Riedel introduced the first line of wine glasses in different shapes and sizes to match different grape varietals.
Claus identified what would become the most important quality of Riedel glassware: that the precise shape and angle of the bowl affected how the wine interacted with all of one’s senses, helping to paint a full “taste picture.”

Früh am Dom: This Brauhaus (Brewhouse) is probably the best located in Koln (along the river Rhine) and very famous for the quality Kölsch they produce. Disappearing into tiny nooks and corners at various levels, just seeing the place is a treat!

“There is only one Ghost Deer head and this beer will only ever be available on draft, served in a stemmed glass, direct from the mouth of the deer himself. The elusive deer is going to be resident in BrewDog Edinburgh for a very limited time period commencing at 7.30pm on Wednesday the 7th of September. The deer himself will decide where he will next appear.” -BrewDog
