Atlanta, December 23, 2009: Quality Wine & Spirits, Inc. announced effective Jan. 1, 2010, it will offer glassware made from a traditional handicraft by Austrian master glassmakers, Riedel – The Wine Glass Company.

"The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make." – Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Claus Riedel was the first person to design its shape according to the character of the wine, and is thus considered the inventor of the functional wine glass. Working with experienced tasters, Riedel discovered that wine enjoyed from his glasses showed more depth and better balance than when served in other glasses. Claus Riedel laid the groundwork for stemware which was functional as well as beautiful, and made according to the Bauhaus design principle: form follows function.

You don't need to be a wine writer, a wine maker or an expert to taste the difference that a Riedel glass can make.

"The Riedel family has never stamped its name on a single bottle of wine. But over the past 50 years, this Austrian clan of master glassmakers has done more to enhance the oenophile's pleasure than almost any winemaking dynasty". – Time Magazine

Quality will offer both the Riedel Retail and Riedel Restaurant product lines.
