The Riedel Sommeliers R-Black Series Burgundy Grand Cru glass is a stunning blend of art and function. Crafted from bold black crystal with a signature red glass string wrapped in clear crystal on the stem, it makes a powerful statement on any table. Designed for classic and complex red wines like Burgundy and Pinot Noir, this glass lets the rich aromas and flavors fully shine through. More than just a wine glass, it’s a showpiece that elevates your tasting experience and adds a touch of luxury to your collection.

Sommeliers R-Black Series - Black, non-transparent, fine crystal, and blown into shape using the original molds, the Black Series celebrates this remarkable anniversary. 
Crystal turns black by adding Cobalt and Manganese to the composition. To raise the bar of glass making further, the stem of Sommelier 'R' Black Series was upgraded by adding a fine red glass string which is jacketed in clear crystal.
Sommeliers Black Series can be used as a drinking vessel but it is primarily considered as an object of beauty gracing the homes of wine collectors.
