The Riedel Sommeliers R-Black Series Sparkling glass is as much a piece of art as it is a wine glass. Made from striking black crystal with a unique red glass detail on the stem, it brings a bold and elegant vibe to any celebration. Designed specifically for light, fresh, and dry sparkling wines, this glass delivers those famous fine bubbles right to the tip of your tongue for the perfect tasting experience. 

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.
