Tequila Set

Riedel Crystal’s Ouverture Tequila Glass highlights the finest characteristics of Mexico’s national drink. The glass, designated the Official Tequila Glass by the Consejo Regulador del Tequila, was designed to enhance Mexico’s finest Reposados, Añejos and Reservas de Casa Tequilas.

The glass was designed at two tasting workshops led by Georg Riedel and attended by over two dozen Tequila producers, officials and cognoscenti. The tastings utilized twelve 100% Agave Tequila Reposados, aged eight months. Each workshop consisted of four rounds of tastings, during which three to four glasses were eliminated each time until there was a final unanimous decision on the winning shape.

The Riedel Ouverture Tequila Glass has a tall stem, meant to lift fine Tequila to the level it deserves, to accord it the appreciation and respect of which it is worthy, and comes packed four to a black box decorated with drawings of the blue agave plant.
