Microwave Cooking for One by Marie T Smith
Setting the Table: Glassware
Spiegelau Glassware
The earliest known reference to Spiegelau dates back to 1521, almost
to the time of the discovery of the American Continent. The Spiegelau Crystal business
is located in the small town of Spiegelau in the heart of the Bavarian Forest about 40kms
north of Passau. Being one of the most picturesque parts of Germany, this area has in
recent times become as much a center of tourism as well as a traditional center of
glassmaking.
Today, the Spiegelau brand has become synonymous with prestige
quality glassware especially in the area of Connoisseur Wineglasses to leading world
sommeliers, wine connoisseurs and discerning gourmet product retailers. Internationally,
some of the finest restaurants, hotels and airlines use Spiegelau Glassware.

Vino Grande Collection — Several years ago, an
article in Wine Spectator magazine noted the importance of a high-quality
glass for improving a wine's looks and enhancing its bouquet. However, the magazine
lamented, many of the attributes that increase the beauty and value of the glass
actually obscure the wine. Spiegelau's Vino Grande series is part of a connoisseur
line designed specifically for wine lovers. The thin rim means less distraction from
the taste and texture of the wine. Tap the glass gently with your fingernail and you'll
hear the distinctive ping of fine crystal. |

Bottle Stoppers — These lovely crystal bottle stopper adds
just the right touch of sunset-tinged elegance to your wet bar or dining table. |
