“Maybe alcohol picks you up a little bit, but it sure lets you down in a hurry.”     (Betty Ford)

The Essential Ingredient Newcastle is all about helping you create the perfect ambiance in order to enjoy your culinary creations.  For many of us a good meal is accompanied by a glass (or two) of wine. 

Riedel glassware is made according to the Bauhaus design principle: form follows function.  Professor Claus J. Riedel was the first designer to recognize that the bouquet, taste, balance and finish of wines are affected by the shape of the glass from which they are drunk.  No longer are we left with the dilemma - white or red wine glass; now we need to decide …Riesling, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet….the list goes on and on.  These are truly must haves for the wine connoisseur.

The newest item in our glassware collection is the wonderful STOLZLE GRANDEZZA. This fabulous find is virtually unbreakable (it is made from toughened glass) but looks and feels like crystal.
