Eve is part of the collection of decanters snake by Maximilian Riedel year 2008. Made more than lead crystal and hand-blown in Bavaria, Germany. Dedicated to the family matriarch Eva Riedel, Eve decanter is part of the collection of decanters in the shape of a serpent designed by Maximilian Riedel. Sensual curves of lead crystal decanters for this eye-catching shape and dedicated to lovers of full-bodied wines. Eve has to be rotated 360 degrees to "load" the neck and allow the wine to travel around the curves of glass flowing. When you load the neck, it emits a sound likened to the sound of a king cobra, as the air is pumped through the wine. Eve anticipates the trend of "double decanting" and allows aeration of the wine when it is flowing in the coils of entry in the output and was awarded a patent by the German government. Beautifully packaged in signature black and red box Riedel, comes with an instructional DVD narrated by Maximilian Riedel, which explains the technical instructions for casting and cleaning. INFO We recommend using carbonated water at low cost to clean the decanter. NOTE: Due to the handcrafted, small tolerances on the size and weight of each decanter, bubbles, imperfections and variations of the surface, are a feature of the product.
