Boa Vin carafe is a carafe that really gives an impression. The Boa Wine Carafe from Riedel is shaped like a snake winding in a spiral and was designed to draw attention to the Chinese "Year of the Snake". The end of the carafe itself has been fitted with a small bend that allows it to act as a support for the carafe. The neck is curved, which both gives an elegant impression but also helps to oxygenate the wine on the way to the glass. The rotating motion required to serve contributes to additional oxygenation. A very beautiful Wine Carafe.
Decanting wine is crucial for the taste experience as it opens up the flavors and contributes to the removal of sulfates from the wine. Then it is always nice to be served from a beautiful carafe instead of a Bag in Box for example.
Riedel – World-Class Glass Since 1756. Few names in glassmaking are as closely associated with quality, tradition, and innovation as Riedel. This venerable family business has, for over 11 generations, been synonymous with elegance and precision – and has gained worldwide recognition for its exclusive wine glasses that elevate the tasting experience to new heights.
The story of Riedel begins in 1756, when Johann Christoph Riedel laid the foundation for what would become one of the world’s most respected glassmakers. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the family established their operations in Bohemia, one of Europe’s major glassmaking regions. Across generations, knowledge and craftsmanship were passed down – an unbroken chain of glass passion.
The major breakthrough came in the 1950s under the leadership of Claus J. Riedel, who revolutionized glass art by creating the first wine glass tailored to the grape variety. Instead of just being beautiful, the glasses now also enhanced taste and aroma – an idea that would forever change the world of wine.
Riedel’s philosophy is simple but profound: the shape of the glass influences the experience of the drink. Every glass is carefully designed to highlight aroma, balance, and structure – whether it’s Burgundy, Riesling, or Champagne.
Today, the company is led by Maximilian J. Riedel, and the glasses are manufactured in both Austria and Germany, with the same uncompromising focus on quality. Riedel remains a true family business – proud of its history, but always looking forward.
With over 250 years of experience, Riedel continues to shape glasses that are not just vessels, but instruments – crafted to bring out the best in every beverage. A tradition of excellence, in every curved bowl and polished rim.
