Austrian glassmaker Riedel has gone to the birds! Inspired by the bird life of Murano, that Venetian island famed for its glassware, the company has designed a brilliant set of lead-crystal decanters that are all as graceful as the birds they represent:. The Swan with it's swooping body, the Flamingo, with it's long slender neck and the Paloma's dove-like curves are all captured in these sleek and modern decanters. Not only are they beautiful works of art but they are masterpieces of function as well, exposing wine to oxygen, a chemical reaction known as aeration, which greatly improves the wine's taste.
