Jacob Bang-Knudsen and Jeff Helmick visited glassworks in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic to learn how Riedel produces fine crystal wine glasses. The historic multi-generational producer continues to be a leading designer and manufacturer of hand-crafted and machine made crystal beverage ware.
