When enjoying delicious wine, not only the wine but also the vessel is important.
This time, we will introduce "RIVERET Wine Vessel," a wine glass made from the natural material "Moso Bamboo."

What is Merlot Wine?

Merlot wine is a red wine made from the grape variety "Merlot" native to the Bordeaux region of France. It is loved all over the world, just like Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir.
It is considered the most widely produced variety of black grapes grown in France. It is also cultivated around the world because it is highly productive and resistant to diseases. It is also widely cultivated in Japan, with Nagano Prefecture being known as a famous production area.

Merlot characteristics

It has a deep, slightly vermilion color and the aroma of ripe fruits such as prunes and black cherries. It is mellow, smooth, and delicate in flavor.
It goes well with soft hamburger steaks, meatballs, stews, etc. It has less acidity and tannins than Cabernet Sauvignon, so it is recommended for those who are drinking red wine for the first time, those who have not liked red wine because of its astringency, and those who want to enjoy wine slowly.

What is RIVERET?

RIVERET is a brand that manufactures and sells products made from natural Moso bamboo. We manage as much as possible in-house, from growing the materials to manufacturing, shipping, and after-sales support. Our products, made with the beauty of natural materials and the outstanding craftsmanship of our artisans, can be used in a variety of everyday situations.
It is recommended not only for your own use, but also as a birthday or wedding gift.

Brand Concept

RIVERET is characterized by its carefully designed curves that fit comfortably in the hand and its emphasis on a natural texture that brings out the best in the ingredients served on it.
Moso bamboo is a resource that can be reused repeatedly with minimal land use, and RIVERET has adopted the concept of "living in harmony with nature." Generally speaking, it is more than twice as strong as wood, but research and development began in 1988 and we have succeeded in creating the delicate form we see today.

RIVERET wine vessel

The wine vessels sold by RIVERET are bamboo sake vessels made for enjoying wine. RIVERET created these vessels for wine, seeking the flavor that can only be expressed with bamboo.
Six types are available: Wine Vessel, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Sherry Vessel, Flute, and Goblet.

Features of the wine vessel

One of the characteristics of vessels made from natural bamboo is their low thermal conductivity. The tubes, called ducts, are arranged in a straight bundle, which acts as an insulator. This keeps the temperature of the vessel itself stable, and keeps the wine in optimal condition without interfering with its natural flavor.
The feel on the mouth is also different. Glass and ceramics feel cold and hard, but natural materials have a soft feel. The glass is also 2mm thin, so it doesn't interfere with the taste of the wine.
In addition, it has a proprietary coating that prevents color transfer and staining from wine, coffee, etc., making it ideal for everyday use.

Merlot wine served in a wine vessel

Merlot wine is originally a mellow and gentle-tasting wine. Its flavor and taste tend to become concentrated while retaining its original taste. It is said that the astringency unique to red wine and the original aroma of Merlot are brought out.
It also seems that the process of "decanting", in which the glass is swirled to incorporate air, is done simply by pouring, making the wine delicious.

summary

RIVERET manufactures vessels that have a soft impression that can only be achieved by using natural materials. Among them, wine vessels are made with a focus on how to make wine taste as delicious as possible.
You can enjoy the sophisticated silhouette and the aroma of the wine. It is recommended as a gift, as it can be used for yourself or personalized with a name. If you are a wine lover, why not consider buying one?
