RW Vinexpo & Booth Partners

RW International had the pleasure to partner with a number of key companies for both the exhibition and RW International Symposium. Their integral and influential position within the wine industry made their partnership most important to our success.

Glassware Partners:
SCHOTT ZWIESEL – The New Cru Classic
With Schott Zwiesel, Zwiesel Kristallglas is setting new standards. With special glass series ideal for beverages, the brand is the world leader in international top-class gastronomy and in the hotel industry. Schott Zwiesel is the number one choice amongst chefs, barkeepers and sommeliers in over 100 countries who treasure the functionality, diverse design forms and the outstanding features of Tritan® crystal glass.

CRU CLASSIC SERIES In addition to the proven classics from Schott Zwiesel, there is now a special glass series in the top class: CRU Classic. Characteristic for CRU Classic is the perfect combination of enjoyment and intentional reduction. The number of glass forms is restricted to the most important sizes. CRU Classic offers eleven sizes that are ideal for beverages: Three red wine glasses (an all-around red wine glass as well as glasses for Burgundies and Bordeaux), two white wine glasses (for Riesling and Chardonnay), a glass for rosé in order to follow the current rosé trend, two glasses for sparkling wines (champagnes and other sparkling wines) as well as two digestif glasses (for Grappa and Cognac). A water glass complements the series.

As with all Schott Zwiesel products, the CRU CLASSIC has been produced with the internationally patented Tritan® technology, Schott Zwiesel offers a crystal glass which is extremely brilliant, break- and scratch-resistant as well as able to be cleaned in the dishwasher. This creates the perfect synthesis between design and user-friendliness which private pleasure-seekers as well as experienced connoisseurs can appreciate.
