Riedel takes your wine for a spin with the new Swirl collection. Standing 9.5" tall, the Swirl decanter is an affordably priced, machine-made design. For the more relaxed wine drinker looking for a simpler design, the Swirl decanter is the perfect addition to their wine accessory collection.

Riedel O Swirl - Red & White

The new Riedel Swirl collection is named for the ripple shape and subtle grooves that help glide or swirl your wine around the vessel. With just a slight movement of your hand, the wine is effortlessly opened and aerated with each gentle swirl. The stemless Swirl glasses are available in a two pack that embrace the same care-free, relaxed attitude as the Riedel O series, which pioneered the concept of casual wine glass. Wine-friendly with everyday appeal, Swirl is dishwasher safe and stackable, making them ideal for anyone with limited storage.

WMF Pressure Cooker 4.5L

The quick and healthy way to cook. Use the WMF pressure cooker and the healthy nutrients remain in the food – in contrast to the microwave. WMF pressure cookers are safe, easy-care and you not only cook quicker with the WMF, but more gently, aromatically and with more diversity. The cooking time is reduced by up to 70% compared to traditional cooking, which retains vitamins and minerals and saves time as well as up to 50% energy. If you cook food in its own juice, the aroma and original taste of the food remains intense. A WMF pressure cooker has many versatile uses in the kitchen: among others you can cook soups and stews, fry meat quickly and braise, stew and steam vegetables or poultry, defreeze frozen food, preserve different kinds of food and much more. The 4.5 litre pressure cooker is the all-rounder in the kitchen enabling you to quickly prepare side dishes and to cook stews and soups in larger quantities.
