The Riedel Amadeo collection is one of the newest from the Austrian company, which is celebrating its 250th anniversary this year. The Amadeo name commemorates the fact that this is also Mozart's 250th anniversary year. According to their website, founder Claus Riedel was the first glass-maker to create wine glasses that varied in shape according to the wine they were to contain. The Amadeo Lyra Crystal decanter takes its name from its unique shape. It holds 59 ounces of your favorite wine, young or old, allowing it to breathe and have the clarity of its flavor shine through. Price: $300.
