Libbey Takes Premium Glassware to New Heights

Written by Pitch Engine

Rivere raises the bar for impeccable beverage experiences

Rivere, the newest pattern in the Master's Reserve^® collection from Libbey^® Foodservice, evokes a new standard for elegance and sophistication for premium glassware. Its elongated, svelte stem adds striking elevation to crafted cocktail presentations.

“One glance at the stunning Rivere pattern and you’ll be drawn to its spectacular height,” said Susan J. Dountas, director of foodservice marketing for Libbey Inc. “Its stature adds an element of intrigue that certainly will grab guests’ attention.”

The modern look of the Rivere glassware features a wide, gracefully designed bowl that cradles the wine and concentrates aromas while the large surface area allows wine to breathe. Other distinguishing features of glassware in the Master’s Reserve collection include sparkling clarity; thin, beadless edge; and signature flat foot.

The dramatic design of the Rivere glassware combined with its uncompromising performance and durability deliver on restaurateurs’ dual desires – exquisite presentation and profitability,” Dountas added.

Rivere is the third stemware pattern in the Master’s Reserve collection, joining Renaissance and Prism. New glassware will be added to the collection in 2016.
