IntroductionWelcome to the very first Festival dedicated to the really fine wine and food that 1066 Country offers.

Individual restaurants, bars, vineyards and merchants are supporting this celebration of the culture of eating and drinking well. They will be hosting wine themed events: tastings, food and wine pairing, special offers and discounts – all available to holders of our special Festival Card. The card – priced at just £5 – also gives three months free membership of the Hastings Card with many other special offers and reductions at shops and attractions.

Where to buy your Festival CardThe card can be bought from all participating businesses, Tourist Information Centres and our stalls in Priory Meadow on Saturday 13 and 20 June and at the Hastings Midsummer Fish Fest at the Stade on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 June, or via our website: www.1066wineandfoodfestival.com.

Don’t forget the tutored wine tastings in the Classroom on the Coast on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June with the Essential Wine School.

At the same time, next door in the Stade Hall there will be a Wine Fair with tastings and bargains to be had.

So – enjoy the week; look out for Festival posters telling you where you can use your card and always drink responsibly – but still have plenty of fun!

aBout rieDel GlasswareProfessor Claus J. riedel was the first designer to recognise that the bouquet, taste, balance and finish of wines are affected by the shape of the glass from which they are consumed. More than 50 years ago he began his pioneering work to create stemware that would match and complement different wines and spirits.

In the late 1950s, riedel started to produce glasses, which at that time were a design revolution. Thin-blown, unadorned, reducing the design to its essence: bowl, stem, base. Working with experienced tasters, riedel discovered that wine enjoyed from his glasses showed more depth and better balance than when served in other glasses. He laid the groundwork for stemware which was functional as well as beautiful, and made according to the Bauhaus design principle: form follows function.

In 1961 a revolutionary concept was introduced, when the riedel catalogue featured the first line of wine glasses created in different sizes and shapes. Before this, conventional stemware had used a single basic bowl shape, with only the size varying depending on use. The concept was illustrated to perfection with the introduction of the Sommeliers series in 1973, which achieved worldwide recognition.

A glass was born that turns a sip into a celebration – a wine’s best friend – fine-tuned to match the grape!
