MouseL’Ivresse des Bois (Woods of Euphoria) Marcel Wanders, a self-professed hedonist of great wines, focuses his talent and humor on wine glasses and carafes—which often have little character. Working with an oenologist, he added a Burgundy, Bordeaux and Champagne glass to the traditional blank, featuring elegantly turned stems engraved with his favorite seal. The famous clown’s nose that pops up in his collections has become a motif for the stem and the stopper, produced in Baccarat red or clear crystal. Two magnificently elegant carafes—including one decanter—complete this sophisticated line geared to all design and wine connoisseurs.
