We bought the award-winning Augustin wheat beer glasses and the Odyssé wine decanter. The Augustin line was developed via a collaboration between Maud Gjeruldsen Bugge (Hadeland’s current chief designer), and beer expert, Espen Smith. The shape is designed to intensify the fruity aroma of wheat beer and create a foamy head. (Like Germans, Scandinavians want their beer with a lot of froth, while Brits prefer the opposite.) For the Odyssé series, Hadeland consulted with Norway’s leading sommeliers to create a reasonably priced but elegant design. The wine glasses even come with a full replacement warranty if you break one! Which is why I’m now thinking about going back and buying the full set.
