Wine and tin — what Royal Selangor offers wine enthusiasts

The metal of wine

Glass is the dominant container for wine today — but it wasn't always so. Romans drank wine from pewter basins. Medieval European nobility served wine in silver and pewter jugs. And for the accessories — cooling bowls, decanters and serving equipment — pewter is still a material that is unmatched in combination with wine. Here's what Royal Selangor offers wine enthusiasts.

Vinifera collection

Royal Selangor's Vinifera collection is dedicated to the wine enthusiast. Grape vines, vine leaves and wine motifs decorate everything from cooling bowls and wine kitchen dishes to decorative pieces. Vinifera pieces are designed with the same care as wines are made: as a tribute to the fruit of the plant, to the character of the soil and to the craftsmanship behind it.

Tin's functional advantages for wine

Cooling bowls and ice bowls — Royal Selangor's pewter ice bowls keep white wine cold without electrical assistance. The thermal properties of the tin mean that the ice melts more slowly than in plastic alternatives, and the bowl's elegant shape elevates the table setting.

Decanting decanters — pewter is taste neutral and FDA approved for contact with acidic liquids such as wine. A Royal Selangor pewter decanter is not just decorative — it's functional.

Wine serving and accessories — Royal Selangor offers everything from drop rings to tin wine cooler stands. It is the accessories that elevate the wine table from ordinary to extraordinary.

Wine Celebration Collection

Wine Celebration is Royal Selangor's collection for those who celebrate with wine. Pieces from this collection are natural gifts for weddings, anniversaries and celebrations where wine plays a central role.

The gift for the wine-enthusiast

A Royal Selangor piece from the Vinifera or Wine Celebration collection is a gift that communicates that you know the recipient. It's for those who have everything from wine glasses and corkscrews — but not a piece of really exclusive pewter accessories. With the engraving of the recipient's name, it becomes something to remember.
