Know before you buy
The signature blue drop is crafted directly into the crystal during the glassblowing process, ensuring it remains vibrant and won't fade or peel over time.
Yes, the 37-ounce capacity is more than enough to hold a standard 750ml bottle of wine, leaving plenty of room at the top for the wine to breathe and aerate properly.
The carafe is designed with a balanced, slender neck that provides a natural grip for pouring. Its weight and diameter are optimized for steady handling, even when full.
While the lead-free crystal is durable, we recommend hand-washing this carafe with warm water and a mild detergent to maintain its clarity and prevent potential clouding or accidental breakage in the dishwasher.
The wide base of the carafe increases the surface area of the wine, which accelerates oxidation. This process helps soften tannins and allows the wine's bouquet to fully open up before serving.
