Know before you buy
No, the Castille Wine Glass is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the crystal and the vibrancy of the ruby red finish, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying with a soft, lint-free cloth.
The deep ruby hue is designed to add a sophisticated aesthetic to your table setting. While it creates a beautiful visual experience, it will mask the natural color of the wine, so it is best suited for those who prioritize presentation and ambiance over evaluating the wine's clarity.
No, this glass is not lead-free. It is crafted using traditional methods that utilize lead crystal to achieve its signature weight, brilliance, and light-refracting clarity.
With a 9.5 oz capacity, this glass is perfectly sized for medium-to-full-bodied red wines. The bowl shape is designed to concentrate aromas, making it an excellent choice for varietals like Merlot, Zinfandel, or a balanced Cabernet Sauvignon.
The glass features a substantial, high-quality weight that provides a stable and premium feel in the hand. However, as it is made from fine crystal, it remains delicate and should be handled with care to avoid chips or cracks.
