Know before you buy
These glasses are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the golden finish and the integrity of the hand-blown crystal, we recommend hand-washing them gently with mild soap and warm water, then drying them immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Yes, the shape is specifically designed to enhance the aeration and aromatic profile of red wines. Its 8.1 oz capacity provides enough room for the wine to breathe, making it a versatile choice for most varietals.
No, the golden finish is applied to the exterior of the crystal. It is purely aesthetic and will not alter the flavor or chemical composition of your wine.
No, these glasses are crafted from traditional high-quality crystal, which contains lead. This material is chosen for its superior clarity, weight, and ability to be hand-blown into refined shapes.
While these glasses are delicate due to their hand-blown nature, they feature a chip-resistant design to improve longevity. However, they are best reserved for formal dining and special occasions rather than daily, heavy-duty use.
