Know before you buy
The Olympia Bordeaux glass features a wide, generous bowl that provides a large surface area. This allows full-bodied red wines to breathe, softening tannins and intensifying the complex aromas typical of Bordeaux varietals.
Yes, each piece is individually crafted by skilled artisans. Because they are hand-made, you may notice subtle variations in the glass, which is a hallmark of authentic craftsmanship rather than a defect.
This is a substantial glass with a 34oz (970ml) capacity. Its large size is intentional, designed to provide enough room for the wine to aerate properly while still allowing you to swirl it comfortably.
To preserve the clarity and integrity of the hand-made glass, we recommend hand-washing with mild detergent and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive cycles can damage the delicate finish over time.
While optimized for Bordeaux, this glass performs exceptionally well with other bold, tannic red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Malbec. The wide bowl is ideal for any wine that benefits from significant aeration.
