Know before you buy
Yes, the Tour carafe is designed to be dishwasher safe. Its Tritan construction is engineered to withstand the rigors of machine washing without losing its clarity or brilliance.
Tritan glass is a lead-free, titanium-based formula that offers the same aesthetic brilliance as crystal but with significantly higher durability. It is specifically resistant to chips, scratches, and breakage, making it a more practical choice for frequent use.
The carafe has an 88-ounce capacity, which is more than enough to comfortably aerate a standard 750ml bottle of wine. Its generous size provides ample surface area for the wine to breathe effectively.
The angular shape is designed to maximize the surface area of the wine, which accelerates the aeration process. This allows the wine to open up more quickly, enhancing its flavor profile before you serve it.
While the carafe features the refined, elegant look of hand-blown crystal, the Tritan material is robust and balanced. It feels substantial in the hand, providing a secure grip while pouring.
