Know before you buy
The tall, narrow chimney and smaller bowl are engineered to concentrate delicate aromas while softening the sharp burn of high-alcohol spirits. This allows the subtle fruit and floral notes of fortified wines to become more prominent on the nose.
Because these glasses are handmade from delicate crystal, we strongly recommend hand washing them with warm water and a mild detergent to preserve their clarity and prevent breakage.
Each glass in this set has a capacity of 7 ounces, which is the ideal size for serving standard pours of sake, sherry, or vermouth.
Yes, these glasses are excellent for any fortified wine or high-alcohol beverage where you want to tame the intensity of the alcohol, such as vermouth or dessert wines.
Yes, each glass is meticulously handmade in Europe. This artisanal process results in a very thin, whisper-like feel that is significantly lighter and more elegant than mass-produced machine-made glassware.
