Know before you buy
The 20-ounce capacity provides ample surface area for the wine to breathe, which is essential for aerating bold reds like Cabernet Sauvignon. This design helps release complex aromas while the tall chimney buffers the alcohol, ensuring the bouquet is balanced rather than sharp.
While these glasses are crafted from high-quality lead-free crystal, we recommend hand-washing them to preserve their clarity and prevent potential breakage. If you must use a dishwasher, ensure the glasses are placed securely and use a gentle, low-temperature cycle.
These glasses are specifically engineered for full-bodied red wines. They are ideal for Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Brunello, and Super Tuscans.
A pulled stem means the stem and bowl are crafted from a single piece of glass rather than being fused together. This construction creates a seamless, elegant look and generally offers better structural integrity and resistance to breakage at the joint.
Despite their generous size, these glasses are handcrafted to feel delicate and refined. The lead-free crystal construction balances durability with a lightweight, premium feel that enhances the overall tasting experience.
