Know before you buy
Yes, the Glasvin Universal is specifically engineered to handle the nuances of various wine styles. Its shape is designed to provide enough aeration for bold reds while maintaining the focus needed for crisp whites.
While the glass is exceptionally thin and delicate to the touch, it is crafted from high-quality handblown glass. It is designed for regular use, though it should be handled with the same care you would give any fine stemware.
Yes, the Glasvin Universal is dishwasher safe. We recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are spaced properly in the rack to prevent them from knocking against other items.
This glass is designed specifically for wine enjoyment and is not intended for use with ice cubes. The thin, handblown walls are not built to withstand the impact of ice, which could cause the glass to crack.
Because each piece is handblown by artisans, there may be slight variations in the glass. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the craftsmanship and do not affect the performance of the stemware.
