Know before you buy
The glass features a wide, generous bowl designed to provide ample surface area for oxygenation. This allows complex, mature wines to breathe and fully express their nuanced aromas and flavors that might otherwise remain muted.
Yes, it is designed for both. While it excels with bold reds like Barolo or Bordeaux, the shape is also ideal for complex, aged white wines that benefit from the increased aeration provided by the 22 oz capacity.
Yes, the Difference Mature glass is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the clarity and brilliance of the hand-blown glass over time, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are spaced properly in the rack.
At 22 ounces, this is a large-capacity glass. Its height of 8.625 inches and width of 4.75 inches provide a substantial presence, specifically engineered to accommodate the aeration needs of older, more delicate vintages.
Mouth-blowing creates a unique, high-quality finish that machine-made glasses often lack. This artisanal process results in a refined, thin rim and a balanced weight that enhances the overall tactile experience of drinking fine wine.
