Know before you buy
The Apollo Wine Carafe has a capacity of 25.5 ounces, which is ideal for standard 750ml wine bottles while allowing enough surface area for proper aeration.
The carafe stands at 15 inches tall. We recommend measuring your storage space or bar cart height to ensure it fits comfortably.
Saint-Louis utilizes traditional high-quality crystal glass techniques. As with most fine crystal, it is recommended to hand wash the piece to maintain its clarity and brilliance over time.
Yes, the shape is specifically designed to expose wine to oxygen, which helps soften tannins and open up the bouquet of your vintage, while the elegant neck allows for a controlled pour.
To preserve the craftsmanship and clarity of the crystal, hand wash the carafe with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive detergents can dull the finish or cause thermal shock.
