Know before you buy
This set is curated to cover a broad spectrum of wines, featuring specialized glasses for Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay.
The flat, wide base of the bowl increases the surface area of the wine, which allows for greater oxygen exposure. This design is engineered to intensify the aromatics and highlight the specific flavor profiles of each varietal.
While these glasses are elegant enough for special occasions, they are crafted from high-quality, machine-made crystal designed for durability. They are also dishwasher safe, making them practical for more frequent use.
No, these glasses are dishwasher safe. For the best results and to maintain the clarity of the crystal, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are spaced properly in the rack to prevent contact with other items.
Standard glasses rely on a traditional bowl shape, whereas the Winewings collection uses a distinct, angular silhouette inspired by aircraft wings. This shape is specifically calibrated to maximize the wine's bouquet and flavor delivery in a way that traditional shapes cannot.
