Know before you buy
No, these glasses must be hand washed. Fine crystal is delicate, and hand washing is the best way to maintain its clarity and prevent potential damage from high-heat cycles.
The generous bowl size is specifically designed to allow brandy or cognac to breathe. This increased surface area helps release the complex aromas and flavors of the spirit, which are then concentrated toward the rim for a better sensory experience.
Yes, while designed for brandy and cognac, the wide bowl and tapered rim make them excellent for other aromatic spirits like aged rum, whiskey, or even certain dessert wines that benefit from aeration.
Each glass stands 6 inches tall and has a diameter of 4.5 inches. Their size is substantial, so ensure you have enough clearance in your display cabinet or bar cart.
Yes, each purchase includes a set of two brandy balloon glasses, making them a perfect gift or a starter set for a home bar.
