Know before you buy
The large 720 ml bowl is designed to provide ample surface area for bold, tannic red wines to breathe. This aeration process softens the tannins and allows the complex bouquet of a Bordeaux to fully develop before you take a sip.
Yes, Sophienwald designed these glasses to be dishwasher-safe. However, to maintain the clarity and integrity of the delicate, mouth-blown glass over time, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are spaced properly to prevent breakage.
Mouth-blown glass is typically thinner and more refined than machine-made alternatives. This results in a lighter weight and a thinner rim, which provides a more seamless transition from the glass to your palate, enhancing the overall tasting experience.
The glass stands at 265 mm tall. We recommend measuring your cabinet shelves before purchasing to ensure you have enough clearance for these elegant, tall-stemmed glasses.
Yes, this glass is not lead-free. The inclusion of lead in the glass composition is what allows for the exceptional clarity and thinness characteristic of high-end, mouth-blown stemware.
