Know before you buy
The bowl shape is specifically engineered to soften high acidity and alcohol, which benefits both oak-aged white wines and older, more delicate red wines. This design helps aerate the wine while focusing the bouquet, allowing the complex, mature notes to shine.
While these glasses are crafted from durable, lead-free crystal, we recommend hand-washing them to maintain their clarity and prevent breakage. If you must use a dishwasher, ensure you use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid crowding the rack.
A pulled stem is created from the same piece of glass as the bowl, rather than being fused on separately. This construction method eliminates weak points at the connection, making the glass significantly more durable and resistant to snapping.
The tall chimney and specific bowl geometry are designed to diffuse the intensity of oak and alcohol aromas. By softening these dominant notes, the glass allows the more subtle, velvety textures and fruit profiles of the wine to become more prominent on the palate.
These glasses offer a balanced feel that is substantial enough for regular use but refined enough for formal dining. Because they are handmade from lead-free crystal, they provide the brilliant clarity of traditional crystal without the added weight of lead.
