Know before you buy
The tulip shape is designed to concentrate the delicate floral and fruit aromatics typical of high-acid white wines. The flared rim directs the wine to the tip of the tongue, which helps balance the natural acidity and sweetness of a Riesling.
Yes, these glasses are excellent for any high-acid, low-tannin white wine. They perform particularly well with Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, and Grüner Veltliner.
While these glasses are made from high-quality lead-free crystal, we recommend hand-washing them to maintain their brilliance and prevent potential breakage or clouding over time.
Each glass has a capacity of 8.5 ounces. This size is specifically calibrated to allow enough room for the wine to breathe while keeping the focus on the wine's aromatic profile.
Being handmade in Europe means each glass is crafted by skilled artisans rather than mass-produced by machines. This process often results in a more refined rim and a lighter, more balanced feel in the hand compared to standard machine-made stemware.
