Know before you buy
These glasses are specifically shaped to enhance dessert wines, including Sauternes, Eiswein, Tokaj, and younger ports. The bowl design is optimized to concentrate the complex aromas and sweetness characteristic of these varieties.
Yes, they are dishwasher safe. However, because they are delicate, mouth-blown pieces, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring they are placed securely to avoid contact with other items.
The shorter bowl is intentional; it concentrates the bouquet of the wine closer to the nose. This allows you to better appreciate the nuanced, intense aromatics typical of dessert wines that might otherwise dissipate in a larger glass.
Yes, these glasses contain lead. If you prefer lead-free alternatives, you may want to explore other collections, but this specific Difference Sweet model is crafted using traditional leaded glass techniques.
Each purchase includes a set of two glasses.
