Know before you buy
Yes. The Definition Universal glass is specifically engineered with a versatile bowl shape that helps aerate red wines while maintaining the crispness of whites, making it a true all-purpose choice.
These glasses are dishwasher safe. They are crafted using a Platinum Glass process that ensures high resistance to scratching and fogging, even after repeated cycles.
While they are remarkably thin and lightweight for an elegant feel, they are machine-blown for consistent structural integrity. They are durable enough for regular use, though they should still be handled with the care expected of fine crystal.
An extra-fine rim minimizes the physical barrier between you and the wine. This allows for a smoother flow onto the palate, which helps you better perceive the wine's texture and nuances.
No, these glasses are made from high-quality, lead-free crystal. They offer the clarity and brilliance of traditional crystal without the use of lead.
The glasses stand at 237mm (approximately 9.33 inches) tall. We recommend measuring your cabinet shelf height to ensure they fit comfortably upright.
