Crystal Glasses

A crystal wine glass offers a clear, brilliant finish, giving it an elegant and refined look. The clarity of the crystal enhances the appearance of the wine, adding a touch of sophistication to any occasion.

Stemless Glasses

Stemless glasses offer a practical and modern alternative to a traditional wine glass. Stemless wine glasses are compact and easy to handle, making them ideal for everyday use. Their simple design also makes serving more flexible and convenient.

Red Wine Glasses

Red wine glasses have been designed with an extra wide bowl to heighten the overall experience of drinking red wine. The broad shape of the bowl permits more wine to come in contact with the air, important for aeration. As the wine aerates, it is said to “open up,” allowing all of its aromatic expression and taste to emerge. This is particularly true of full-bodied reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz or Merlot which have differing layers which come to the fore with aeration.

Again, the bowl shape allows for swirling (aerating) and more character to be released. So beyond just stopping spillages, this wide surface area dedicates that extra bit of time to the wine's deeper notes, and it seems that it also serves to soften stronger tannins.

The glass immediately flares out at the rim. This gentle outward bend funnels the aromas upwards towards your nose, intensifying the smell and giving you a chance to appreciate the fragrance of the wine fully before tasting. Add a greater level of depth to the tasting experience as the aroma enhances the taste, which in turn will ensure every drink is more satisfying.

White Wine Glasses

White wines are served in smaller wine glasses than reds. The reduced size of the glass is to ensure it keeps a chilled state over time and that the wine will maintain its delicate, zesty profile. The design of the shape is made to ensure that the delicate bouquets that matter most to white wine enthusiasts linger for more time.

The tapering effect this shape causes brings the aromas to the top of the glass. The latter channels the delicate scents of the wine to your nose, allowing you to absorb all that a wine embodies. The small size also means less surface area is exposed to air, keeping the wine from warming too quickly. That means keeping the crispness enjoyed from white wines such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling.
