Classic glass shape for wines with a more acidic character.  Because their primary aroma is usually well formed, at an early stage, these wines do not need to be “aerated”.  As such, the diameter of the goblet is narrow.  The extended rim allows the tongue to experience the full freshness and effervescence of the wine.

Ideal for mature, dry or mild and fruity Riesling wines or full-bodied, spicy Sauvignon Blanc, or full flavor, gray Burgundies.

Tall Champagne glass designed for elegant sparkling wines characterized by their multifaceted texture and ripened brilliance.  The slightly corpulent bowl helps unfold and accumulate the wine aromas while the tapered shape of the glass transports them in concentrated form to the nose.  This glass also provides plenty of surface shape for the effervscent pearling effect or “perlage”.

Ideal for vintage Champagnes and prestigious Cuvees as well as elegant sparkling wines.

An elegant glass for vintage red wines that need ample air to unfold their aroma.  The wide bowl shape increases that contact surface of the wine to the oxygen in the air so that the flavor is fully expressed and the bouquet unfolds more immediately.  This glass shape is perfect for the fruity, low tanin wines.

Ideal fr a full-bodied Pinot Noir.
