Wine Glasses

Wine Glasses accentuate the wine-experience.

Romans were the first to use wine glasses instead of drinking vessels that were used before. In the 15^th and 16^th century Italian an German designers created the first wine glasses with a stem and foot, as we know them now. By the end of the 18^th century France also became a leading producer.

Wine glasses accentuate not only the taste and smell of the wine, but also enhance the visual aspect of what’s contained in it, whether it is a “vin de pays”, a “vin de table” or an expensive “grand cru”. They make the play of light and aroma completer.

Champagne needs specific wine glasses . It requires he long-stemmed “flutes” or tulip shaped glasses. These are especially designed to enhance the flow of bubbles to the crown. They also concentrate the aromas of the Champagne. The long stem of the champagne glass prevents the warmth of the hand going up.
