MATCH PEWTER Crystal Balloon Wine Glass

The wide, balloon-shaped bowl increases the surface area of the wine, which allows it to breathe more effectively. This aeration process softens tannins and helps release the complex aromas of full-bodied reds, making the wine taste smoother and more expressive.

Not at all. The pewter base is durable and designed for regular use. Simply hand wash the glass with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to maintain the metal's luster.

While their design is sophisticated enough for formal gatherings, they are built to be functional. The lead-free crystal and sturdy pewter stem are crafted for durability, so you can enjoy them for elevated everyday dining as well.

We strongly recommend hand washing these glasses. The combination of delicate hand-blown crystal and the artisanal pewter stem requires gentle care to prevent potential damage or tarnishing that can occur in a high-heat dishwasher cycle.

This glass is ideal for aromatic, full-bodied wines like Pinot Noir, Burgundy, or even Sangria. The generous bowl size is specifically designed to capture and concentrate the bouquet of these complex beverages.
