Orrefors Difference Wine Glasses

The wide bowl is specifically designed to maximize the surface area of the wine, which encourages aeration. This allows mature wines to breathe more effectively, helping to open up complex aromas and flavors that might otherwise remain muted.

No, these crystal glasses are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the clarity and integrity of the crystal, we recommend hand washing them gently with warm water and a mild detergent, then drying them immediately with a lint-free cloth.

While the name suggests 'mature' wines, these glasses are excellent for any full-bodied red wine that benefits from aeration. They are particularly well-suited for aged Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, or other complex vintages where you want to fully experience the bouquet.

With a 22-ounce capacity, these are significantly larger than a standard wine glass. The generous size is intentional, providing ample room to swirl the wine without spilling, which is essential for releasing the aromatics in older, more delicate vintages.

At 8.5 inches tall, these glasses should fit in most standard kitchen cabinets. However, because of the wide 4.25-inch rim diameter, you should measure your shelf depth to ensure they have enough clearance to sit comfortably without hitting the cabinet door.
