Simon Pearce Vitner Wine Glass

While handblown glass is inherently more delicate than machine-made alternatives, the Vitner glass is crafted with a balanced, seamless construction that feels substantial in the hand. Like all fine stemware, it requires careful handling and hand washing to maintain its integrity over time.

A pulled stem is created by pulling the glass from the bowl itself rather than attaching a separate piece. This results in a seamless, elegant profile that is generally stronger and more comfortable to hold than glasses with fused stems.

The subtle ripple lines are a hallmark of the traditional glassblowing process and are purely aesthetic. They do not create crevices or textures that would make the glass more difficult to clean than a standard smooth surface.

The generously scaled bowl is specifically engineered to provide ample surface area for aeration, which is ideal for bold, complex red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah. While it works well for most reds, it may be oversized for lighter, delicate varieties like Pinot Noir.

Because of the delicate, handblown nature of the glass, we strongly recommend hand washing only. Dishwashers can cause thermal shock or physical damage to fine, thin-walled stemware.
