Spiegelau Authentis Wine Glass

The platinum glass process is a specialized manufacturing technique that removes impurities from the raw materials. This results in superior clarity and a harder surface that is significantly more resistant to scratches, clouding, and the dullness that often develops on glassware after repeated use.

While designed to withstand the rigors of high-volume dining environments, these glasses are excellent for home use. They offer a professional-grade aesthetic and durability that elevates a home dining experience without requiring the delicate handling of traditional fine crystal.

A thinner, fine-blown rim is less intrusive when you sip, allowing the wine to flow more smoothly onto the palate. This design choice minimizes the physical barrier between you and the wine, which helps you better appreciate the texture and nuances of the vintage.

Yes, the platinum glass construction is engineered to be dishwasher safe. The material is specifically formulated to resist the etching and loss of brilliance that typically occur in dishwashers, making them practical for both professional and home maintenance.

The 22 oz capacity is quite generous, making it particularly well-suited for full-bodied red wines that benefit from aeration. While you can certainly use them for lighter wines, the large bowl is primarily designed to allow complex reds to breathe and fully express their bouquet.
