The rippled texture is a functional design element that helps aerate the wine as it is poured and swirled. By increasing the surface area, these ripples encourage the wine to open up more quickly, which is particularly beneficial for mature red wines that need to breathe.

While the lead-free crystal is durable, we recommend hand-washing these glasses to maintain their clarity and prevent potential breakage or clouding over time. If you must use a dishwasher, ensure you use a delicate cycle and a gentle detergent.

While designed with mature reds in mind, the expansive bowl and aeration features work beautifully for younger, full-bodied red wines as well. The extra oxygenation helps soften tannins and release aromas in younger wines just as effectively as it does for older ones.

These are significantly larger than a standard red wine glass, with a 27-ounce capacity and a 4.4-inch diameter. Their generous size is intentional, providing ample room for the wine to aerate and for the bouquet to concentrate within the bowl.

These glasses are crafted from high-quality, lead-free crystal that offers a balance of elegance and durability. While they are sophisticated enough for formal occasions, they are robust enough for regular use, provided they are handled with the care typically required for fine stemware.
