Product Info
These wine glasses are perfect for young, full-bodied (more than 12 percent alcohol), complex red wines that are high in tannins. The glass smoothes out the rough edges, emphasising the fruit, allowing wines to achieve a balance that would normally take years of ageing to acquire. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully.
- The shape directs the flow of wine onto the zone of the tongue which perceives sweetness, thus accentuating the fruit and de-emphasising the bitter qualities of the tannin
- Recommended for: Bordeaux (red), Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Tempranillo
- Vinum is made of over 24% lead crystal
- Dishwasher safe
