Description
The glasses are designed to be used with red wines that are high in tannin, such as Bordeaux, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Rioja. The glasses help to smooth out the rough edges and accentuate the fruit, while also de-emphasizing the bitter qualities of the tannin. The glasses are made of over 24% lead crystal, which can add an extra layer of protection to your wine.
These wine glasses are perfect for young, full-bodied (more than 12 percent alcohol), complex red wines that are high in tannin. 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.
