This is the tulip-shaped stemware sought exclusively by top vintners for tasting prospective wines. Once displayed in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the glass has a curved, diamond-cut notch in the rim that allows one to more effectively inhale a wine’s full bouquet, this cleverly designed glass concentrates the aromas of wine and guides them to the nose—which discerns 10,000 flavors versus the tongue’s four—allowing the sense of smell to more easily detect the scents of fruits, flowers, and spices that compose the true flavor. With a 16-ounce capacity below the notch, this glass still provides ample room to swirl and aerate wine. 9 1/2" H x 3 1/2" Diam. (1 lb.)
The inclusion of lead oxide in glass is a technique used for over 400 years for crafting only the finest, highest-quality lead crystal glassware. Surpassing worldwide legal standards for lead leaching, the lead oxide in this glass is fully integrated into the crystal’s molecular structure to provide superior color, brilliance, and sonic quality. Each glass is fire polished, resulting in a microscopic surface roughness that "grips" wine with a larger surface area, thus helping your preferred varietal develop more intense aromas when swirling—the precise reason for which this glass is sought by top vintners.
The crystal in this product contains lead, a chemical substance known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
