stem ware
Crystal
- stemware can be blown thinner than simple glass,
- this relates also to the shape of the glass, more specifically the rim.
- The rim directs the wine over the tongue.
- Ingo Grady The size and shape of the glass and how it delivers wine to the different taste zones on your tongue is key.
- Thinblown crystal stems, however, add a dimension of sensuality to the sensory elements of wine tasting.
- Like a flute of champagne, such a glass can turn a sip into a celebration!
- The shape and the clarity are key along with the thickness of the glass. Thinner is better.
