winemaker's notes:
Vinum was the first machine-made series of glasses in history based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varietals. Vinum has had a permanent impact on the globe’s wine culture. These glasses have proved that the pleasures of consuming wine start with the glass.
The magic of this glass is its ability to highlight the full spectrum of aromas and flavors offered by fine champagnes and sparkling wines while preserving their elegant effervescence. Bubbles pose a challenge. How do you keep the sparkle in sparkling wine? The solution lies at the bottom of each Vinum Prestige Cuvée Flute. Etched into each is a small dot, the purpose of which is to provide a slightly abraded surface that serves to generate a continuous stream of bubbles and prevent the champagne from going flat in the glass. Designed to highlight the bouquet of champagne, this light and well-balanced glass accentuates the complexity and richness of vintage champagnes and prestige cuvées.
Recommended for: Prestige Cuvée, Rosé Champagne, Vintage Champagne, Vintage sparkling wine.
Each glass stands 8 5/8" high and holds 8 1/8 oz. Boxed set of 2.
