Gabriel-Glas "StandArt Universal" Wine Glass (2-Pack Gift Box)
SKU #1664063
A stunning all-around, "universal" wine glass that is the perfect blend of form, function and durability. The iconic Gabriel-Glas silhouette–that slightly conical, gently curved bowl–was inspired by the form of an unfurling rose. The shape, size, and proportions of the bowl act as an extension of the nose itself, bringing the olfactory senses in close contact to the wine. The size of the aperture, the distance to the widest part of the glass, and the concave sides, were all researched and developed to create a synergy that yields unbelievable wine enjoyment.
This stemware is made from carefully sourced, low-iron sand that is blended with a proprietary mix of metals and purifiers that add clarity and brilliance while also strengthening the material. The rim of the glass is laser-cut and diamond polished to be both incredibly thin and chip resistant. A single piece of molten crystal is blown into the signature shape of the bowl, the stem is pulled, and the footplate is formed all without any joints, seams, or glues.
Glasses are dishwasher safe, and EU-tested for guaranteed brilliance and clarity after 1,000 washing cycles.
Gabriel-Glas, an Austrian brand, was created in 2010 by René Gabriel, aka "The Pope of Wine," a Swiss wine critic and author of Weinbibel, a seminal work on the world of fine wine.
