760 ml Crystal Wine Glass, Thin-Walled and Rounded, Also Available in 390, 440, and 530 ml, Clear Crystal Glass for Wine and Champagne | Sansoti

760 milliliters: room for the wine to breathe

A large glass isn’t about pouring more wine, but about leaving more air above it. In a spacious, rounded bowl with a capacity of 760 ml, you can swirl a generous pour without spilling a drop, allowing the aroma to open up instead of staying trapped in the glass. That’s why red wine smells different in a large glass than in a small one. This glass is made of thin-walled crystal glass, with a rounded shape and a clear finish. The same collection is also available in 390, 440 and 530 ml, and is suitable for both wine and champagne.

The sizes and the material

• 760 ml: the largest size in the collection, with room above the wine to swirl and smell it.
• Also available in 530, 440 and 390 ml: four capacities to choose from, depending on the type of wine or the occasion.
• Thin-walled crystal glass: a thin rim feels different on the lips than thick glass, putting less between you and the wine.
• Rounded shape: the rounded bowl increases the wine’s surface area, helping its aromas develop.
• Clear crystal: no green or gray tint, so you can see the wine’s true color.
• Suitable for wine and champagne: one collection for both, instead of two sets of glasses.

Which size for which wine

The rule of thumb is that full-bodied red wines benefit most from a large glass because they need air: 760 or 530 ml is ideal for them. Crisp white wines and champagne retain their chill and bubbles better in a smaller glass, so choose 390 or 440 ml. When using a 760 ml glass, don’t pour more than about a third full; that may feel counterintuitive with such a large bowl, but the empty space is exactly why you bought it. Hand-wash thin-walled crystal in lukewarm water and dry it with a linen cloth afterward—a dishwasher on a high-temperature setting can dull the rim over time, and thin rims are more likely to break.
