The handy machine-made Viognier and Chardonnay glass of the space-saving glass collection O Wine Tumbler attracts attention through its stemless design. This makes it less susceptible to glass breakage and easy to put into the dishwasher. The classic Riedel shape allows young wines to express all their invigorating freshness, while more mature wines are encouraged to deliver the nutty, spicy, mineral flavours. This glass is designed to deliver acidity across the palate in a way that offsets the alcohol and rich flavours of the wine while highlighting its velvety, supple texture, emphasising the fruit and ensuring a long, balanced finish.
Ideal for these grapes:
Unoaked Chardonnay, Aligoté, Viognier, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris/Grigio, Grenache/Garnacha Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne, Marsanne, Sémillon, Ribolla Gialla, Verdicchio, Trebbiano, Falanghina, Cortese, Fiano, Greco di Tufo, Albariño, Macabeo, Verdejo, Verdelho, Neuburger

And white wines from these regions:

Why Shape Matters
- Stemware consists of three parts: the bowl, stem and base.
- The height of the stem and the width of the base are part of the glass design (known as the architecture).
- Grape varietal specific stemware features finely-tuned glass bowls consisting of three variables: shape, size and rim diameter.
- Grape varietal specific stemware has to translate the "message" of wine to the human senses.
There are 4 Sensations in Wine
- Bouquet: Grape varietal specific stemware is responsible for delivering the quality and intensity of the wine’s aroma.
- Texture: Grape varietal specific stemware highlights the exciting and diverse styles of "mouthfeel" in wine (watery, creamy, silky, velvety).
- Taste: Grape varietal specific stemware creates a balanced interaction between the fruit, minerality, acidity and bitter components of a wine.
- Flavor: Grape varietal specific stemware offers a pleasant, seamless, harmonious, and long lasting aftertaste.
