The magic of this glass is its ability to highlight the full spectrum of aromas and flavours 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 Cuvee Prestige 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 cuvees.
VINUM is executed in lead crystal, machine blown in Bavaria, Germany.

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.
