A wine glass has to look elegant, really feel good within the hand, and ship an optimum fragrant and style expertise. So in fact I used to be drawn the brand new Glasvin firm with their slogan “hand-made wine glasses that have been blown to impress, and priced to interrupt.”
Selecting wine glasses is hard. You’re at all times strolling a effective line, attempting to stability worth, design and performance. Will this glass look good on my desk, impress my buddies, enable the wine inside to shine, be dishwasher-safe, and never break simply?
Generally it appears that is not possible with out overspending — after which spending each dinner mentally guarding your glassware from nicks, scratches, and wildly expressive gestures. Which is the issue that founder and CEO David Kong got down to remedy when he began Glasvin. In only a couple years, Glasvin has grown from conception to suppling eating places in addition to dwelling customers with stemmed and unstemmed wine glasses, cocktail glasses, decanters. And I ought to level out that the “most popular” methodology for laundry these glasses is within the dishwasher.
All handblown, the glasses do ship a wealthy aroma and taste. They’ve fairly sized bowls for tasting in addition to ingesting, and are fairly mild, although steady, with skinny stems. Kong says he expects folks will begin with a number of glasses from both Glasvin or Glasvin House, and progressively broaden when they’re assured of their expertise with this glassware. He factors out that that is incremental spending “in the event you spend greater than $200 a 12 months on wine” – which is difficult to not do lately.
Having sampled wine in each glassware strains, proper now I’m extra snug setting the cheaper glasses on the desk. However after a number of profitable dishwasher experiences, I might envision the subsequent tier…
Glasvin 2-packs beginning at $48 for Glasvin House All-Function, $50 for Stemless and $79 for The Common.
