Story

Match your wine with the right glass

Did you know that there is a whole science behind why wine glasses look the way they do? Fortunately, you don’t need to dive into the science to match your favourite wine with the right glass. We developed the STORSINT glass series so you have optimal glasses for different wines. But first we needed to thoroughly understand what happens to a wine when it’s poured into a glass with a certain shape – so we took on the help of some experienced sommeliers along the way. Product developer Malin Ljungström shares some facts: “For example, a younger wine should be served in a smaller bowl with a slightly narrower opening. This is so the wine is not affected too much by the oxygen in the air", explains Malin."On the other hand, an older and fuller wine needs a large, round bowl and a relatively wide opening to enhance all the aromas and flavours from the wine being more in contact with oxygen."

New insights about wine

For Malin, the collaboration with the sommeliers meant that some of her conceptions about wine changed. For example, that champagne or other sparkling wine should always be enjoyed from tall flute glasses with plenty of room for the bubbles. “It’s true about younger wines, but we learned that an older champagne is more aromatic, and can therefore be served in a wine glass with a larger bowl to develop its full potential”, says Malin and adds: "In the world of wine, there’s always something to learn."

Material

Here's to crystalline

Join us in raising a glass to STORSINT—a collection made of crystalline. Traditional crystal is made with lead, a metal we're committed to leave out of all our products for health and sustainability reasons. Crystalline is a lead-free alternative that offers strength, brilliance, and a sweet, resonating tone whenever clinked.

Designer Thoughts

"When I designed STORSINT, I wanted to make glassware that enhances the enjoyment of drinks. I made the stems thin and smooth so that they´re comfortable to hold, and the bowl generous so that aromas and and flavours develop in the best way. I was partially inspired by the fantastic glassware at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. With STORSINT, I wanted to create glassware which suits all occasions, which is beautifully designed – and can be used year after year."
