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 had been blown to impress, and priced to interrupt.”
Selecting wine glasses is hard. You’re all the time strolling a superb line, attempting to steadiness worth, design and performance. Will this glass look good on my desk, impress my pals, enable the wine inside to shine, be dishwasher-safe, and never break simply?
Typically it appears that is unattainable 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 house customers with stemmed and unstemmed wine glasses, cocktail glasses, decanters. And I ought to level out that the “most well-liked” methodology for laundry these glasses is within the dishwasher.
All handblown, the glasses do ship a wealthy aroma and taste. They’ve moderately sized bowls for tasting in addition to ingesting, and are fairly mild, although secure, with skinny stems. Kong says he expects individuals will begin with a number of glasses from both Glasvin or Glasvin Dwelling, and step by step increase 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 yr on wine” – which is tough 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 Dwelling All-Goal, $50 for Stemless and $79 for The Common.
