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 all the time strolling a nice line, making an attempt to stability value, design and performance. Will this glass look good on my desk, impress my associates, 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 resolve when he began Glasvin. In only a couple years, Glasvin has grown from conception to suppling eating places in addition to residence 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 moderately sized bowls for tasting in addition to consuming, and are fairly gentle, although secure, with skinny stems. Kong says he expects folks will begin with a couple of glasses from both Glasvin or Glasvin House, and steadily increase when they’re assured of their expertise with this glassware. He factors out that that is incremental spending “if you happen to spend greater than $200 a 12 months on wine” – which is difficult to not do today.
Having sampled wine in each glassware strains, proper now I’m extra snug setting the inexpensive glasses on the desk. However after a couple of profitable dishwasher experiences, I may envision the following tier…
Glasvin 2-packs beginning at $48 for Glasvin House All-Objective, $50 for Stemless and $79 for The Common.
