Bordeaux - Set of 6 - As featured in the Wall Street Journal
130 - Schott Zwiesel CruDescription:Height 9.3 Volume 27.9 oz
The modified Bordeaux tulip shape is designed to feature mature, full-bodied red wines. Advances fruit and softens tannin. A dramatic glass balanced by just the right length of stem. The benchmark glass. Machine blown in brilliant, break-resistant lead-free crystal.
From the Wall Street Journal, October 10, 2009:
"Best of tasting. Somewhat unusual shape, something like an egg, means that everything tasted a little bit new and different to us. "This feels great, comfortable in my hand," Dottie said. It's deceptive: It's big yet it doesn't feel too big. Great balance. All wines seemed a little bit more special in this glass. Great for swirling and sniffing." - The Best Wine Glasses for $15.00 or Less by DOROTHY J. GAITER AND JOHN BRECHER
