Vintner Bordeaux

The broad bowl and ample swirlspace make this glass ideal for tasting robust reds like cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah. Designed with the help of a few of our favorite Napa Valley winemakers and sommeliers, this collection appeals to experienced wine tasters and lovers of handblown glass alike. The pulled-stem technique results in a thinner, more lightweight bowl designed to appeal to the palate of those who truly love wine.

The generously scaled bowl allows wine to aerate and release its aromas, with a thinness that lends a balanced hand. The re-engineered foot and seamless pulled stem are a pleasure to hold and swirl while tasting – and to admire the appearance of the wine, from its color to its legs. The visible ripple lines from the glassblowing process offers grace and authenticity you won’t find in a factory-made wine glass.

At Simon Pearce, fine glassware is still hand-blown in the traditional style. Simon Pearce opened his first glassblowing shop in 1971 in Kilkenny, Ireland. Ten years later, the factory was moved to Quechee, Vermont, where it remains today. The Ottauquechee River provides clean, hydroelectric power for the facility. All Simon Pearce items are proudly made in the U.S.A.
