Why this wine glasse earns its place
This glass makes a statement. At 240mm, the stem is tall—taller than most—and the 21oz (596ml) capacity means serious pours for serious wines. The Bordeaux bowl shape is narrower and taller than a Burgundy glass, designed specifically for wines that don't need as much aeration: Cabernets, Merlots, structured reds where the goal is containment and focus rather than opening them wide.
The height and polish of the stem create presence on a table without being fussy. For venues where the wine service itself is meant to impress—formal settings, special-occasion dining, wine collector's restaurants—this glass does the work. It's not aggressive; it's assured. The 596ml capacity gives you room for a proper pour (around 450ml) with headspace for swirling and nosing.
The Bordeaux shape does its job: a narrower opening concentrates the aromatics, and the taller bowl means the wine doesn't spread thin. For Cabernet-focused wine lists or venues serving structured, age-worthy reds, this is the glass that fits the story.
