Why this wine glasse earns its place
These are wine glasses that make an impression. The Open 'Up range sits at the premium end of the glassware spectrum, and it shows in the detail. The glasses are crafted from Krysta, a high-performance, lead-free crystal that delivers the transparency and sparkle you associate with fine dining. Flame polishing adds a luminous finish, and the laser-cut and polished lip—the edge you touch—feels refined rather than rough.
The bowl design is engineered with intention. The angle is deliberate: it softens acidity and smooths tannins, which means even younger wines come across as more approachable and expressive. The geometry also helps highlight the wine's flavour and aroma by creating an optimal relationship between the wine surface and the rim. For a venue serious about wine service, this design works.
The wide base is more than visual balance. It's a stability feature that matters in real service. Fewer glasses end up on the floor, fewer accidents, fewer moment-of-panic situations when a customer gets an elbow near the table. The 400ml capacity is generous—a full wine pour with breathing room—and the combination of form and function creates an impression of quality that justifies wine-list pricing.
