Why this wine glasse earns its place
The Chef & Sommelier Open Up Round is wine service distilled to its essence: generous enough to matter, compact enough to feel intentional. At 370ml, this is the glass for restaurants that understand that a smaller pour isn't a shortcut—it's a design choice.
The rounded bowl shape channels the wine's development in the same way as its Soft and Tannic siblings: acidity balances, tannins soften, hidden layers emerge. But the smaller capacity means the wine spends more time in contact with the glass surface relative to its volume, allowing faster development. Pour a 150ml measure and you have genuine space for swirling without the glass looking half-empty—it looks confident.
This glass earns its place in wine-focused restaurants where every pour is considered. It's perfect for white wines served as aperitifs, lighter reds where you want to encourage people to pay attention, and any programme where 150ml feels like the right measure. The rounded proportions feel classic without being dated, and they work with both modern and traditional dining.
