Bicchieri da Cabernet

I’m really impressed with how the broad bowl lets the wine open up after a few minutes in the glass; the aroma and flavor depth are noticeably richer compared to my old glasses. The thin rim makes each sip feel elegant, and the whole shape feels perfectly balanced when holding it.

The wide bowl really does make a difference with a young cab — I poured the same bottle into my old glasses and this one and the difference in how the tannins softened was obvious. Stems are tall enough that my hand never touches the bowl, which keeps the wine from warming up.

I usually drink reds out of smaller glasses, but the broad bowl on these really lets the wine open up and breathe. My only small complaint is that they feel a bit delicate when washing.
