Description of Metrokane Rabbit 4-Piece Wine Glass Sampler Set
Hand-blown crystal wine glasses with exclusive advantages that other wine glasses can't match. Glasses are blown in Turkey of lead-free Crystalline quartz. Etched with the Rabbit symbol of quality assurance, the Glass is colorless with exceptional clarity and brightness. ¿A tasting lip on every glass...This graceful outward curve to the rim of the glass is functional.It enhances the appreciation of wine and champagne by directing it to the front palate. Super-size red wine glasses (33 and 34 oz.)¿This is the extravagant size favored by wine connoisseurs, because their high surface evaporation rate fully releases a red wine's bouquet.Bowls of Bordeaux and Burgundy glasses are shaped to emphasize the merits of those wines.The shape of a glass can influence the experience of a wine, so anyone wishing to build up a wine glass collection or experiment with new glass styles would do well to try this sampler set. Each of the four glasses in this set is sized and curved specifically for a particular type of wine. Because red wines need a wide surface area to fully release their bouquet, two of the glasses feature a significant girth: a 33-ounce glass for Bordeaux, Cabernet, and Merlot (10-3/4 by 4 inches), and a 34-ounce glass for Burgundy and Pinot Noir (10 by 4-1/2 inches). Also included are two 12-ounce glasses: one for champagne and other sparkling wines (9-3/4 by 2-3/4 inches), and one for Chablis, Chardonnay, and other whites (8-1/2 by 3 inches). Each style curves outward at the top into Metrokane's signature tasting lip, designed to direct the wine to the front palate, thereby enhancing the total sensory experience.
Metrokane, maker of the renowned Rabbit corkscrew, etches the base of each glass with with a tiny Rabbit icon as a symbol of quality. Hand-blown of remarkably clear lead-free crystal, the glasses are dishwasher-safe, yet the stunning size of the two larger glasses may preclude them from fitting in most dishwashers. --Ann Bieri
