For Malin, the collaboration with the sommeliers meant that some of her conceptions about wine changed. For example, that champagne or other sparkling wine should always be enjoyed from tall flute glasses with plenty of room for the bubbles. “It’s true about younger wines, but we learned that an older champagne is more aromatic, and can therefore be served in a wine glass with a larger bowl to develop its full potential”, says Malin and adds: "In the world of wine, there’s always something to learn."
A classic crystalline champagne flute with clear brilliance and a fine tone when you clink. Perfect for all sparkling wines and easy to match with the rest of the STORSINT series for a complete table setting.

Glass FlutesAnonymous reviewerThe glass flutes we purchased were a lovely shape and they were very reasonable. We are delighted with our purchase.
Replacement flutesAnonymous reviewerNice shape and a substantial base compared to the replacements but can't fit cupboard without reorganisation of shelf they will fit on.
Very fine glass ware.Anonymous reviewerAn element feel, great if your standing around drinking bubbles, but the stem is a tad too long for sitting and sipping.

Storsint GlassesAnonymous reviewerLove these glass, good quality, and looks good
I would recommend, they're a good buy
Great lookingAnonymous reviewerLove this range of glasses, and I ordered a variety of different shapes and sizes online, for home delivery
I can barely believe it but, despite packaging not being up to much (each set came in it own box, all placed into a brown outer box with barely any padding…just a bit of brown paper!!), out of a total 48 glasses, there was not one crack or chip. A good illustration of the strength of these glasses
They look like a fine crystal and are a perfect gift for my daughter who will soon be moving, with her fiancé, into their first home
The price is outstanding and this range offers many styles..something lacking in other ranges
Very happy with my choice

Story
Match your wine with the right glass
Did you know that there is a whole science behind why wine glasses look the way they do? Fortunately, you don’t need to dive into the science to match your favourite wine with the right glass. We developed the STORSINT glass series so you have optimal glasses for different wines. But first we needed to thoroughly understand what happens to a wine when it’s poured into a glass with a certain shape – so we took on the help of some experienced sommeliers along the way. Product developer Malin Ljungström shares some facts: “For example, a younger wine should be served in a smaller bowl with a slightly narrower opening. This is so the wine is not affected too much by the oxygen in the air", explains Malin."On the other hand, an older and fuller wine needs a large, round bowl and a relatively wide opening to enhance all the aromas and flavours from the wine being more in contact with oxygen."
How a wine is enjoyed when drinking from a wine glass is also about the balance between the bowl, shaft and foot. “A good wine glass should be nice to hold and beautiful to look at”, says Malin.

"When I designed STORSINT, I wanted to make glassware that enhances the enjoyment of drinks. I made the stems thin and smooth so that they're comfortable to hold, and the bowl generous so that aromas and and flavours develop in the best way. I was partially inspired by the fantastic glassware at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. With STORSINT, I wanted to create glassware which suits all occasions, which is beautifully designed – and can be used year after year."
