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."
Complete glassware designed to improve your drink’s taste, like how the bowl’s shape allows aromas and flavours to develop. Crystalline with a shining lustre and a nice reverberation when toasting.

Product details
A crystalline Bordeaux glass designed to enhance the bold flavours of full-bodied, heavier red wines.
The tall bowl directs the wine to the back of the mouth which softens tannins and harshness, ideal for robust wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
This glass looks like it’s made with traditional crystal, but it’s made with crystalline ― a strong alternative with a clear brilliance and a fine tone when you clink your glasses.
Manufactured in a way similar to handmade glasses, which means that the stem of the glass is smooth and has no seam.
Dishwasher-safe makes life easier.
In the STORSINT series there is glassware for all types of drinks, so you can easily match glasses when setting the table.

Too cumbersome for the dishwasher.Anonymous reviewerLovely glasses. Bought as replacements for our everyday glasses. Wish I’d paid more attention to size as they are HUGE so take up a lot more space. Totally my fault as website does state 68cl which is 680ml - a bottle of wine is 75cl! Obviously you would never fill to brim but these are more cumbersome than I’d have liked for everyday/dishwasher size. (Not even sure they will fit in my dishwasher.)
Anonymous reviewerPerfect for everyday use!

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."
