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."
Versatile crystalline glass with a slightly larger bowl than most white wine glasses. Perfect for fuller-bodied whites and also suits lighter reds. Easy to match with the STORSINT series for a coordinated table setting.

Product details
Versatile crystalline glass with slightly larger bowl than standard white wine glasses, perfect for opening up aromas.
Great for fuller-bodied whites like Chardonnay, and versatile enough to double as a red wine glass for lighter reds.
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.

prompt serviceAnonymous reviewerperfect and speedy service
TopAnonymous reviewervery nice for the price
Like Crystal, very nice glassAnonymous reviewerAs above
Great buyAnonymous reviewerJust what was needed to replace old glasses - stylish and look good
GorgeousAnonymous 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."
