Tasting glasses

Tasting glasses are shaped to bring out the full range of aromas in wines and spirits. Crystal stemmed glasses are particularly well-suited to both fine spirits and more sophisticated non-alcoholic options, such as raspberry cordials or alcohol-free gin.

For spirits aged in barrels, a slightly narrower rim helps concentrate the aromas and preserve their intensity. This level of precision is reflected in Saint-Louis designs, where each glass is shaped either to maintain freshness or to let the warmth of the hand slowly open up more complex aroma profiles.

The classic tasting glass or brandy glass is a good example, with its broader parison and shoulder tapering to a narrower rim. It is especially suited to fortified wines and darker spirits like cognac, armagnac, whiskey, or aged rum. Other spirit glasses feature a longer stem, helping keep the drink at a cooler, cellar-like temperature.

In contrast, the tall, slender design of a vodka glass is designed to maintain purity and freshness while limiting evaporation. For a more refined table setting, the vodka flute adds a beautifully elegant touch and pairs easily with other stemmed glasses. The port glass is particularly suited to sweet and fortified wines. Its flared parison and slender stem make it easy to enjoy the aromas while keeping the drink at the right temperature. For after-dinner digestifs, the liqueur glass is designed to bring out the intensity of spirits such as brandies or fruit liqueurs, concentrating their aromas for a more flavorful experience.

These glasses can be combined to create a complete tasting set or added individually to an existing collection. They work just as well for aperitifs as they do for digestifs, appealing to both occasional drinkers and connoisseurs alike. Different sizes and decorative details help highlight the color of each spirit while enhancing the overall experience.
