Chef & Sommelier Open Up U1012 Wine Glass, 470 ml

The Chef & Sommelier Open Up U1012 stemmed wine glass holds 470 ml and comes from the French brand Chef & Sommelier (Arc International group), designed for serving wine at formal receptions, anniversary events and protocol meetings held by educational, healthcare and other institutions. The wide bowl is shaped so the drink gets more contact with air as soon as it is poured.

The bowl's shape creates a decanter-like effect, encouraging natural aeration and helping aromas develop. The rim is wide enough to pick up the aroma when the glass is raised, yet narrows toward the top to concentrate the scent. The bowl is made from Cristallin, a crystal-like, lead-free material from the Arc group known for its high transparency without colour distortion and the characteristic ringing sound typical of crystal. The glass is also tempered and has increased shock resistance, which helps it withstand chipping during intensive daily use and dishwasher cleaning.
