No shallow coupe that spills before it reaches the table. No thick rolled rim in front of the wine. Pour it, hold it by the stem, and give it a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe reason champagne in a flute smells of almost nothing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA flute is about a finger wide at the top. Room enough for the bubbles, and none for anything else, so the aroma leaves the surface and goes past you into the room. You get the fizz. You rarely get the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis bowl opens to 3.3 inches across, a couple of inches down from the rim, and that is where the wine lies. Above the widest point the wall turns back in, so what comes off the surface gathers under your nose instead of drifting off the table. The bead still runs. It runs up a wider column now, and the rest of the drink comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe wall is half a millimeter thick, and you notice on the first sip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim is a plain cut edge, not a rolled lip, so there is no bead of glass to meet before the wine does. Thick glassware puts a hard round bumper between your mouth and the drink, and you get used to that without ever deciding to. Drink from this once and the bumper is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy not the cheap one\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRun a thumb up the stem of a cheap champagne glass and you will usually find a seam, because the bowl and the stem were made separately and stuck together. This stem is drawn out of the bottom of the bowl in one piece, so there is nothing to feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe other two corners are the rim and the foot. A cheap rim is rolled and thickened so it survives the box. A cheap foot is made heavy, because weight costs less than balance. This one has a plain cut rim and a thin flat foot, and it stands steady anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaller than the shelf you have in mind\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt stands 9.4 inches from the table to the rim, which is tall for a champagne glass. Measure the shelf before it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a wall this thin, hand washing is the safe answer. Hold it by the foot, not the bowl, and it will outlast every heavy glass in the cupboard. Then set it down in front of somebody and watch them slow down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWall thickness: 0.5 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 9.4 x 3.3 in (24 x 8.5 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapacity: 390 ml (13 fl oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBowl: Wide tulip, widest below the rim and narrowing again to the top\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStem: Drawn in one piece with the bowl, no join\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoot: Thin flat disc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Clear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare: Hand wash recommended\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1x Champagne Glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Ridgewell Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197100257576,"sku":null,"price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9430\/5064\/files\/01-daylight-lunch-table.png?v=1786025969","url":"https:\/\/ridgewellliving.com\/products\/ultra-thin-champagne-glass-with-a-wide-tulip-bowl-on-a-long-fine-stem","provider":"Ridgewell Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
