Description
Our Gildor wine glass is a tall, clear stemmed glass that holds a generous 490ml. That is plenty of room for a proper pour of red with space left to swirl it. The bowl has straight sides that widen from a crisp, angled base, and it sits on a long, slim stem and a flat round foot. It stands 21cm tall and measures 10.5cm across, so it has real presence on the table without crowding a place setting, and at 0.28KG it feels steady and substantial in the hand.
This is a glass for the dining table and for the evenings when a bottle is opened with friends. The broad bowl suits a full-bodied red, and the capacity leaves room for a long drink served over ice when the occasion calls for one. A long stem lets you hold the glass without cupping the bowl, which keeps the warmth of your hand away from the drink. Between meals, a row of these on an open shelf or a kitchen dresser looks tidy and bright, and clear glass sits happily beside any tableware, plain or patterned, so it works with whatever plates and linen you already own.
The Gildor is made of 100% glass. It goes in the dishwasher, which makes clearing up after a dinner party much simpler, but it is not for the microwave or the oven, so keep it for pouring and sipping rather than for warming food or drink. The clear glass lets the colour of whatever you pour show, so a deep red and a pale long drink look equally good in it. On a laid table, place it just above the tip of the knife at each setting, and keep the bottle within easy reach so the next pour is never a stretch.
