Description

As the largest glass in the Epernay range, this piece features a wide balloon bowl engineered to balance the intense fruit and subtle oak character of high-end, aged reds. The shape allows full oxygenation while directing wine to the back of the mouth to soften acidity during tasting. SON.hyx material, a titanium-reinforced stem and a laser-cut rim keep the technical build consistent with the rest of the range. Capacity reaches 660ml, with branding space beneath the bowl.

Tasting Notes: This glass's wide, voluminous balloon bowl is engineered to balance the intense fruit and subtle oak characteristics found in high-end, aged red wines, giving them the space to fully oxygenate. That shape also directs the wine towards the back of the mouth, softening acidity as it's tasted. It's calibrated for bold, complex varietals needing expansive breathing space, including aged Burgundy, Pinot Noir, Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, Rioja Reserva, Gran Reserva, aged Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends.

SON.hyx Glass: Made from SON.hyx, this glass delivers exceptional brilliance together with 99.99% true-to-life wine colour transmission, ensuring the glass itself never skews how a wine looks. That level of accuracy is unusual outside dedicated tasting glassware, giving this piece a genuine technical advantage. It's a material chosen for accuracy as much as presentation.

Stem Reinforcement: This glass is built with a completely seamless, flexible pulled stem, treated with titanium reinforcement to significantly increase its permanent resistance against twisting breakage. It's a targeted upgrade at the point where premium stemware is usually most vulnerable. The result is a glass that holds up to daily handling without losing its elegant form.

Fine Rim: This glass features a laser-cut, ultra-fine reinforced rim, designed to deliver a cleaner drinking sensation than a standard edge. The reinforcement means that fine profile holds up to regular handling rather than becoming a fragility risk. It's a refinement that adds to the glass's premium feel without limiting everyday use.

Dishwasher Testing: Rated fully industrial dishwasher safe, this glass has been laboratory-tested to endure more than 4,000 wash cycles without clouding or scratch degradation. That level of durability holds up well beyond what standard glassware can typically manage under the same conditions. It's a practical guarantee for venues washing glassware as part of daily service.

Print, Decal or Etch?

Every glass item we sell can be branded three ways.

Pad print is the workhorse and the pricing on this page. Logo pad printed on, cured in a low fire oven, done. The trade-off is wash care. Low fire prints aren't dishwasher safe, so this is the pick for giveaways and gifts, not the back bar.

Decal is what you order when the glasses are going into a commercial dishwasher. The decal is kiln fired at high temperature and fuses into the glass itself, so it's guaranteed dishwasher safe. It costs more than pad print, and for venue glassware it's worth every cent. Talk to our team for decal pricing.

Laser etching is the premium finish, priced on this page alongside pad print. The logo is etched into the glass for a frosted look that can't fade or wash off because it isn't sitting on the surface at all. Dishwasher safe, permanent, and our recommendation for wine glasses and gift sets.
