Chef & Sommelier Sensation

The 20 cl glass is intended for dessert wine, sherry, and anything you pour in small quantities. The 25 cl is the tasting size: small enough to place several next to one another, yet large enough to swirl. The 31 cl is the everyday size for white wine and keeps it cooler than a larger glass would. The 41 cl is the all-rounder for red and full-bodied white wine. The 19 cl flute completes the series. For larger glasses, see the wine glasses; for tasting, see the tasting glasses.

A smaller glass is not a more economical glass; it is a different tool. Serve sweet wine and sherry chilled and in small portions, because otherwise they warm up in the glass before you finish. Fill the 20 cl glass to about half full and the larger bowls to one-third. The 19 cl flute keeps the carbonation tight and works both for pure bubbles and for a mimosa or a bellini at breakfast.

Sensation is made of Krysta, the factory's lead-free crystal glass, with a drawn stem and no seam. That makes the range suitable for daily dishwasher cycles. A limescale film shows up sooner on thin bowls than on thick catering glass; a dash of vinegar in the rinse water helps against that. Polish afterwards with a lint-free cloth and store the glasses upright rather than on the rim.

If you want to buy a single set that immediately covers the whole table, take a look at the coordinated glassware set page. If you’re looking for the other ranges from the same house, from angular glasses to classic goblets, you’ll find them at Chef & Sommelier. And if you regularly have a bottle left over after a tasting evening, wine stoppers are the simplest solution for keeping it drinkable. wijnstoppers de eenvoudigste oplossing om hem drinkbaar te houden.
