RCR Oasis

First, consider what will most often go into them. Water, juice, and soft drinks fit in the 25 cl tumbler; if you want room for ice, the 32 cl is the better size. Drink whisky neat or over a cube from those same tumblers. The 36 cl highball is intended for gin and tonic and anything with lots of ice. The 22 cl mug has a handle and is for coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Serve wine in the 23 or 29 cl wine glasses, and for sparkling wine there is a 16 cl flute. The wider selection can be found under the water glasses.

Fill a tumbler to about two fingers below the rim, so you can pick it up without spilling. Put the 123 cl jug on the table with ice and a slice of lemon; that saves walking back and forth during the meal. The 85 cl whiskey decanter is meant for a bottle you will finish within a few weeks, because a decanter seals less well than a bottle. The 1 litre wine carafe is for giving a young red some air before you pour.

Oasis is made of Luxion, the lead-free crystal glass of RCR. It is clearer and harder than ordinary glass, which keeps the ribbing crisp and makes the rim slower to chip. The glasses can go in the dishwasher; stand them upright and not inside one another, because stacking causes scratches and suction. Clean the narrow-necked carafes with a brush and leave them upside down to drain.
