Balloon Wine Glass - Mediterrani Line

INSPIRATION

The hues of this collection draw their essence from the spectacular Mediterranean coastlines. Gazing upon the Mediterranean, one is enveloped in a spectrum of blues — from the profound depths of the ocean to the ethereal azure of the sky. This series aims to encapsulate the quintessence of a sun-drenched beach day, caressed by a gentle breeze. Here, blue mirrors the dance of crystalline waters under the radiant Spanish sun, while silver echoes the soft whisper of sea foam as waves tenderly kiss the sandy shores, leaving a trail of sparkling bubbles.

USE

The Balloon wine glass is specifically crafted for robust, full-bodied red wines rich in tannins, such as Merlot, Bordeaux blends, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec. Additionally, it is perfectly suited for a variety of Gin & Tonics, including London Dry Gin, Plymouth Gin, Genever, Old Tom Gin, and New American Gin.

DESCRIPTION

This wine glass boasts a unique, capacious balloon-shaped bowl, enhancing the wine's exposure to air, thus facilitating oxidation and subtly refining its flavor. The design includes a sturdy, elongated stem, preventing the warmth of the hand from affecting the wine's temperature. Its generous 21 oz capacity allows ample space for the wine to breathe, maximizing oxygenation. In Spain, balloon glasses are favored for Gin & Tonics, as their shape effectively captures and amplifies the gin's aromas, enriches its taste, and accommodates ample ice, slowing dilution. Each glass is a testament to craftsmanship, handcrafted and mouth-blown by skilled artisans. Each piece is hand-painted, transforming our balloon wine glasses into unique art pieces. Antoni Barcelona glassware is 100% lead-free and produced through environmentally conscious methods.
