Effortless Form
-
Durable
The elevated glass adds presence and elegance, yet it's not overly tall. It is steady on any flat surface and can easily fit in all dishwashers.
-
Ultra-Light
The lightness of the crystal provides an extremely comfortable and effortless drinking experience. Titanium strengthening ensures durability.
-
Crystal Clear
The crystal glass meets the highest of European production standards. It's free of color tinting or distortion, and reflects light cleanly and gracefully.
Impeccable Function
-
Volume
The wide maximum diameter enables up to a 2oz or 50ml pour to rest in the widest part of the bowl. There's plenty of space inside the glass to hold those great aromas.
-
Focus
A dramatic linear taper concentrates all the aromas up to a short neck
where they can closely intermingle before releasing into open air. -
Release
The flared lip allows your nose to enjoy concentrated aromas yet provides enough distance from the spirit so you are not overwhelmed. The glass delivers mid-palate and with fair volume.
The Ideal Balance
Bennuaine offers excellent balance between high aeration and significant focus.
The wide maximum diameter enables more oxygen to interact with the spirit, encouraging greater release of the compounds that produce all those wonderful scents. A linear taper then concentrates those aromas up to a short neck where they can closely intermingle before releasing into open air. The flared lip cups your nose to lock in the detailed aromas, while providing some distance so you are not overwhelmed. It's all a delicate balance.
Benefits of a Stem
Many think that choosing between stemmed and stemless glassware is simply a personal preference.
Discerning enthusiasts typically prefer stemware as it eliminates fingerprints from clouding the bowl and hiding the spirit inside, as well as reducing any distracting aromas on your hand from lotion, soap, or food that may affect your nosing experience.
Durability is not a serious factor with our design because the stem is relatively compact and fortified with titanium - the highest strength-to-weight metal.
