These glasses of wine feature a new design which, according to Baccarat, will prevent the alcohol from overpowering the aroma of wine when the glass is swirled. The tulip-shaped glass, with a wide flat base and a vertical “chimney,” is said to prevent the usual large-scale swirling movement, which oxidizes the wine and burns off the delicate aromas, and retains the subtlety in the vintages, the firm said.
A must try for the wine connoisseurs, these ergonomically designed wine glasses flaunt a $116 price tag and went on sale in France earlier this year. They were also launched in China and Hong Kong last month.
