OREA SENSORY WINE GLASS
There's something special about glass. We would know since we were some of the first folks to make sensory-focused coffee glasses. But before making those, we loved to use wine glasses and we often return due to their versatility and beauty. We are lovers of natural wines and the inherent acidity and fresh aromatics that come with them - reminding us a lot of some of the best modern processed coffees. Wine and coffee processing have more and more in common as time passes and we wanted to create a special glass to celebrate both. What started as a project to make the perfect glass for natural orange wines became our favourite glass for wines and coffees.
THE SCIENCE
Using this shape we create a perfect environment for the ultimate sensory experience, as when you drink, the punt will force all aroma to completely surround the nose, pushing and narrowing the space in the glass. The wide shape is an illusion for what is in fact a much narrower glass - highlighting delicate aromatics in natural wines and in special coffees. Furthermore, the increased surface area of the bottom will keep cool drinks cooler for longer and will help cool down coffees quicker, bringing them to the perfect drinking temperature quickly for the perfect sip.
HANDMADE
These glasses are lovingly handmade from lab-grade borosilicate glass in our long-term partner factory in Indonesia. As they are hand-formed (not moulded), you can expect some marks and lines from the process. Each glass will have a tiny bit of variation, but we really love that about them.
The PUNT
Our wine glass features a massive dimple (punt) in the middle, creating a huge negative space to help us achieve a narrow and shallow interior but maintain a wide and comfortable exterior. The punt also serves as a visual queue of where you should fill your glass to, keeping the right volume in the glass for the perfect sensory experience. The punt also acts as an aerator, as we decant, with force, directly onto it. This will further oxygenate the beverage to make it more vibrant.
Max volume is 200 mL, we recommend drinking smaller amount at a time to maximize enjoyment.
