Les Impitoyables Glass No.4
Champagne/Sparkling Wines

Champagne, which one tends to forget is also a wine, must be aired. A steady stream of bubbles encourages the airing process, while the length of time the Champagne frothes indicates the maturity of the wine. The bowl of glass # 4 of LES IMPITOYABLES is conical at the base, encouraging streams of bubbles to form and allowing them to escape easily. The inner surfaces of the glass are provided with a ''barley grain'' pattern (this detail was invented in the 18th. century) which catches the froth and indicates the maturity of the wine. The fine stem is not too long, allowing the Champagne to be aired without risk of breaking the glass. The subtle aromas are retained by the narrow mouth. Comes in a black cylinder gift box. Height 8.66 in.
