Quality and affordability combine to make one fantastic new line:  the Spiegelau Wine Lovers collection by Libbey.  Known in the industry for its high performance and detailed craftsmanship, Spiegelau is dedicated to producing the best possible glass and has yet to disappoint.

Spiegelau’s Platinum Glass technology—the process of passing liquid glass through platinum-lined tubes—increases  the durability of the glass, leaving you with brilliant, scratch- and fog-resistant glasses even after 1500 dishwasher cycles.

The Wine Lovers collection is available in three different bowl shapes, each designed to enhance character and bouquet.  The red wine glass offers a larger opening to the bowl, allowing the lovely aroma of the wine to reach the air and then the nose, heightening the overall red wine experience.  Opt for the Bordeaux glass for fuller-bodied, heavier wines such as Cabernets and Merlots.  The glass is taller, which maximizes flavor by allowing the wine to directly reach the back of the mouth.  Serve whites in the straighter white wine glass—U-shaped and upright—to help maintain the chill of the wine while still allowing the aroma to escape.   And for champagne or sparkling wine choices, opt for the Wine Lovers flute—the narrow shape retains carbonation and captures the flavor of the beverage in the glass.

Hard-wearing glassware that retains its elegant clarity at an unbeatable price makes Wine Lovers collection the obvious choice for any dining establishment.   Because really, what’s not to love?
