BORDEAUX GLASS

The Bordeaux glass is essentially a bigger, taller version of the all-purpose glass. These larger dimensions provide more space for swirling & sniffing full-bodied wines.

COPITA

Copita means "little glass" in Spanish. It's the go-to glass for serving fortified wines like sherry & port, as well as aperitifs & spirits.
