Wine connoisseurs, serving staff and and kitchen teams all know exactly what they expect from an outstanding wine glass. It should show the wine to its best advantage, set aesthetic standards, provide durability and stability, be dishwasher-proof and simply be called for at every occasion. Is there indeed such a universal glass, which unites all the different demands in the best quality?

They achieve quality features that up to now were only achieved in hand-manufactured goblets. In every single one of the fourteen different sizes of ‘Authentis’ glasses, high-tech know-how is blended in the manufacture with the latest discoveries in the area of wine tasting. Hence even sommeliers taste their good vintages with particular pleasure from an ‘Authentis’ goblet in the characteristic tulip shape.

This striking design, which gives pleasure to lips, eyes and hands, stands out because of an almost revolutionary concept: It doesn’t have a stem! What the kitchen chef views with pleasure – the glasses therefore last longer and can be arranged better in the dishwasher – the wine connoisseur would regard as a full-bodied invitation to the senses. The new creation in lead crystal invites us to play with new ideas and throws overboard the old conventions in an inimitably endearing way. Spiegelau endorsed the high level of functionality and quality with a certificate.

And if more and more wine is served on the tables of In-Cafés and Wine bars in goblets from the ‘Authentis’ glass range, then on the one hand this is due to their innovative character, but also to a great extent it is due to that certain something that glass does or doesn’t have. And it can become a cult object almost overnight.
