In the four years since its introduction, a clear champion has emerged from the crowded field of high-performance wine glasses: Roberto Conterno’s Sensory Glass.

As Roberto’s direct importer on the U.S. West Coast, we’ve been privileged to share these marvelous stems with, literally, thousands of American wine lovers and professionals. And in the process, the brilliance of its design is becoming ever clearer.

The wide expanse of the bowl allows the wine to open up uniquely. And the ingenious opening focuses the bouquet while spreading the wine to every corner of the palate. Most other elite stems direct the wine down the center of the tongue.

The result is a display of aromatic and flavor fireworks that no other wine glass in our experience can deliver.

This past year, we’ve had multiple occasions to compare the Sensory Glass’s performance against other glasses (especially Zalto). Very simply, the Sensory Glass elevates every wine you drink, transforming not only red wines, but also whites and Champagnes. At its usual $90 price tag, it's worth every penny and more.

But we can offer Roberto’s Sensory Glass with overnight shipping included. Buy two stems for just $175 or four stems for just $325, including overnight shipping in time for Christmas.

But your best bet is 6 individually boxed glasses in their own outer box for just $450—overnight shipping included!

The Glass

Working with his engineer son Gabrielle, Roberto Conterno designed the Sensory Glass to engage all five senses. The glasses are virtually weightless. The bowl has a wide base for maximum exposure of the wine’s surface to air, funneled through a beautifully curved narrowing to a subtle widening at the rim for full expression of aromatics and to assure the wine reaches every corner of your mouth. The renowned firm of Schott Zwiesel hand-crafts each glass to his exacting requirements.

We know of no one who has used the glass who hasn’t concluded that it does in fact show more nuance than any other wine glass made. In fact, using the Sensory Glass for the first time is an epiphany.

No matter your wines of choice, the Sensory Glass will elevate the experience, making each wine texturally more seductive and aromatically more intense.

Owning two or four Sensory Glasses are essential for anyone who loves great wine. But we'd strongly encourage you to grab a 6-pack, which comes in its own attractive outer box.
