Mouthblown quality glass
At Remix by Sofie, we believe that every sip of your favourite wine or sparkling champagne should be a pure pleasure. Our extensive selection of glasses allows you to elevate your drinking experience, whether you are enjoying a fine Bordeaux, a fresh Chardonnay or the delight of champagne bubbles.
Hand on heart, there are probably not many wine enthusiasts who buy their wine glasses from us. We know that you don’t like many of the colored glasses and it’s also okay that you want to study the color of the wine and that it’s part of the experience. We also have glass in ready, but we love the colors and the beautiful drill covers that you can make with them.
So our range is unique – if you love mouth-blown and hand-made glasses with lots of colours. We have a wide and colorful selection from Anna von Lipa. Here is the Lyon series, which for many years has been a bestseller. The beautiful Ripple series was made for Remix by Sofie a few years ago.
So whether you’re enjoying a glass of your favorite wine after a long day or toasting a special occasion with champagne, do it in style using glassware that’s as unique as your taste. Choose from our exquisite range and make every sip memorable. Cheers!
The magic of the Right Glass.
The magic of the right glass - Have you ever wondered why there are so many different types of wine glasses? Each glass is carefully designed to enhance the character of the wine it contains. The shape, size and style of the glass can have a significant impact on your overall taste experience.
When it comes to champagne and sparkling wines, the choice of glass can affect your taste experience. You’ve probably seen both flutes and coupés used for champagne, and you might wonder if it makes a difference.
What defines a good wine glass?
A good wine glass is more than just a container for your wine; it is the key to unlocking the wine’s full potential of flavour and aroma. Here are some essential characteristics of a good wine glass:
1. Shape: The shape of the glass is not accidental. It is designed to lead the wine to specific parts of your taste experience and enhance your ability to taste its nuances. For example, red wine glasses typically have a wider bowl to allow the wine to breathe and release its rich aromas.
2. Material: High quality glass, which is free of impurities, ensures that nothing interferes with the wine taste. Crystal glass is often preferred for its clarity, brilliance and thin edge.
3. Size: The size of a wine glass is important as it affects the ratio of wine to air. A larger glass allows more room for the wine to interact with oxygen, which can soften its tannins and open up its flavour nuances.
4. With or without stem: Glass with a stem is classic and allows you to hold the glass without heating the wine with your hand. Glass without a stem is more versatile and easier to store.
Which glass is best for bubbles?
Champagne flutes: Flutes are known for their slender, elongated shape. They help preserve the champagne’s softness by minimising the surface area in contact with the air. This shape concentrates the bubbles, making them more noticeable and extending the life of the bubbles. Flutes are excellent for bowl speeches and celebrations, as they beautifully accentuate the bubbles.
Champagne coupés or Champagne bowls: With their wider, lower bowls, have been historically popular for serving champagne. They add a touch of vintage elegance to your drinking experience. Although the bowls may not retain the bubbles as well as whistles, some prefer them for their aesthetic appeal and ability to let the aromas develop freely. So they are best when it comes to a reception where you stand and everything needs to go a little quickly.
The choice is yours?
So, should you choose flutes or bowls for your champagne? Ultimately, this depends on personal preference and the occasion. If you love the classic look and enjoy the full aroma of champagne, choose the bowls. If you want to highlight the bubbles and make a memorable bowl, then flutes are the right choice.
