These Vinum Cognac glasses offer a modern take on enjoying your favorite brandy or Cognac. Their flute-like shape balances the aroma and taste, softening the alcohol’s bite while highlighting the delicate bouquet — perfect for savoring every sip. Plus, they’re made from fine crystal and look great on any home bar.

Different opinions on the ideal cognac glass are as old as the drink itself. Even today, cognac is mainly served in wide tulip-shaped glasses - in spite of the disadvantages which this traditional shape has for the enjoyment of cognac. The differences in color, aroma and taste are the features by which the quality of a cognac is judged. The finely tuned shape of this glass harmonises the aroma and the taste, tempering the alcohol and the stringency of the palate and emphasizing the bouquet. The flute-shaped glass allows its contents a very small evaporation surface. You will be surprised to detect no pungent fumes but delicately balanced aromas reminiscent of a summer meadow.
