Choosing the right glasses makes all the difference to the dining experience. More than just a detail, glasses help define the style, functionality, and even the atmosphere of every moment.
Whether for everyday use or special occasions, knowing how to choose between highball glasses, lowball glasses, or acrylic glasses is essential.

Beyond the glass: the drink's temperature makes all the difference
Choosing the right glass is half the battle. The other half is serving the wine at the ideal temperature, and this is where many people lose points without realizing why. A white wine that warms up quickly on the table, a rosé that is no longer chilled by the second glass, or a sparkling wine that loses its appeal after 20 minutes. The problem is neither the wine nor the glass: it is the rising temperature.
The most practical solution is a jug with an integrated cooling system. Fill the inner compartment with ice, place the wine around it, and the temperature remains stable throughout the meal—no ice buckets on the table, no bottle sweating in the centre, and no interruptions to go to the fridge.
Borosilicate Glass Jug with Integrated Cooler
Thermal-shock-resistant borosilicate glass, a central compartment for ice, and a discreet design that looks great on any table. Ideal for white wines, rosés, and sparkling wines. Enough capacity to serve 4 to 6 people without having to get up.
24,99€ View product →For red wines, the serving temperature is different, between 16°C and 18°C, so they do not require active cooling. But on a hot day, or during a long meal, even a red wine benefits from being served slightly cooler than room temperature. The cooler jug solves this effortlessly.
Perfect for those who want practicality without compromising on style.
