The ZWIESEL AIR SENSE Bordeaux 843 ml – 2 pcs is a pair of decanter-style wine glasses engineered to enhance the aroma and palate of Bordeaux-style red wines. Each glass holds 843 ml and features a tall bowl with a shape that encourages aeration, bouquet concentration, and smooth pour control. The clear glass construction provides visual clarity for assessing color and legs, while the form is intended for both casual home use and more formal wine service.
Advantages
This two-piece set combines a large 843 ml capacity with a Bordeaux-style bowl profile to promote oxygen contact and release complex aromas. The design balances ease of handling with a stable base and a rim shape that supports controlled sipping. The clear, thin-walled glass offers good visual presentation of the wine and helps moderate temperature transfer from the hand.
Suitable for (tasks / use cases)
- Decanting and aerating full-bodied red wines, especially Bordeaux-style varieties
- Home dinner service and small dinner parties
- Informal wine tasting sessions where aroma clarity is important
- Restaurants or bars that require matched glassware for red wine service
When it may not be suitable
These glasses are optimized for red wines that benefit from aeration; they are less appropriate for delicate white wines, sparkling wines, or fortified wines where different glass shapes are preferred. The large bowl and capacity may be impractical where table space is limited or when smaller pours are desired.
Key specifications
- Set content: 2 decanter-style wine glasses
- Capacity per glass: 843 ml
- Material: clear glass
- Shape: Bordeaux-style bowl designed for aeration and aroma concentration
- Intended use: red wine service and aeration
How to use
Pour an appropriate serving into the Bordeaux glass and allow the wine to rest briefly to interact with air; swirling the wine in the bowl will accelerate aroma release. Hold the glass by the stem or base to minimize hand heat transfer and to preserve the wine’s temperature. After use, rinse or wash according to the manufacturer’s care recommendations to maintain clarity and prevent residue buildup.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm that a large 843 ml capacity aligns with your serving and storage needs
- Ensure table and storage space can accommodate taller, wider glasses
- Consider whether you require specialized glassware for other wine types (whites, sparkling)
- Check care instructions for suitability with your preferred washing method
Usage recommendations
For best results with Bordeaux-style reds, pour a moderate amount to allow headspace for aromas, swirl gently to aerate, and serve at the recommended temperature for the wine type. Store glasses upright in a clean, dust-free cabinet to preserve clarity and prevent chips.
