ZWIESEL Hommage Comete 473 ml crystal wine glass, 473 ml capacity

ZWIESEL Hommage Comete 473 ml crystal wine glass is designed to accommodate larger pours while preserving the wine's aroma and taste. The clear crystal construction and thin rim support direct delivery of aromas to the nose, and the stem ensures comfortable handling and prevents hand heat transfer to the bowl. With a 473 ml capacity, this wine glass is suitable for full-bodied red wines and tasting formats that call for more generous pours.

Advantages

The Hommage Comete glass combines fine crystal clarity with a slim rim and balanced stem, delivering consistent presentation and functional performance. Its 473 ml volume allows sommeliers and wine enthusiasts to pour larger servings without overwhelming the bowl, supporting aeration and the development of complex aromas. The stemmed design keeps the bowl cool and facilitates precise handling during service and tasting.

How to use

Hold the glass by the stem to avoid warming the bowl with your hand. Pour wine to an appropriate level—typically one third to one half of the bowl—to allow space for swirling and aeration. Swirl gently to release aromas and use the thin rim to direct aroma toward the nose when tasting. After use, rinse or wash according to care instructions to maintain crystal clarity and rim condition.

Usage recommendations

For best results with red wines, allow a short period of exposure to air in the glass to enhance aroma development. Store glasses upright in a clean cabinet to avoid dust and protect the rim from chips. When washing, follow manufacturer care guidance for crystal glassware to preserve clarity and thin-rim integrity.
