FAQs

What is the capacity of these wine glasses?

Each glass has a capacity of 29cl, which is equivalent to 10.25 fluid ounces.

Are these glasses suitable for red wine as well as white wine?

Yes, while designed with a capacity often associated with white wine, the shape and material are suitable for serving any type of wine.

Can I put these glasses in the freezer?

It is not recommended to put these glasses in the freezer. Extreme cold can cause thermal shock and potentially damage the glass, especially if there are any existing micro-fractures.

What does 'lead-free glass' mean?

Lead-free glass means that the glass is made without the addition of lead oxides, which were traditionally used to increase brilliance and workability. Lead-free glass is safer and considered more environmentally friendly.

How should I store these glasses when not in use?

Store the glasses in a stable location where they are unlikely to be knocked over. Ideally, store them upright on a shelf or rack. If stacking, use protective material between them to prevent scratches.

Are there other items in the Belle-Ile collection?

The product information provided focuses on the wine glasses. For details on other items in the Belle-Ile collection, please refer to the manufacturer's catalog or retailer information.

What is the best way to remove stubborn water spots?

For stubborn water spots, try soaking the glasses in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for about an hour, then wash and rinse as usual. Ensure they are dried thoroughly afterwards.

Troubleshooting

Glass appears cloudy after washing

This can sometimes be caused by mineral deposits from hard water. Try using a dishwasher rinse aid or a specialized dishwasher cleaner. For hand washing, a diluted vinegar rinse can help restore clarity.

Minor chips or cracks on rim or stem

Inspect the glass carefully. While durable, the edges and stems can be susceptible to chipping if handled roughly or subjected to impact. Consider hand washing and careful storage for longevity.

Glass feels warm or cold when it shouldn't

Ensure the glasses have been allowed to reach room temperature before serving beverages, especially if they have been stored in a very cold or warm environment. Avoid rapid temperature changes.
