J-Line Ralph

First, consider the capacity. Thirty-seven centiliters means filling the glass to about one-third, or around 12 cl per glass, leaving enough air above the wine for the aroma to develop. If you want more room for full-bodied red wine, a larger bowl from the red wine glasses is a better choice. Then choose the color: a single shade across the entire table looks formal, while a mix of amber and mint creates a more relaxed feel. All three versions share the same shape and height, so they also pair well with the other colored glasses.

Hold the glass by the stem, not the bowl, otherwise the wine will warm up from the heat of your hand. White wine should be served chilled and in smaller pours, while red wine can comfortably remain in the glass for a while. The same 37 cl capacity is also ideal for a spritz with plenty of ice: for an Aperol Spritz or a Hugo spritz the bowl is spacious enough for ice, bubbles, and a slice of fruit. For a pitcher of sangria the colored versions work well.

Ralph is machine-pressed soda-lime glass with an applied stem. The colour is in the glass mass, so it does not fade and does not wash out. Place the glasses in the dishwasher so the bowls do not touch; with a stemmed glass, damage usually happens because two bowls tap against each other during the cycle. Let them drain upside down on a cloth rather than towelling them dry while warm, and you will avoid streaks on the bowl.

Looking for the same style in a water glass or a lower stemless glass? You can find the other collections on the brand page for J-Line. For a broad overview of wine glasses in all sizes, see the wine glasses. If you mainly serve white wine and are looking for a narrower bowl that keeps the wine cool for longer, take a look specifically at the white wine glasses, where the sizes are listed by grape variety.
