Discovering the Perfect Pairing: Wine and Orrefors Crystal

The Art of Wine and Glassware Pairing

Wine and glassware pairing is an art that requires a deep understanding of both the wine and the crystal. At Orrefors, we believe that the perfect pairing can elevate the entire experience of enjoying fine wine. Our expert sommeliers work closely with our master glassmakers to craft glasses that bring out the unique characteristics of each wine.

For example, a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc is best paired with a glass that highlights its citrus and grassy notes. On the other hand, a rich and oaky Chardonnay requires a glass that showcases its buttery and vanilla flavors.

The Science Behind Wine and Crystal Pairing

Wine and crystal pairing is not just about aesthetics; it's also rooted in science. The shape and material of the glass can affect the way we perceive the wine's aroma, taste, and finish. Orrefors' master glassmakers use advanced technology to precision-craft glasses that optimize the wine-drinking experience.

Our research has shown that certain shapes and materials can enhance specific flavor profiles. For instance, a glass with a narrow opening can concentrate the aromas of a wine, while a glass with a wide bowl can soften the tannins of a red wine.
