Frequently asked questions
X Wine glasses are made from common soda-lime glass. Due to the availability of raw materials, glass compositions vary slightly. However, the glass composition of all our soda-lime glasses contains some or all of the following materials.
SiO3 (silicon dioxide)
Al2O3 (aluminium oxide, aluminium oxide)
CaO (lime, calcium oxide)
MgO (magnesium oxide)
Na2O (sodium monoxide)
K2= (potassium oxide)
SO3 (sulphur trioxide)
X Wineglasses was redesigned in 2019 and adapted to the times. A universal genius.
Wine styles have changed enormously in recent years.
Organic wine, natural wine and orange wine are just some of the changes. We also owe new wine experiences to the processing in temperature-controlled tanks and the physiologically ripe timing of the grape harvest. The wine glasses remained unchanged.
We wanted to change that.
Sparkling wines
Sparkling wine flutes are a NO-GO, sparkling wine needs space. The X original is the ideal glass for bottle-fermented sparkling wines. A small swirl at the bottom of the bowl keeps the sparkling wine lively. Small opening keeps the carbon dioxide in the glass.
White wines
Many white wines with mash time and barrel storage have tannin, which concentrates in too high goblets and has a bitter effect.
X Wineglass has adjusted the bowl to the ideal height. Any volatile acids or carbon dioxide can escape. The shape of the glass is round and angular. It does not make the wine rounder, nor does it make the wine appear more angular.
Red wines
The symbiosis of Burgundy style and Bordeaux style is X Wineglass. The wines have changed. Sangiovese and Barolo are increasingly confused and Bordeaux can also be drunk young. Young wines with lots of fruit are just as popular as mature tannin classics.
beers
Gourmets have long been drinking beer in wine glasses. Craft beers have recently proven to us that our glass is predestined for this.
Water
Why not have the most important drink in a glass? Without water there is no life. So let's raise a glass......
Bottom up
Yes, absolutely. Please note that the glasses weigh between 75 grams and a maximum of 115 grams and move through the water jet in a dishwasher. Make sure that it cannot fall over or float. For commercial machines, we recommend plastic dishwasher baskets, not metal ones, as otherwise the fine edges will splinter. Most of the time, too much detergent is used.
If the glasses are cloudy, it is probably due to the lime content of your water.
This is because every glass has small pores, small holes. The limescale from the water adheres to these. But you can remove it with acetic acid.
