Anchor Hocking Karen MacNeil Flavor First, Bold & Powerful, Set of 4, Crystal Wine Glasses

Give Your Bold Red Wines the Glass They Deserve.

As a certified sommelier, I often see people invest in a great bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, only to serve it in a small, inadequate glass. This is a tragedy! Full-bodied red wines are complex and packed with dense aromas that need space to breathe and unfold. Using the right glass isn't snobbery; it's a fundamental part of unlocking the wine's full potential. The Flavor First 'Bold & Powerful' Glass by Karen MacNeil is the perfect tool for that job.

Why a Larger Bowl is Critical for Red Wine

This glass is a masterclass in functional design, born from Karen MacNeil's unparalleled expertise. The large, generous bowl provides a wide surface area, which is crucial for aeration—the process of introducing oxygen to the wine. When you swirl a bold red like a Bordeaux blend in this glass, the oxygen interacts with the wine, softening the tannins and releasing the rich, complex aromas of dark fruit, spice, and oak. The glass then tapers toward the rim, capturing all of those incredible aromatics and delivering them directly to your senses. It’s a scientifically-designed shape that transforms a good glass of wine into a great one.
