410ml Alba Red Wine Taster

Description

Broader in the bowl than its white wine sibling, this taster gives full-bodied reds and whites extra surface area to breathe before assessment. It's built from the same Sparkx crystal, chosen for its colour-neutral properties so nothing distorts how a wine actually looks in the glass. The 150ml line sits below a generous headspace, with a dedicated branding zone lower down the bowl. Capacity is set at 410ml.

Pour Line (150ml): This glass features a single Plimsoll line positioned at the 150ml mark, a calibrated measure guide adapted from the maritime practice of marking safe water lines on ship hulls. For hospitality venues, it offers a straightforward way to pour a consistent 150ml wine measure without guesswork. The line is a practical addition for bars, restaurants and licensed venues focused on accurate serving.

Sparkx Crystal: Sparkx crystal is a lead-free glass formulated for total colour neutrality and strong optical clarity, allowing tasters to judge a wine's true colour and brightness without interference. Its development involved direct input from sommeliers and tasting experts, making it purpose-built for professional use rather than general dining. It brings a level of precision standard glassware simply doesn't offer.

Wide Bowl Aeration: A broader bowl diameter gives this glass more surface area than a standard taster, letting full-bodied red or white wines breathe deeply before they're assessed. The extra room above the 150ml fill line keeps aroma concentrated within a generous headspace. It's a design suited to wines that need more time and space to fully open up.

Dishwasher Endurance: This glass is rated to survive more than 2,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without clouding or losing its surface brilliance. For busy venues, that means significantly less frequent glassware replacement compared to standard tasting glasses. It's a durability standard built for daily professional use rather than occasional service.

Choosing a Decoration Method

This glassware can be decorated two ways, and both will stand up to the dishwasher.

Pad printing is the standard method, with prices shown on this page. The logo is applied by pad print using special European inks, so the branding is dishwasher safe. That makes it a practical choice for pubs, clubs and cafes where glasses go through commercial washers daily.

Laser etching, also priced on this page, engraves the logo directly into the glass for a frosted, single colour finish. Etching is permanent, dishwasher safe, and won't fade over time.
