What are ISO wine tasting glasses?
International Standards Organisation or ISO wine glasses are recognised internationally as the standard design for wine tasting.
The rounded bowl and narrow sides allow the wine to be swirled easily without any spillage. The rim helps contain all the delightful aromas and enhances appreciation.
These glasses are scientifically designed to be used across a broad range of styles; you can sample all wines from just one glass, ingenious! The size allows you to manage the glass more easily when making notes, or comparing the difference in colour side by side for example.
ISO tasting glasses are used for a professional, comfortable, and confident wine-tasting experience. Tasting is a demanding activity, and therefore, the appropriate glassware is needed.
