About Cocoon

Cocoon is shaped like a cocoon – a rounded, organically curved bowl that gives wine the maximum room to open up. The shape is functional rather than decorative: the curve gathers the aromas and leads them up towards the nose, which gives a softer, more nuanced experience than a straight, linear glass.

The difference shows most on full-bodied reds that need oxygen to reveal what they are holding back.

The glasses in the series

  • Bordeaux wine glass 746 ml – the largest in the series, for cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah
  • Burgundy wine glass 712 ml – a wide bowl for pinot noir and nebbiolo
  • Red wine glass 609 ml – the all-round size for red
  • White wine glass 483 ml – the rounded bowl for white too, made for oak-aged wines
  • Champagne glass 340 ml – for sparkling wine
  • Stemless 556 ml and 447 ml – without a stem, works both for wine and as a water glass

The material is lead-free crystal glass from Weißwasser. The glasses are dishwasher safe. All are sold in packs of six.

Tip

Serve full-bodied reds at 16–18 °C and let the wine breathe for 20–30 minutes in the glass. That is when the cocoon shape does the most work.
