Estate Collection Waterford Avoca Claret Wine Glasses

The bowl shape is designed to provide enough surface area for the wine to breathe, which helps soften the tannins and release the complex aromas typical of claret and other red varietals.

At 6 1/2 inches tall, these are slightly shorter than many modern, oversized wine glasses. This compact, substantial design makes them very stable and easy to handle during formal dinners.

Yes, the Avoca pattern features deep-cut crisscrosses that create a distinct tactile texture on the exterior. This design not only adds visual interest by catching the light but also provides a secure grip.

Absolutely. While they are optimized for claret, their versatile shape works well for a variety of medium-to-full-bodied red wines, such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.
