Peugeot 250072 Les Impitoyables Le Taster Universal Tasting Glass

For more than a century, the Peugeot name has been synonymous with French gourmet cooking. Recently, an opportunity arose for Peugeot to bring its penchant for quality and innovation to a family of wine products. With the Les Impitoyables collection, tasting becomes perfection. As tools created for professionals, Les Impitoyables glasses intensify the characteristics of wine by enhancing their qualities or bringing out the slightest flaw. There are 5 glasses that make up the Les Impitoyables line, (represented by numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, plus Le Taster), each with a specific purpose. Every glass in the collection is a unique, handmade piece, (lead free), and is authenticated by a signature on the foot. Le Taster is designed to quickly reveal everything about the wine it holds – the good and the bad. A universal tasting glass that is suitable for all wines, it is made of extremely thin glass and has several distinctive characteristics. First, Le Taster is stem less with a flat bottom and a gentle taper leading to the mouth of the glass. Two dimples – one in the base, the other on the side, are included for the drinker to hold the glass. The dimples allow Le Taster to be held with the thumb and second finger. This limited contact will not cause excessive warming of the wine by the hand. The dimples also create a relief inside the glass which causes the wine molecules to break against them during swirling (allowing the wine to aerate more quickly). Tube contains one Le Taster glass.
