xRavenscroft International Tasting Glass
The Ravenscroft International Tasting Glass is a European-inspired INAO-style stemware designed for serious wine tastings and larger events. The 7 ¾ ounce bowl features a tall chimney that helps focus aromas, allowing tasters to explore nose and palate in a measured, controlled way—even with pours as small as half an ounce. This design is commonly seen in winery tasting rooms and multi-wine events where clarity and consistency matter.
Compared with classic INAO glassware, this Ravenscroft piece aims to deliver a more elegant hand and mouth feel. The construction favors durability and a refined silhouette: a medium shear rim, a stem pulled from the base, and a seamless connection between stem and bowl. Unlike pressed stems, this glass emphasizes a clean, seam-free look that remains visually calm on a busy table.
