Manifesto

If wine tasting is an art, then the glass itself should frame the masterpiece and reflect the style of the work to perfection. When we launched the Sydonios adventure in 2016, we had only one thought in mind: to create a tasting glass of supreme-quality, worthy of transcribing fine wine to the highest standards of oenological precision.

Our mouth-blown, lead-free crystal wine glasses epitomise this unstinting quest for perfection. Our glassware is borne of the desire to be different, to actively explore new pathways and defy convention. To this end, we undertook an innovative science-led project in collaboration with more than a hundred fine wine experts.

This unprecedented, scientific and collaborative approach has confirmed the instrumental role of the glass in the tasting experience. It also dispelled any preconceived ideas and highlighted the true variables that come into play when expressing fine wine.

Rather than pursuing an approach determined by grape variety, colour or appellation, our research inspired us to focus purely on framing specific wine style.

A bold take on tradition

Our exceptional wine glasses, of unrivalled finesse and precision, also reveal the virtuoso art of mouth-blown glass, a legacy of age-old, yet timeless know-how. We are passionate about bringing this artistic skill set to life, which makes us all the more determined to take our artform to even greater heights with every creation.

“Fervent advocates of exceptional craftsmanship, we are proud to preserve and promote the age-old techniques of mouth-blown glass through our range of glassware and decanters.”
