Balloon glass

The balloon glass is recognisable by its wide, rounded bowl set on a short stem. In our Balloon glass range, this generous shape encourages the wine to oxygenate and concentrates its aromas, making it a popular choice both in restaurant service and on the table at home. It belongs to the Wine glass section, itself part of our Glassware range.

Choosing your balloon glass

Which capacity should you choose?

Balloon glasses come in several volumes. A wide bowl gives the wine room to breathe and release its aromas, while keeping a clear handling area at the stem. For restaurant use, check the working capacity against your serving measure to ensure a consistent presentation from one guest to the next.

Which material and care?

Glass and crystalline models offer good clarity to appreciate the colour of the wine. For intensive use in hospitality, choose glasses that are dishwasher-safe and resistant to the repeated knocks of service. Pay attention to the strength of the stem and rim, the areas most exposed in daily use.

Our Balloon glass range includes references from Chef & Sommelier and La Rochère. To complete your service, explore the other wine glass shapes such as the Red wine glass, the White wine glass or the Wine tasting glass on AZ Boutique.
