A Brief History of Wine Glasses

The evolution of the wine glass traces back to ancient civilisations, where wine was consumed from metal or clay vessels. It wasn't until the Renaissance in Venice that glassblowing techniques elevated wine drinking to an art form. The development of clear glass allowed drinkers to appreciate the wine's colour and clarity, essential aspects of the tasting experience.
By the 18th century, specific glass shapes were developed for different wine types. In modern times, this refinement continued with designs focused on enhancing taste and aroma. Dartington Crystal, founded in 1967 in Devon, England, drew upon these traditions to create elegant, functional glassware for everyday use. The RED Wine Set of SIX exemplifies this legacy - blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary British design.
