How many glasses have you broken at parties, while washing or knocking them over on the counter? How much money do you spend replacing all those glasses in the long-term? We think the answer to both of these questions is a lot, if you’re using some of the leading high-end European brands. What if you could have stems that will last longer, and are dishwasher-safe while still providing the enhanced sensory attributes expected from exceptional stemware? Ultima is the answer.
Watch as we demonstrate everyday scenarios in which stemware is broken and compare Ultima stems with the leading European brand. Please share your breakage scenario in the comments below and we may just test it in our lab and post a video of it.
I purchased 8 of the Burgundy Ultima glasses within the last year from a local wine merchant. Within that year, as of tonight, we have broken 4 of the glasses, three while drying them and one was simply tipped over (empty) on a tile counter top. I bought the Ultima glasses because I had broken two of my Reidel glasses (over a three year period). The Ultima glasses are wonderful to drink from, but I have been very disappointed in the breakage resistance of the glasses.
