I make few exceptions for trendy wine glasses - certainly no color, no swirls, bubbles or glitter are allowed. My belief is that the glass should not take away from the wine - period. Still, I cannot turn away from the Essence glasses by one of my favorite glass makers in the world: iittala! Because Essence is so uniquely simple and elegant, you wont need as many glasses as you would normally (hint, hint, the reason behind the name). This design would look great in alost any setting, certainly helping to elevate the overall decor.

Essence includes glasses for red and white wine, a champagne flute and a cute cordial glass.
