Jancis Robinson Precision Universal Wine Glass

Richard Brendon · £52

A pair of universal wine glasses with tapered bowls, shown together.

Worth being NRY provisional

The Jancis Robinson universal glass in a more durable make, at half the price of the mouth-blown original. Richard Brendon describe it as the same wine expression plus a bit more durability, which is an unusually straight thing for a maker to say about their own cheaper model. One shape for every wine is the argument this whole category turns on, and this is the cheapest honest way to test whether you agree.

For
Anybody curious about the universal glass who is not ready to spend forty-eight pounds a stem.
Not for
Somebody who wants the thinnest glass on the table. That is the Original.

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
