Bodum tumblers

Published: 20 Apr 11

DE-STEMMED

Bodum first introduced stemless wine glasses in the early 1990s but, historically, drinking wine from tumblers is not uncommon – Italy has led the way in Europe. Still, it may take some convincing to get South African wine drinkers to sip their Cap Classique out of a tumbler.

High-end glassware – but without the stem – wine tumblers are popular in Italy, and Bodum will be hoping that the trend will catch on in SA.

While the idea may not appeal to everyone, these Bodum tumblers are practical for braais and picnics, and they fi t easily into the dishwasher. The manufacturer promises that the glasses won’t stain or scratch and a ridged grip area reduces hand contact and the resultant heat transfer.

The range consists of a Bodum Champagne tumbler (ARP: R95), a white wine tumbler (ARP: R105) and a red wine tumbler (ARP: R115). Available at Chefs Warehouse (tel 021 422 0128) or go to www.yuppiechef.co.za.
