Product Description
Bold reds like Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon need serious aeration space, and this is the largest bowl in the Alba taster range, built specifically for that job. The expanded surface area lets the wine interact fully with oxygen before assessment, while a vast headspace sits above the certified 150ml line to hold concentrated aroma. Made from Sparkx crystal, it keeps colour reading completely accurate throughout tasting. There's room on the lower bowl for a business logo or venue name, and total capacity reaches 510ml.
Sparkx Crystal: This glass is made from Sparkx crystal, a lead-free material engineered for complete colour neutrality and exceptional optical clarity, letting tasters judge a wine's true hue without any distortion from the glass itself. It was developed in direct collaboration with sommeliers and wine tasting professionals, so its properties are built specifically around what expert tasting requires. It's a material designed for precision rather than just presentation.
Plimsoll Line (150ml): This horizontal marking shows the 150ml pour line, giving bar and restaurant staff a quick visual guide for pouring a consistent measure of wine. Known as a Plimsoll line, it takes its name from the same principle used on ship hulls to mark safe loading levels. It's a simple way to keep every pour accurate without needing to eyeball or measure separately.
Maximum Aeration Bowl: This taster has the widest bowl in the range, creating a significantly larger wine surface area than a standard tasting glass. That extra space lets bold, complex reds such as Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon interact more fully with oxygen, while a vast aromatic headspace remains above the 150ml fill point. It's a shape built specifically for wines that need serious room to open up before assessment.
Dishwasher Endurance: Lab testing shows this glass can withstand more than 2,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without clouding or losing its surface brilliance. For venues washing glassware daily, that translates to years of reliable service before any decline in clarity becomes noticeable. It's a level of durability built for the pace of professional hospitality, not just occasional use.

How We Brand Your Glassware
Pad Print. Our
standard option and the prices you see on this page. Your logo's pad
printed, then cured in a low fire oven. It's not dishwasher safe, so
hand wash only.
Decal Print. Want it dishwasher
safe? Go decal. It's fired in a high temperature kiln so the logo's
fused to the glass permanently. Costs more than pad print, so ask our
team for a quote.
Laser Etching. Prices for
etching are on this page too. The logo's etched straight into the
glass for a frosted finish that never fades and won't wash off.
Completely dishwasher safe.
