The Lismore Balloon Wine Glass, Set of 2 from Waterford features generous proportions designed specifically for full-bodied red wines. The oversized bowl allows Gran Cru and Reserva vintages to breathe properly, with signature diamond and wedge cuts covering the curved crystal surface. Established by Miroslav Havel, this traditional geometric vocabulary receives hand-cutting that ensures pattern clarity despite the balloon's top-heavy form. The wide bowl maximizes wine's air contact while concentrating aromas toward the rim, with substantial crystal weight providing necessary stability.
