The concept of these glasses is - as it is so often – genially simple and as a result just genius. Thomas has been a very successful wine merchant for many years and even co-owner of a vineyard for a short period of time. A real wine lover and expert who has supplied and advised many high class restaurants, especially in London. In doing so he consistently provided his clients with premium glasses from a glassmaker in Austria and soon the demand for those glasses was almost bigger than the competitive business of filling them up.

That development made Thomas ponder on the design of the perfect wine-glass. His interest was not focused on the appearance but rather on the perfect functionality of the glass. A big foot and a not too long handle for the perfect stableness, the perfect glass for perfect stability despite nearly unbelievably slight wall thickness, the whole glass of course dishwasher-safe and - MOST IMPORTANT - the shape of a goblet, which allows the perfect enjoyment of wine, as it brings out the true character of the potation.

After many attempts, the unique, eponymous shape was developed: the DOUBLE BEND. A first bend, which extends the glass, to release the flavors, a perfect curve like a cone to give the tonic room to move, and a last curve tapering back, to bring the flavors into focus again for nose and gums.

Not without a reason, more and more wine producers grab some of the unique Double Bend glasses, because they feel that this receptacle delivers the power of the precious liquid particularly rich onto the gums.
