Calice Universal Crystal Wine Glass, 600 ml

A universal glass is a compromise made deliberately. Rather than owning three shapes and using whichever is clean, you own one that is good at all three — and for most tables that is the better outcome.

At 600 ml the bowl is large enough to swirl a red and open it, while the taper is tight enough to hold the aromatics of a white. It is not a Bordeaux glass and it is not a flute; it is the shape that loses least across the range, which is why sommeliers increasingly pour from one.

Handmade, so the bowl is blown rather than pressed and the wall thins toward the rim. That is the difference you feel at the lip and the reason a handmade glass costs what it does.

• One shape for three wines: red, white and sparkling
• 600 ml: room to swirl a red and open it
• Tight enough taper: holds the aromatics of a white
• Handmade: blown rather than pressed
• Thins toward the rim: the difference you feel at the lip
• Fewer glasses to own: one set instead of three
