Robert Louis Stevenson once rightly said that, ‘Wine is bottled poetry.’ And so is a wine glass. Wine glasses come in a variety of sizes and forms, each created to enhance the flavours and aromas of a particular wine kind. The bowl, stem, and base are the three primary parts of a wine glass. The bowl is arguably the most important component because of how the way it is shaped affects how the scents of the wine are caught and conveyed to the drinker’s nose.
The Lucaris Desire Collection, created with love and artistry, combines the knowledge of Ocean Glass Thailand with the Hong Kong Sommelier Association. The end result is a selection of wine glasses that personify brilliance, adaptability, and simplicity. With Desire Collection, you may enjoy any wine variety with confidence because the glass has been precisely crafted to maximise its greatest expression. Gone are the days of using different glasses for various wines.
The ‘Aerlumer,’ a design of beautiful, curving lines under the bowl, elevates the wine into a new sensuous dimension in all aspects, ranging from the body to the palate to the nose. It is this ‘Aerlumer’ that serves as the magical signature of invention that distinguishes the Desire Collection. At the base of the wine glass from the Lucaris Desire Collection are curved lines that make up Aerlumer. The wine molecules are exposed to more oxygen during the process of micro-oxidation, which is supported by the curving patterns of the lines under the bowl. The scent or bouquet of the wine, as well as its flavour and body, are enhanced by micro-oxidation. The moment itself takes on additional sensuous dimensions with this increased level of wine consumption.
Mr. Nelson Chow, Chairman of the Hong Kong Sommelier Association (Greater China), comments on the cutting-edge design of the Desire collection and explains, “The Desire glass makes it easier for the wine specialists to engage with their customers by initiating a wine chat using the wine glass tool. Wine appreciation can be changed with just one turn of the Desire glass with Aerlumer, which is really what drinking wine is all about.
