With over five hundred years of experience, the spiegelau factory has a tradition of combining hand-craftmanship with the latest technology to create glasses of the very highest quality.
A new technique is used in the manufacture of the Raymond Blanc Precision range - the platinum process - and this is yet another example of the company’s commitment to innovation in pursuit of excellence.
After undergoing 1500 dishwasher cycles, Spiegelau stemware was certified as “extremely dishwasher safe” by an independent laboratory. They found no scratching, markings, loss of brilliance, foggy shadows, change in color or brilliance or build up of water chemicals and residue. Spiegelau’s remarkable durability can be attributed in large part to the Platinum Glass process. As the glass goes from its powder to its liquid stage, liquid glass is passed through platinum-lined tubes to eliminate any impurities and remove all imperfections and inconsistencies that might otherwise exist. (Platinum prevents leaching that may occur from other equipment linings) While more expensive, this innovative use of technology proves Spiegelau’s commitment to quality. The result is a "high performance" wine glass with a remarkable marriage of elegance, functionality and durability.
Raymond Blanc wrote:
"Most wine glasses are chosen for their appearance but, for me, the most important factor by far is performance. The design and shape of a glass can have a significant impact on the way a wine tastes. My Précision range takes this factor to new heights.
Developed by a team of wine experts working alongside Spiegelau’s top designers, the Précision range has been created to provide the ideal wine glass, matching performance with beauty. The wide contour at the base of the bowl allows the aromas to develop within the glass, enhancing the bouquet to bring out the more complex flavours. The upper bowl and fine rim are to deliver the wine to the correct zones on the tongue to balance the acidity, fruit and tannins. The result is maximum taste sensation." Raymond Blanc
