Reveal’Up glasses are available in eight different sizes to meet all restaurant serving requirements. Chef & Sommelier® ambassador Julia Scavo, ranked 3rd Best Sommelier in the Association de la Sommelier International (ASI) in Europe, kept four key elements in mind when designing the collection: Touch, Sight, Smell and Taste. The glasses feel light in the hand, perfectly balanced, and their laser cut sheer rim (.9mm) is pleasant on the lips. Its lines are aesthetically beautiful and its perfect clarity allows the wine to show its true colors. Scavo designed the Reveal’Up glass to minimize alcohol perception thus enhancing the aroma and taste of the wine. The INTENSE shape provides an extra-large oxygenation surface - all the better for the wine to breathe. This glass is perfect for the tasting of full bodied, highly tannic reds. The SOFT glass, on the other hand, still has a relatively large oxygenation surface but a smaller bowl opening and is intended for the tasting of young, light wines. Both have a 2-4 Oz. gauge to ensure accurate economical pours making them ideal for a wine by the glass programs. Both also offer the largest oxygenation surface in the Chef & Sommelier® wine collection—perfect for tasting young or mature wine varietals, as well as strong and tannic. Durability is also of utmost importance in the Reveal’Up collection. Its one thing to up the ante on elegance and style but the restaurateur is still concerned about chipping and breakage. Not to worry. Reveal’Up glasses are also made of Cardinal International's Kwarx® material and can stand up to the rigors of commercial dishwashing and rough handling with the best of them. Reveal’Up glasses are a perfect complement to elegant table settings and enhance the experience of enjoying fine wines.

The family of products allows you to communicate and tailor the experience of the coffee’s aroma in a new and exciting way.
