Red Wine Glass
Pour a big, brooding red into a small glass and it just sits there. Pour it into this one and it wakes up. The wide, rounded bowl gives the wine room to breathe and gathers all that dark-fruit, oaky aroma right under your nose. Open a bottle for a slow Friday in or a nyama choma night with friends, swirl once, and you'll smell the difference before you even sip.
It's a glass, so there's nothing to taste here, but it changes how the wine does. That generous bowl means a wider surface for the wine to meet air, which softens the grippy tannins in bold reds and lets the bouquet open up. Give it a swirl and the aromas climb the sides and pool at the narrower rim, so each sniff hits fuller and the whole thing drinks smoother. Basically free decanting, every glass.

Why this shape exists
The big-bowl red glass isn't just for looks. Glassmakers worked out long ago that the rounder and roomier the bowl, the more air the wine touches, and air is what tames the tannins and frees the aroma in heavier reds. The narrower rim then funnels all that scent back to you. Whites and sparkling get slimmer glasses for the opposite reason. This is the workhorse of the wine rack: an unfussy, house-style stem built to make good reds taste like their best selves.
Quick questions
- What is the price of Red Wine Glass?
Red Wine Glass is KSh 280 at Oaks & Corks. Order online for delivery in 30 minutes for most areas in Nairobi, or next day countrywide.
- What is a Red Wine Glass?
It's a stemmed glass with a large, rounded bowl, made for serving red wine. The wide bowl gives the wine room to breathe and the stem keeps your hand off the wine.
- What is it for?
Serving and aerating red wine, especially bold full-bodied reds like Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah. The shape softens tannins and lifts the aroma so the wine drinks smoother.
- Why is the bowl so big?
More bowl means more surface area for the wine to meet air. That extra breathing softens grippy tannins and opens up the aromas, then the narrower rim funnels the scent to your nose.
- Why does it have a stem?
So you can hold it without warming the wine. Grab the stem, not the bowl, and your red stays at the right temperature for longer.
- Does it have an ABV?
No. This is glassware, not a drink, so there's no alcohol content. Whatever you pour in brings its own.
- How do I look after it?
Hand-wash in warm water, skip harsh abrasives, and let it dry standing upright. That keeps the bowl clear so you can actually see the colour of your wine.
