Vortice Gold Crystal Spinning Wine Glass Set of 2
The Vortice Gold Crystal Spinning Wine Glass Set of 2 transforms the familiar ritual of swirling wine through a patented rotating construction. Each crystal bowl moves independently around the stem, allowing the wine to circulate while the base remains positioned on the table.
A discreet internal pin connects the bowl to the stem. The gold-finished mechanism detail remains visible beneath the crystal, becoming both a functional component and a precise decorative accent within the otherwise transparent design.
The rotating movement is controlled with a gentle motion of the thumb. As the bowl turns, the wine travels naturally across the inner surface of the crystal glass, supporting aeration and closer observation of its colour, aroma and taste.
Three product options allow the set to be selected according to preferred bowl shape. The Open Bowl Set includes two taller glasses, the Closed Bowl Set includes two more enclosed glasses, and the mixed tasting set combines one of each.
The open bowl has a taller, more elongated profile, while the closed bowl curves inward towards the rim. These different forms provide two distinct approaches to wine presentation within the same Vortice crystal glassware design.
Created for wine tasting and considered table service, the set offers an alternative to conventional crystal wine glasses. Customers looking to buy wine glasses online can select the bowl combination that best suits their preferred tasting format.
Two handcrafted rotating wine glasses with clear crystal bowls and gold-finished mechanism details. A gentle thumb movement spins the bowl, allowing the wine to swirl while the glass remains on the table. Available through our online glassware shop in three configurations: two open bowls, one open and one closed bowl, or two closed bowls.
THE ARTISTRY OF MATERIALS
Clear crystal preserves an unobstructed view of the wine and reveals the controlled movement of the rotating bowl. The transparent construction keeps the mechanism visually light while maintaining the proportions of a traditional stemmed wine glass.
The gold-finished detail marks the connection between bowl and stem. Its warm metallic surface creates a restrained contrast with the clear crystal and identifies the functional centre of the design.
EXCLUSIVITY & HERITAGE
Every collection presented within the G.P.Grant Crystal Selection is chosen for its authentic craftsmanship, artistic individuality and enduring design. Vortice combines traditional Italian crystal glassmaking with a patented rotating mechanism created specifically for wine tasting.
Crafted in Italy by Griffe Montenapoleone – Vetrerie di Empoli, every piece is produced using traditional mouth-blown, hand-cut, hand-polished and hand-painted crystal techniques. Individual items may bear the original producer’s maker’s mark, preserving their authentic manufacturing heritage.
