The Merlot Maestro, our FT Merlot Wine Glass 42cl/14.75oz, is the epitome of sophistication and strength. Crafted from high-quality glass, it provides a clear visual appeal that brings out the true colors and depths of your favourite wines. Caterboss understands that durability is key in the hospitality industry, and that's why this glass is fully tempered from rim to foot. This makes it resistant to mechanical shocks, extending its lifespan by five times compared to non-tempered glass ranges. One of the defining features of this premium wine glass is its safety. In the rare event of breakage due to excessive force, the glass shatters into small, manageable pieces, reducing the risk of injury and making it a safe choice for bustling restaurants, bars, and hotels. This wine glass also boasts impressive heat resistance. It's thermal shock tested and can withstand temperature changes from hot to cold, up to a resistance of 135C. This ensures the glass remains intact and safe to use even in high-temperature situations. Designed with a beaded rim, the Merlot Maestro provides strength at its most vulnerable edges, minimising chipping and further lengthening its lifespan. This adds to its appeal in high-traffic hospitality settings. Another practical feature is its dishwasher-safe nature. Despite being strong and durable, it proves its resilience by withstanding industrial dishwasher cycles, all while maintaining its crystal-clear clarity. Finally, the seamless flame-polished stem ensures there's no seam between the bowl and stem. This not only makes for a more enjoyable drinking experience, but also adds to the aesthetic appeal of the glass, making it a delightful addition to any table setting.
