Smell what you’ve been missing.
Most of what you taste in wine, you actually smell. The Notch is a cut in the rim that brings your nose into the bouquet and lets you sip without tilting your head back.
One cut in the rim. A different glass of wine.
Up to 80% of wine’s character reaches you through smell [CITE SOURCE]. A standard rim keeps your nose above the glass. The Notch lets it in.
Swirl
The tulip bowl lifts the bouquet and holds it near the rim.
Nose in
The Notch clears space so your nose sits inside the aroma, not above it.
Sip level
Smell and taste together with no head tilt, from the first pour to the last.

Old-world glassmaking, one new idea.
Every glass is handcrafted from Bohemian crystal in the Czech Republic, a glassmaking tradition measured in centuries. We added one idea to it: a rim that works with your nose, not against it.
