Vinoteque stemware is machine blown in Parma, Italy and made in Luigi Bormioli's proprietary SON.hyx material. SON.hyx produced glassware is an exciting fusion of elegance and technology. Glassware made in SON.hyx is extremely brilliant in color, has a beautiful sound, and maintains clarity after thousands of industrial dishwashing cycles. These glasses have been designed as a result of scientific studies, to maximize the olfactory and taste perception of wines. The Vinoteque glasses were tested by ''Centro Studi Assaggiatori'' using the Advanced Big Sensory Test and the Analogic-Affective Big Sensory Test.
