Alba 310ml Plimsoll White Wine Taster

Description

This professional tasting glass is built from Sparkx crystal, a lead-free material chosen specifically for its colour neutrality, so nothing about the glass interferes with how a wine actually looks. Wine tasting experts had a direct hand in developing it, and that shows in the tapered, egg-shaped bowl designed for controlled, vigorous swirling. The 150ml measure sits low on the bowl, with space for custom branding beneath it. Total capacity reaches 310ml.

Sparkx Crystal Material: Sparkx crystal is a high-tech, lead-free glass developed to deliver complete colour neutrality and outstanding optical brilliance, giving tasters an accurate read on a wine's exact hue and clarity. Its formulation was shaped through direct collaboration with sommeliers and tasting professionals, rather than adapted from standard glassware. The result is a material built with precision tasting as the primary goal.

Measure Line (150ml): A Plimsoll line is a calibrated pour line etched or printed onto glassware, marking an exact serve level, originally borrowed from the shipping industry where it indicated safe loading limits. On this glass, the single horizontal line sits at 150ml, helping staff serve a standard wine measure every time. It's a small detail that makes portion control effortless for busy venues.

Tasting Bowl Geometry: An egg-shaped, tapering bowl gives this glass room for confident, vigorous swirling without the risk of wine spilling over the edge. Above it, a narrow chimney-style rim holds aroma compounds within the headspace rather than letting them escape, directing scent efficiently towards the nose. Together, the shape supports a more accurate read on both the aroma and character of the wine.

Dishwasher Endurance: Testing confirms this glass can handle over 2,000 industrial dishwasher cycles before showing any signs of clouding or reduced brilliance. That kind of longevity matters for venues where glassware goes through wash cycles daily, cutting down on replacement costs over time. It's built to keep performing at a professional standard well beyond typical glassware lifespans.

Branding Options

There are three ways we can brand this glassware, and the right one depends on how it will be used and washed.

Pad Printing is our standard method and the pricing shown on this page. The logo is pad printed onto the glass and cured in a low fire oven. Pad printed glasses are hand wash only and not dishwasher safe.

Decal Printing is the upgrade for commercial use. The decal is fired in a high temperature kiln, which fuses it to the glass and makes it guaranteed dishwasher safe. It costs more than pad printing, so contact our sales team for a price.

Laser Etching is also priced on this page. The logo is etched into the surface for a permanent frosted finish that's dishwasher safe and will never fade.
