Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Let us demystify glassware and help you find the best glassware for your professional, entertaining and gifting needs. At Sally Hillman, we are proud to offer Australia’s most comprehensive online range of luxurious crystal glassware from Lehmann Glass, direct from Reims, the heart of Champagne. Offering glassware for champagne, fine wine, sake, spirits, cocktails and more, Lehmann Glass are truly the French artisans of unforgettable tasting experiences and magical moments at the table. Find below a list of our most frequently asked questions about glassware and Lehmann Glass. If you have a query that isn’t answered here, please contact us.
Lehmann Glass
Globally recognised as ‘The Wine Lover’s Label’, Lehmann Glass was created by Gérard Lehmann, renowned glass designer, and Gérard Basset, sommelier extraordinaire. Together, they launched Lehmann Glass in 2012, uniting their expertise, passion and flair for innovation to craft a specialist glassware range dedicated to perfecting all tasting experiences and inspiring memorable moments. The French artisanal glassware brand is now synonymous with oenological excellence and is found all over the world; for instance, Lehmann Glass is the official glassware brand of many prestigious Champagne Houses, Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury Hotels.
Marrying French design and European production, the glassware are designed and developed in Reims at the Lehmann Glass headquarters in the heart of Champagne and produced within the European Union.
Lehmann Glass strives to visualise and emphasise the unique qualities and experiences of specialty drinks and cuvées of great winemakers, craft brewers and beverage experts. They achieve this through close collaboration with industry professionals and luminaries to craft their entire glassware range. These visionaries include sommeliers, cellarmasters, chefs and master glassmakers who all share Lehmann Glass’s core values of innovation and excellence in respect of environmental sustainability.
Lehmann Glass is also committed to seeking out new materials and techniques to create glassware that is truly one-of-a-kind. After two years of research and development, Lehmann Glass released its Ultralight glassware in 2021 to widespread acclaim. Adopting new technology, this range combines exceptional finesse with optimal lightness to deliver the highest of gastronomies for the world’s finest beverages. A revolutionary design that is as much high art as it is functional, the Ultralight range is now available in both handmade and machine-made options across the entire Lehmann Glass portfolio.
Lehmann glassware is made exclusively with lead-free crystal, a next-generation material that is environmentally friendly with unique qualities in brilliance and sound.
Production emphasises waste reduction and recovery, and packaging is FSC certified, sourced from forests that are sustainably and responsibly managed.
Working with master glassmakers chosen for their expertise and ethical standards, Lehmann Glass also works tirelessly with its in-house department to research new materials and develop innovative solutions for sustainable production.
The traditional art of glassblowing dates back to over 2000 years ago, and it remains a novel glass-forming technique that requires rigour, patience and expertise. Lehmann Glass strongly believes in protecting and preserving this tradition, which is upheld through their handmade (i.e., hand-blown; mouth-blown) glass collections.
By contrast, a manufacturing process is used to create machine-made glassware. This technique requires great mastery of cold cutting to create elegant and durable glassware that achieves the same finesse, brilliance and transparency of Lehmann’s handmade collections.
While handmade glassware tends to be the lightest in weight and thinnest in profile compared to machine-made glassware of the same size, a common thread throughout all Lehmann Glassware is their transparency, thinness and smooth finish.
In 2021, after two years of research and development, Lehmann Glass released its Ultralight glassware to widespread acclaim. The much-admired and sought-after Ultralight range brings together new technology, exceptional finesse and optimal lightness to deliver the highest of gastronomies and tasting experiences for the world’s finest beverages. A revolutionary design that is as much high art as it is functional, the Ultralight range is available in both handmade and machine-made options across the entire Lehmann Glass portfolio.
While Ultralight handmade glassware tends to be the lightest in weight and thinnest in profile compared to Ultralight machine-made glassware of the same size, a common thread throughout all Lehmann Glassware is their transparency, thinness and smooth finish.
We recommend selecting glassware that is handmade, Ultralight handmade or Ultralight machine-made. We always detail the production specifications for our Lehmann glassware in Le Shop. Please note that all Lehmann glasses are also dishwasher safe.

General Glassware Enquiries
A centilitre (cL) is a volumetric measure that is equal to one hundredth of a litre: 10 mL. For example, a glass that is specified as 45 cL would mean that the glass has a maximum capacity of 450 mL should you fill the glass all the way to the top.
Master glassmakers, sommeliers, wine professionals, students, enthusiasts and scientists alike have long supported the notion that glassware really does matter in unlocking the full potential of wine. The wider population is also coming to this realisation, as novel research has recently shown that our perception of flavour has less to do with our taste buds and more to do with our ability to smell. The glassware we choose for wine tasting must therefore enable us to detect aromas distinctly and precisely for the ultimate tasting pleasure.
To find out more about the art and science of glassware and wine tasting, we invite you to read Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of Sally Hillman’s Glassware Archives.
At Sally Hillman, we believe selecting glassware for your favourite drink should be fun and simple, which is why we admire Lehmann Glass for their accessibility and diversity. Rather than assigning a specific glass to a specific grape varietal, Lehmann Glass offers a navigable and demystified glassware range to suit a variety of wine styles. Each glass is painstakingly crafted to maximise tasting potential and respect aesthetic preferences—all you need to do is select the glass that works best for you.
When it comes to red wine, we recommend three styles of wine glasses to cater to three different styles of red wine. For white, orange and rosé wines, we recommend two styles of glassware.
For champagne, we recommend two primary styles of champagne glasses, with a suggested third style reserved for entertaining and hosting.
These different glassware styles are purposefully designed to reveal the distinctive aromas and characteristics of particular wine styles (e.g., wines with high alcohol content require more space for aeration to dissipate the harsh alcohol vapours so that the wine’s aromas can be identified, and champagnes require glassware that best preserves effervescence while allowing enough space for aromas to develop).
To find out more about our glassware recommendations for different styles of still wine and champagne, please jump to the next four sections of our FAQs, conveniently organised into universal glasses, champagne glasses and still wine glassware categories.
White wines, orange wines (skin-contact white wines) and rosé wines are generally served colder than red wines. This means that wine glasses for these styles of wine must be smaller than wine glasses for red wine as they are able to better maintain cool temperatures, preserving the wine’s crisp profile. Additionally, the stem of a white wine glass is typically longer than that of a red wine glass in order to prevent heat transfer from warm hands.
We welcome all enquiries by phone (+61 400 225 971) or by email (Enquiries@sallyhillman.com.au).
Universal Glasses
Universal glassware is classically shaped with a mid-size bowl and tapered lip to convey the complexities and nuances of all wine styles and varietals, including champagne. They are designed to suit all usages—robust and durable for hospitality and home entertaining, or light and balanced for special tasting experiences. Universal glassware is ideal for those who enjoy keeping minimal sets of glassware that offer value, versatility and high performance.
Lehmann Glass offers a wide range of universal glassware in both machine-made, handmade and Ultralight options. We always detail the production specifications for our Lehmann glassware in Le Shop.

Champagne Glasses
Effervescence is everything when it comes to champagne and champagne glasses. When bubbles percolate at the bottom of a glass, they create currents in the champagne and fire tiny droplets into the air when they burst at the wine’s surface. This aerosol of aromas is then lifted towards our nose when we sniff from the glass and take a sip, dramatically enhancing our flavour perception and sensory experience. Therefore, the gold standard for champagne glasses is the rounded tulip glass, shaped to maintain effervescence and provide adequate development of, and access to, the wine’s aromas.
While it is true that the flute’s elongated shape maximises the effect of the bubbles and aromas because they funnel through a larger volume of wine before bursting at the surface, the cylindrical shape and restrictive, narrow opening of the glass do not provide adequate development of, or access to, the wine’s aroma.
To read more about the magical—and often mythical—universe of champagne glasses, we invite you to read Part 3 of Sally Hillman’s Glassware Archives, ‘To Flute or Not to Flute? That is the Question for a Glass of Champagne’.
Think of the tulip not just as a flower but the only way to drink champagne!
The rounded, tulip-shaped glass was developed by Lehmann Glass and sommelier Philippe Jamesse in the early 2000s when they both saw a need for champagne glasses to more fully express what champagne has to offer. The result is the now-iconic tulip glassware of the Lehmann P. Jamesse Signature Collection, which is precisely shaped to enhance the effervescence and aroma of champagne. As the official champagne glasses used in the tasting rooms and cellars of many Champagne Houses, the Lehmann P. Jamesse tulip glasses are now the gold standard for champagne glasses worldwide.
To read more about the innovative sommelier who brought the quintessential champagne tulip glass into the hands of champagne connoisseurs and discerning consumers almost 15 years ago, we invite you to read Part 3 of Sally Hillman’s Glassware Archives.
The shape of the Lehmann P. Jamesse tulip glasses not only improves champagne tasting with the optimal release of its aromas but also improves the sight and sound of the bubbles, which are all integral to the magical champagne experience.
There are three key factors that make Lehmann P. Jamesse tulip glasses so special.
1. Their perfect shape:
Gérard Liger-Belair, a renowned physicist at the University of Reims who works extensively in the science of champagne, discovered that the spherical shape of Lehmann P. Jamesse glasses encourages the vertical movement of effervescence as bubbles carry aromas to the surface. These glasses allow each bubble to burst at the widest point of the ‘tulip’ to free its aromas, providing optimal space for aeration, which coaxes out the more nuanced notes, deftly captured by the tapered lip.
2. The precisely pointed base:
Gérard also discovered that microscopic fibres—deposited from the air or left after wiping with a kitchen towel—are the cause of bubble formation in the glass. These random, natural impurities provide nucleation sites for dissolved carbon dioxide molecules to gather and generate a chain of bubbles.
While some manufacturers force bubble formation by engraving the bottom of the glass to create an artificial nucleation site, the Ultralight handmade Lehmann P. Jamesse tulip glasses are able to successfully—and naturally—promote a controlled string of bubbles through the precise shaping of the base of the glass. A defining feature of the Ultralight Lehmann P. Jamesse glassware is their pointed base, perfectly pronounced to encourage a clear-cut and long-lasting effervescence while allowing the champagne freedom to produce a natural bead without any mechanical manipulation whatsoever.
3. Their clarity, thinness and smooth finish:
A common thread throughout all Lehmann glassware is their clarity, thinness and smooth finish—and the Lehmann P. Jamesse range is no exception. They each have the ability to engage and excite our senses, capturing the rhythmic sounds of the first pour, providing clean curves to caress, and allowing the light to refract to enhance and illuminate champagne’s signature sparkle and colourful gradients. A barely-there glass rim guides the wine’s seamless transition onto the palate, delivering both functionality and pleasure as it rests against the lip, ethereal and weightless.
At Sally Hillman, we are proud to offer the most comprehensive online range of Lehmann P. Jamesse tulip champagne glasses in Australia, and every Lehmann Glass order of a box of 6 includes a Sally Hillman microfibre polishing cloth with our compliments
Aged champagnes contain less carbon dioxide than younger champagnes, which means they have finer, slower and smaller bubbles. Smaller bubbles actually perform the worst in terms of aroma release; therefore, it is important to serve aged champagnes in wider, larger tulip-shaped glasses, taking care to pour gently to preserve the wine’s effervescence and aromas.
Champagne glasses should be filled halfway to the hip so that aromas can gradually release at the widest part of the ‘tulip’. The large, curvaceous bowl can then enhance aeration to develop the lighter aromas, collecting them at the tapered rim for our tasting pleasure.
If you’re looking for glassware to suit intense and complex champagnes (e.g., vintage champagnes; some champagne blends; full-flavoured Blanc de Noirs champagnes; and gastronomic champagne rosés), we invite you to explore our complete range of champagne glasses and universal glasses or start with a few of our recommendations below.

F. Sommier Psyché 58cl, Ultralight handmade
Compared to vintage, aged and complex champagnes (see previous question), non-vintage and younger champagnes will favour a tulip-shaped glass with a narrower body and smaller size. The relatively larger bubbles of these wines release more aromas, which means the mousse must always be maintained in these champagne styles. Smaller champagne glasses with precise depth and curvature ensure that the effervescence is not lost rapidly and that bubbles rise steadily to the surface for aromas to concentrate optimally.
If you’re looking for glassware to suit fresh and elegant champagnes (e.g., some non-vintage champagnes and champagne blends; citrus-driven Blanc de Blancs champagnes; and fruity champagne rosés), we invite you to explore our complete range of champagne glasses and universal glasses or start with a few of our recommendations below.

We recommend selecting robust glassware that is suitable for all champagne styles and celebrations.

Red Wine Glasses
As these wines tend to have high alcohol content, we recommend ‘Bordeaux’ style wine glasses. These styles of wine glasses have a broad bowl and wide opening, along with a deeper bowl that presents considerable distance between the surface of the wine and our nose. This style of glassware allows the wine’s harsh alcohol vapours to dissipate more effectively, giving us an opportunity to identify the wine’s aromas more distinctly when we sniff from the glass. A wider opening will also allow for a smooth, even delivery to the palate, which further contributes to the sensation of body.

We recommend ‘standard’ red wine glasses that have a slightly smaller bowl size and rim opening than ‘Bordeaux’ glasses (see previous question). A narrower opening permits a gradual flow of savoury and spicy flavours to the palate, which helps to soften the wine’s impact.

A. Lallement No 2 60cl, Ultralight handmade
The ethereal aromas of these wines are best conveyed in wine glasses that allow as much aeration as possible to develop the lighter aromas. This means the wine glasses must have a relatively fuller and wider bowl than both the ‘Bordeaux’ and ‘standard’ red wine glasses described in the previous questions. A wider bowl enhances aeration, allowing the wine’s aromas to collect at the inward sloping rim. The body of the glass should also be relatively shorter than both the ‘Bordeaux’ and ‘standard’ red wine glasses to allow for the detection of more subtle, fragrant aromas due to the nose’s proximity to the wine.

Bordeaux and Bordeaux-style red blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are complex, full-bodied and tannic wines that achieve their greatest potential in a tall, elegant wine glass with a wide, open bowl and gently tapered sides. This architecture allows an ample and precise swirl to release the fruity and more nuanced aromas while taming the tannins through increased contact with the air. We recommend enjoying your Bordeaux red blends in the A. Lallement No 1 77cl, Ultralight handmade wine glass, specially crafted to celebrate the complexity and richness of the world’s outstanding terroirs with the ceremony and savoir-faire befitting them.

Cabernet Sauvignon is an international grape variety that is naturally high in acidity and tannins and can be found in many different styles ranging from fresh and herbal to full-bodied with ripe black fruit. Choose a wine glass with a generous bowl that can unlock the bouquet and express the complexities and nuances of Cabernet Sauvignon, such as the P. Jamesse Synergie 75cl, Ultralight handmade wine glass. A favourite among Lehmann Glassware collectors, this is a universal glass of exceptional lightness and finesse that promises to enhance the experience of all wine styles and varietals (including champagne!).

GSM blends are abundant in aroma and rich with fruit and undertones of spice. They are well-structured, without strong tannins, and possess a warm, rounded finish. They tend to be high in alcohol; therefore, we recommend selecting a generously sized glass, such as the F. Sommier Dionysos 78cl, Ultralight handmade wine glass, to let the alcohol vapours dissipate and aerate the wine while emphasising the wine’s lifted aromatics and concentrated flavours.

As Spain’s most prized black grape variety, Tempranillo is used to produce many styles of wine—from simple and fruity to complex, powerful and age-worthy styles. Oak maturation is a common and traditional practice, and gives these wines a tannin structure that is often characterised as dry and dusty. We recommend allowing these wines to open up in a wine glass that allows plenty of surface area for aeration and for tannins to soften, such as the P. Jamesse Grand Rouge 70cl, Ultralight handmade wine glass, which has been specially designed to facilitate the flow and promote the balance of red wines.
Interested in more glassware options for Tempranillo? Browse our comprehensive Lehmann red wine glassware collection and Lehmann universal glassware collection to find the perfect wine glass for all your tasting needs and desires.
These wines require adequate contact with air to soften the tannins and develop the wine’s aromas and flavours. They will express themselves best in a wine glass with a broad bowl and narrowed opening that will aerate the wine, tame the tannins and retain aromas at the rim of the glass. With a shapely bowl and sensually tapered lip, the F. Sommier Dionysos 66cl, Ultralight machine-made wine glass is our top choice for these wine styles.
Interested in more glassware options for Carmenère and Malbec? Browse our comprehensive Lehmann red wine glassware collection and Lehmann universal glassware collection to find the perfect wine glass for all your tasting needs and desires.
An international grape variety, Syrah/Shiraz will benefit from a ‘standard’ red wine glass with a moderately sized bowl that will support its many expressions: from medium-bodied with flavours of fresh black fruit to full-bodied with flavours of cooked fruit and liquorice. Spicy notes are typically exhibited; therefore, a moderately sized glass with a smaller opening will direct a gradual flow of spice to the palate, which will temper the wine’s impact and instead focus the fruit. We recommend a mid-size wine glass, such as the universal P. Jamesse Synergie 60cl, Ultralight handmade wine glass.
Interested in more glassware options for Syrah/Shiraz? Browse our comprehensive Lehmann red wine glassware collection and Lehmann universal glassware collection to find the perfect wine glass for all your tasting needs and desires.
Merlot is a versatile grape variety that produces wines that range from mellow and medium-bodied to bold and full-bodied. We recommend selecting the P. Jamesse Synergie 52cl, machine-made wine glass, a universal wine glass with a balanced, mid-size bowl—which ensures the wine has enough exposure to air—and a narrowed mouth, to capture and highlight the myriad aromas and flavours of all Merlot.
Interested in more glassware options for Merlot? Browse our comprehensive Lehmann red wine glassware collection and Lehmann universal glassware collection to find the perfect wine glass for all your tasting needs and desires.
Grenache crafts friendly, fragrant wines with low to medium tannins, plush red fruit and spiced top notes. They can be relatively high in alcohol. We recommend enjoying Grenache from the universal F. Sommier Psyché 58cl, Ultralight handmade wine glass, a classically designed wine glass that accentuates the wine’s supple texture and softer character while giving the wine room to breathe in a fuller-shaped bowl.

Sangiovese finds its home in Italy, where it is most revered in the red wines of Chianti in central Tuscany. Notes of red fruit and dried herbs are typical of Sangiovese, as well as high acidity and high, rustic tannins. The A. Lallement No 2 60cl, Ultralight handmade wine glass is the perfect wine glass for enjoying the spectrum of aromas and flavours of Sangiovese. Its elegant shape helps to relax the tannins while the tapered opening permits a gradual flow to the palate to soften acidity.

Locally known as Primitivo in Italy and Zinfandel in California, this grape is used to craft mouth-filling red wines with firm tannins and plenty of juicy, jammy fruit character. The F. Sommier Psyché 56cl, Ultralight machine-made wine glass is a universal wine glass with a classic design and narrowed rim that delivers an even sip to the palate to balance the natural sweetness of the wine’s residual sugar.
Interested in more glassware options for Zinfandel? Browse our comprehensive Lehmann red wine glassware collection and Lehmann universal glassware collection to find the perfect wine glass for all your tasting needs and desires.
A prized grape variety that finds its fame and fortune in the red wines of Burgundy, Pinot noir produces elegant wines with high acidity and low to medium tannins with delicate red fruit and savoury earthy flavours. Pinot noir benefits most from wine glasses that support and enhance its lighter, ethereal aromas. Select a wine glass with a full and opulent bowl, such as the G. Basset Hommage 72cl, Ultralight machine-made wine glass, capable of coaxing out the gentle aromas and capturing them as they rise towards the tapered lip, while conveying the beautiful pale ruby-red colours of Pinot noir with each swirl.

Gamay is the crown jewel of Beaujolais, offering approachable and fruit-forward wines with low to medium tannins. Depending on the producer’s winemaking choices and desired style, there may be pleasant aromas and flavours of candy and banana. The best of the Beaujolais wines tend to be complex, well-structured and age-worthy. We recommend enjoying Gamay in the P. Jamesse Synergie 75cl, Ultralight handmade wine glass—an opulent tulip-shaped glass with a full, wide bowl that maximises the perception of fresh fruit and subtler aromas.
Interested in more glassware options for Gamay? Browse our comprehensive Lehmann red wine glassware collection and Lehmann universal glassware collection to find the perfect wine glass for all your tasting needs and desires.
A full-bodied red wine glass is perfect for Nebbiolo, which is typically crafted into full-bodied red wines that are powerful and rich with high levels of grippy tannins—most notably in the wines of Barolo in the Piedmont region of Italy. Elegantly perfumed with a translucent garnet hue, Nebbiolo prefers generously sized glassware that encourage aroma development and highlight its unique colour while giving plenty of room for tannins to interact with the air and soften. We recommend hosting your favourite Nebbiolo in the lavishly crafted F. Sommier Ariane 88cl, Ultralight handmade wine glass, perfect for amplifying every aromatic nuance for your sensory and cerebral pleasure.

Pinotage is the signature grape variety of South Africa. It has a kinship with Pinot noir, offering similar red-fruit flavours; however, it tends to produce bolder, more rustic red wines. We recommend enjoying Pinotage in the F. Sommier Ariane 72cl, Ultralight machine-made wine glass, which allows for optimal flavour development and showcases the wine’s fruitiness while preserving its structure.

White, Orange & Rosé Wine Glasses
As these wines tend to have a higher alcohol content than light- to medium-bodied wines, the ideal glass should have a large bowl and wide rim to effectively dissipate any harsh alcohol vapours. A wider opening will also allow for a smooth, even delivery to the palate, which further contributes to the sensation of body.

Stemless Glassware & Tumblers
Not necessarily; it comes down to preference. However, we do believe that beverages that require colder serving temperatures (such as dessert wines, champagnes, white wines and some red wines) benefit from a stemmed glass because the tall stem allows the glass to be held further from the bowl, preventing heat transfer from warm hands. This is also why you’ll find that the stem of a white wine glass and champagne glassware is often longer than that of red wine glasses, which are often served at room temperature.
Please follow the links below to discover Lehmann’s range of stemless glassware and tumblers. They are also suitable as stemless wine glasses.
A. Lallement No 7 36cl, Ultralight handmade: a versatile tumbler that displays both water, soft drinks and aperitif cocktails, such as a Gin & Tonic or Negroni, with great sophistication
Excellence 39cl, machine-made: a tumbler for everyday use, ideal for serving water, soft drinks, spirits (served neat, on the rocks or with a mixer) and cocktails.

Glassware Care
To ensure that your premium Lehmann glassware is in the perfect condition to allow you to fully enjoy your next drink, we recommend the following glassware care:
- Gently wash glassware by hand, without detergent, and rinse thoroughly under warm water so that they are residue- and stain-free
- Air-dry glassware upside down on a linen tea towel and gently polish them when mostly dry. If they are completely dry, a small amount of steam on the glass can provide friction to help with polishing
- When polishing, be careful not to twist the glass against the stem, as this can cause breakages.
When polishing, use Sally Hillman’s microfibre polishing cloth: a luxurious and specialised accessory boasting a generous size to buff and boost brilliance for that final touch of stemware sophistication. Lint-free, scratch-free, odour-free and easy to clean, Sally Hillman’s signature polishing cloth is complimentary with every Lehmann Glass order on a set of 6 glasses.
We recommend avoiding fabric softener to clean your polishing cloths because synthetic fragrances and residue may be left on the cloth, which can then transfer to the glass.
If you are not cleaning your glassware right away, put a bit of water in the glass so that stains do not become hard to clean later.
Yes, all Lehmann glassware is dishwasher safe.
- We recommend selecting a glass program and ensuring that the load is only glassware
- Use only minimal detergent to avoid leaving residue, as this can interfere with beading in champagne and can also taint the flavour.
