Choosing the right carafe or pitcher

Water carafe or wine carafe: what is the difference?

The water carafe favours a generous volume and easy handling for dining-room service. The wine carafe, wider at the base, promotes aeration and decanting. For young wine, a large exchange surface helps open up the aromas; for simple service, a small carafe is enough.

Which capacity for restaurant service?

The 25 and 50 cl formats suit individual service or small tables, while capacities of 1 litre and above meet collective service needs. Graduated models make it easier to respect portions and manage consumption.

Tempered glass, stackability and care

For intensive use, tempered glass limits breakage. Favour stable and, where possible, stackable shapes to optimise storage. Check the dishwasher compatibility stated on each product sheet before purchasing.
