Balloon — La Rochère

The Ballon collection brings together a selection of balloon-shaped wine glasses — wide, rounded bowls — offered on AZ boutique by both La Rochère and Cosy & Trendy. A classic tasting shape, available in several sizes.

What makes the Ballon collection distinctive

The balloon glass owes its name to its wide, rounded bowl, which exposes a large surface for wine oxygenation while concentrating aromas towards the rim. It is a versatile shape, suited to soft red wines as well as to aromatic whites.

• Stemmed clear glass, balloon shape
• Several sizes: 14 cl, 19 cl, 25 cl
• Available in sets of 6 or 12 depending on the reference

Choosing within the Ballon collection

Why is the balloon shape used for wine?

The wide bowl favours wine aeration and helps reveal its aromas. The narrower rim then concentrates the scents at the moment of tasting. It is a versatile shape that suits many wine styles.

Which size should I choose for which use?

The 14 cl suits bistrot-style by-the-glass service or sweet wines. The 19 cl is the everyday versatile size. The 25 cl, more generous, suits structured red wines and a more in-depth tasting.

What is the difference between the La Rochère and Cosy & Trendy glasses in this collection?

On AZ boutique, the Ballon collection groups several sources: La Rochère for the 14 cl version, in glass made in Passavant-la-Rochère since the 15th century, and Cosy & Trendy for the 19 cl and 25 cl formats in sets of 12.

Are Ballon glasses dishwasher-safe?

Yes, glasses in the Ballon collection are dishwasher-safe. To preserve their brilliance and limit marks, opt for a moderate cycle with a suitable rinse aid.
