Material
Borosilicate glass is used for making Wineglobes. It is the purest, strongest, and most resilient type of glass allowing for the globes to be inert, smooth, impermeable, neutral, and unaltered over time. Glass is an eternal, noble, and long-lasting material that has a thermal conductivity similar to that of concrete, allowing for good temperature stability The transparency of glass allows lees sedimentation, wine turbidity, and malolactic fermentation to be observed and studied.
History
In 2010, Institute of Bordeaux graduate, consultant, company founder, and estate owner Michael Paetzold initiated research for new containers to be used at his winery in South West France. In 2014, especially with Burgundy domains including Meursault's Arnaud Ente, Paetzold started seriously looking into glass as an aging vessel since winemakers always loved the wines from their "demijannes".
Production
The Wineglobe came to be in 2015 and was tested through 2019 on a wide range of varietals. In 2020, the first Wineglobes were commercially sold. Today, over 500 customers are using Wineglobes in some of the most famous cellars in France and worldwide. Wineglobes are produced at an onsite custom state-of-the-art glass oven in Bordeaux where the quality of the craftsmanship is second to none. Unique about Wineglobes is how they are made from a single piece of glass and possess extremely winemaker-friendly accessories.
Porosity
The porosity on Wineglobes is 0% making them oxygen-proof however their shape allows for the wine to stay in constant motion, be dynamic, and be alive to avoid being reduced.
Winemaking & Styles of Wine
