Hosting is an Art — Glassware is the Medium
Every host knows: the right glass makes the drink. It’s not just about function; it’s about presence. Bold silhouettes, striking clarity, and the perfect shape for every pour — that’s what takes your table from expected to unforgettable.
Our Sidney Collection was created for modern hosts who want every moment — from the first cocktail to the last toast — to feel elevated. Designed in Brooklyn and crafted from European crystal, Sidney brings edge, modernity, and versatility to the table.
European Crystal Wine Glasses: Red, White & Burgundy
No two wines are alike — neither are the glasses that hold them. Hosting with the right wine glass isn’t about tradition, it’s about unlocking flavor, aroma, and experience.
Red Wine Glasses
Bold reds meet their match. Sidney's wide bowl encourages aeration, allowing tannins to soften and flavors to expand, while the tapered lip releases aromas with precision. The narrower rim delivers a smoother first sip, balancing intensity with refinement. Finished with a stable rounded foot, this glass turns a simple pour into a statement.
White Wine Glasses
A white wine glass is all about clarity and freshness. Its streamlined bowl minimizes aeration, preserving crisp citrus and floral notes. The straight silhouette directs cool, clean flavors directly to the palate, while the balanced foot keeps it poised at the table. Perfect for Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, or any white that shines brightest when served sharp and refreshing.
Burgundy Glasses
A Burgundy glass is designed to unlock the nuance in delicate reds. Its wide, rounded bowl maximizes aeration, giving Pinot Noir or Gamay room to breathe, while the tapered lip channels aromas straight to the nose. The rounded foot provides stability, but it’s the shape itself — open, generous, and dramatic — that makes every sip feel layered and expressive.
Modern Stemless Wine Glasses
For settings where formality fades but style stays sharp, stemless wine glasses carry the mood. Casual doesn’t have to mean simple — and Sidney’s stemless designs prove it.
A solid base keeps each pour steady, while the curved bowl encourages gentle swirling to release aroma and flavor. The stemless silhouette feels modern and versatile, moving easily from casual reds to crisp whites.
Cocktail Hour: Highball & Double Old Fashioned
Every cocktail demands the right stage, because after all, the glass shapes the drink.
Highball
For drinks that live tall. A solid base keeps the glass steady, while its upright, tapered sides help bubbles linger longer in spritzes and sodas. The silhouette stacks ingredients into clean layers, creating cocktails that look as sharp as they taste. Perfect for modern hosting, it turns simple mixed drinks into something striking.
Double Old Fashioned
Grounded, weighted, built for spirits that carry depth. The narrowed rim draws aromas upward and softens each sip, while the broad base easily accommodates most ice cubes. In hand, the weight feels deliberate — giving liquors like a scotch or whisky on the rocks the gravitas they deserve.
European Crystal Champagne Flutes: Stemmed & Stemless
When the bubbles start flowing, the glass should match the occasion.
Stemmed Flutes
A classic redefined. The slender stem keeps warmth away, while the narrow bowl locks in bubbles and intensifies aroma. The deep body transforms effervescence into a showpiece of rising streams, and the rounded foot anchors every toast. Iconic in shape but designed with intention, it’s champagne at its sharpest.
Stemless Flutes
Sleek and striking — made for celebrations that don’t follow the rules. Stemless champagne flutes preserve bubbles and direct aromas with their narrow bowl. The deep body beautifully displays rising effervescence, while the stemless shape adds a relaxed, contemporary edge. It’s champagne without pretense — stylish, effortless, and always ready to toast.
Modern Coupe Glassware: Vintage Meets Modern
Hosting with coupes makes a statement. Their vintage shape carries old-school glamour, but with Sidney, they become modern, daring, and versatile.
Stemmed Coupes
Channel vintage allure through a modern lens. A shallow bowl cradles cocktails beautifully, setting the stage for garnishes or a champagne pour with flair. The wide rim supports foamy tops and layered textures, while the rounded foot adds poise and stability. It’s a glass that makes every cocktail look dressed for the occasion.
Stemless Coupes
A bold, unexpected twist that turns heads at any table. Its thick base anchors the glass, while the shallow bowl frames cocktails and garnishes like they were made for the spotlight. Designed to rest perfectly in the palm, it’s low-profile, modern, and unapologetically chic — the kind of glass that starts conversations before the first sip.
