IKEA offers a wide range of wine glasses in different shapes to suit the tastes of red, white and champagne drinkers. IKEA’s collection of wine glasses is beautifully crafted by wine and reasonably priced, starting at $2.99.
But are IKEA wine glasses any good? Read on to find out more, including whether IKEA also sells crystal wine glasses!
Are IKEA wine glasses any good?
IKEA wine glasses are widely praised for their durability and high-quality materials.
Their wine glasses are designed for general drinking and specific types of wine so they can be enjoyed the way they were produced.
For example, IKEA offers STORSINT wine glasses, which are specially designed to help red wine develop aromas and flavors once it leaves the bottle.
Sturdy and stylish, these glasses are perfect for small parties.
Are IKEA wine glasses dishwasher safe?
Yes, IKEA states on their wine glasses homepage that all wine and champagne flutes are dishwasher safe and will not break in the dishwasher.
If you find an IKEA wine glass broken in the dishwasher, you can take the broken product to the IKEA Help Desk and discuss the return with an available employee.
What wine glasses does IKEA sell?
If you have a dinner party coming up, or even want to serve wine glasses for a big party event, IKEA sells a wide range of wine glasses in different shapes to suit any type of occasion.
For red wine in particular, IKEA has the DYRGRIP and STORSINT ranges, which allow the wine to mellow and breathe before being enjoyed.
For mulled or mulled wine in the cooler seasons, you can opt for a stemless wine glass like the IVRIG collection.
DYRGRIP also has white wine glasses, and champagne glasses include STORHET, STORSINT, SÄLLSKAPLIG, and SVALKA.
Are IKEA wine glasses lead-free?
Yes, IKEA began phasing out the production of leaded crystal glass in 1994 because it contained a highly toxic heavy metal known as lead.
However, if you are still concerned about lead in glassware, you can request more information online or at an IKEA customer service desk.
Are IKEA wine glasses crystal?
IKEA sells glasses that are not made of crystal, but IKEA sells hand-blown or machine-blown glass. These glasses do not contain lead crystals and are completely lead free.
The KONUNGSLIG line of glasses claims that each glass is hand-blown by skilled artisans, so despite being supplied as a set, each glass is unique.
Does IKEA sell other glassware?
Yes, IKEA sells many different types of glassware, including drinking glasses for alcoholic and regular non-alcoholic beverages.
In their specialty glasses section, they sell a wide range of cocktail glasses such as STORSINT martini glasses, IKEA 365+ stemware and LODRÄT beer glasses.
Other glassware includes jugs, glasses, and carafes.
What is the use of a stemless wine glass?
When you pour wine into a regular wine glass, the shape of the glass allows it to breathe, but the stem allows you to keep the wine cool and crisp.
By removing the stem, you can add the heat of your hand to the wine and warm it up.
But if you’re drinking casually or warming up with some mulled wine, stemless wine glasses are perfect.
It keeps your hands warm and you don’t have to worry about your wine getting too hot.
