'Lenox,' the tabletop, giftware, and home entertaining product company, has announced the 'Signature Series Glasses' collaboration with Victoria James. Victoria James is the youngest professional sommelier in the United States at only 21 years old. Through this collaboration, James and Lenox will launch an exclusive collection of stemware.
Each item in the Signature Series Glasses collection was developed to perfectly suit a different climatic region. Due to this, wine enthusiasts and aspiring sommeliers can match their glasses to the wine they are drinking, resulting in the most accurate wine tasting experience possible. Many factors were considered in the development of each stemware item. Some of these factors include bowl width, stem height, the thickness of the glass, and the aromatics or flavor of the intended wine pairing.
