The 'Spirale' glasses work by incorporating a one-inch spiral into the bottom of the glass that works to allow the sediment to settle and stay there until you've finished your glass. The 'Spirale' wine glasses help to instantly enhance the taste of your wine by ensuring that wine sediment that might be present doesn't continue to float around in your wine after it has begun to settle.
