Wine isn’t just about alcohol, it’s about aroma, flavor, texture, and experience. Our non-alcoholic wines are crafted to preserve the varietal character, balance, and aromatics of classic wines. The right stemware enhances those elements in three important ways:

1. Aroma Concentration

The shape of a wine glass directs aromas toward your nose. Since much of what we perceive as “flavor” is actually aroma, this step is essential — alcohol or not. A properly shaped bowl captures delicate notes in Chardonnay and intensifies the dark fruit and spice aromas in Cabernet Sauvignon.

2. Temperature Control

Stemmed glasses allow you to hold the glass without warming the wine with your hands. Our non-alcoholic Chardonnay is best enjoyed chilled, while our non-alcoholic Cabernet Sauvignon shows beautifully just below room temperature. Proper stemware helps maintain that ideal serving temperature.

3. Flavor Perception

The width of the bowl and the taper of the rim influence how wine flows onto your palate. This affects how you perceive acidity, fruit, and structure. A glass designed for the varietal helps highlight balance and complexity — even in non-alcoholic wine.

Wine is sensory. Glassware is part of the design.

The Best Glass for Non-Alcoholic Chardonnay

Our non-alcoholic Chardonnay shines in a medium-sized bowl with a slightly tapered rim.

Why it works:

• Preserves delicate citrus, orchard fruit, and subtle oak notes

• Maintains cooler temperature

• Focuses aromas toward the nose

• Enhances freshness and balance

Avoid oversized bowls for Chardonnay — they can allow aromas to dissipate too quickly and warm the wine faster than ideal.

The Best Glass for Non-Alcoholic Cabernet Sauvignon

Our non-alcoholic Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from a larger, taller bowl — often referred to as a Bordeaux glass.

Why it works:

• Allows the wine to breathe

• Softens structure and highlights fruit

• Amplifies dark berry, cocoa, and spice aromas

• Directs wine toward the center of the palate

Even without alcohol, Cabernet retains structure and complexity. A larger bowl enhances dimension and depth.

The Ritual Matters

Choosing the right glass elevates the entire experience:

• The sound of the pour

• The way light reflects through the bowl

• The swirl that releases aroma

• The intentional first sip

At Isabel By Isabel Mondavi, our non-alcoholic Chardonnay and non-alcoholic Cabernet Sauvignon are made to be savored — not rushed. Using proper stemware honors the craftsmanship behind every bottle and transforms everyday moments into something celebratory.

Because wine is never just about alcohol.

It’s about presence.
It’s about flavor.
It’s about connection.

And the right glass makes all the difference.
