SENSISPLUS: A quantum leap in wine enjoyment

Fine-tuning for already beverage-specific designed glasses

The realisation that the shape and volume of a glass have a significant influence on the perception of taste has been the foundation of wine glass production for decades and has long been a matter of course for wine enthusiasts. The SENSISPLUS feature, however, sets standards that go far beyond traditional design principles and turn the enjoyment of wine into an unrivalled experience:
  • perfects already beverage-specific moulded glasses
  • brings out the full flavour of a freshly opened wine or other opened wine or other beverage brings out its full complexity to its best advantage
  • makes tannins more accessible and creates flavour profiles with their finest nuances
  • intensifies the enjoyment of wine to an unprecedented level
The production method of the SENSISPLUS glasses is a Eisch trade secret - but this much can be said: the glasses get their SENSISPLUS feature without the use of chemicals.   Tip: Taste in the SENSISPLUS glasses also Whisky, Coffeespirits, fruit juices and other drinks. Taste the difference!

"Eisch sent me samples of SENSISPLUS and non-SENSISPLUS glasses in two different styles. I couldn't see any difference when I closely examined both pairs and was somewhat sceptical when I put them to the test with a full-bodied red wine. The wine in the SENSISPLUS glass lived up to their claim. Within a few minutes it was significantly softer and mellower than the wine in the non-SENSISPLUS glass."

The development of SENSISPLUS Glasses

The idea

In recent years and decades, the development of wine glasses has focussed primarily on finding the goblet shape that best showcases a particular wine. Considerable success has been achieved, so that wine connoisseurs now have a variety of different goblet shapes and sizes at their disposal for enjoying fine wines.

However, this approach is increasingly reaching its limits, as an ever-increasing differentiation of glasses beyond the grape varieties (e.g. by growing region or vintage) appears to be technically feasible, but hardly practical for the individual consumer. At Eisch, therefore, the question of how the so-called "optimally" shaped wine glass could be further developed was already being considered at the end of the 1990s.

The glass

The results of this development work are the SENSISPLUS glasses, the pleasure class of Glashütte Eisch. They combine the experience and innovative strength of Glashütte Eisch to create a unique interpretation of the highest level of wine enjoyment and reveal the full flavour potential of wine. The original character of the wine and its structure are retained. Eisch produces the glasses not only for wine, but also for spirits, fruit juices, espresso and more.

Can other manufacturers also offer SENSISPLUS glass?

No. The glasses were made by EISH developed and only EISH can produce them. SENSISPLUS glass is protected as a trade mark.

 

What does SENSIS mean?PLUS?

SENSISPLUS glasses unlock the full flavour potential of wine. The original character of the wine and its structure are retained. With SENSISPLUS you will experience impressive moments of pleasure.

 

How are the glasses of the SENSISPLUS - series produced?

UNITYThe elegantly light glasses are hand-blown to perfection by master glassmakers from brilliant crystal glass. SKYThe glasses are of thin-walled quality and are made of high-quality, brilliant crystal glass using the latest technology in Germany. They are highly break-resistant thanks to the drawn stem technique. SUPERIORThe glasses are made from high-quality crystal glass using state-of-the-art technology. The drawn stems also ensure a high level of break resistance.

 

Is the SENSISPLUS glass of wine changed?

No. The wine is not changed. Its character is preserved.

What Ronn Wiegand says about SENSISPLUS Glasses?

Ronn Wiegand was the first wine expert to test the glasses. He summarised the results in a letter. In it he says, among other things, that he was sceptical at first and that he then tasted around 30 wines in the glasses. He was impressed by the SENSISPLUS glasses and congratulates the glassworks EISH a truly successful contribution to the enjoyment of wine.

 

Who is Robert Parker?

What should you look out for if you want to carry out a comparison test with the SENSISPLUS glasses?

For comparison with the SENSISPLUS glass a glass that is as similar as possible in shape, size and contents. Make sure that both glasses are rinsed in the same way. Use a freshly opened bottle for the test. Pour the same amount of wine into both glasses and wait a few minutes. Now taste the wine in the SENSISPLUS glass and then compare it with the wine in the standard glass.

No. EISH manufactures SENSISPLUS glasses not only for wine, but also for spirits, fruit juices, mineral water, etc.

Is the Decanter now superfluous?

No. If you have enough time, you will continue to pour the wine into the decanter because it is a nice ritual. A decanter is also an eye-catcher on the table. Decanters are also used to separate sediment from older wines.

 

How must a SENSISPLUS glass be maintained?

The glass retains its properties permanently. It should be treated like any other high-quality crystal glass. No special care instructions need to be followed.
