It was the blades of the wind turbines, which swirl with conviction over the heights of the Montagne noire, that gave Arnaud Barrate his revolutionary idea of tasting glasses. This specialist in the art of the table, who made his mark in the former Arques crystal factory and attended the Bordeaux School of Oenology, has indeed reproduced the movement of the propellers of these strange birds in a container that awakens the aromas of the liquid. Helicon lenses have three small tapered edges, one to two millimetres thick, on their lower and inner sides. An almost harmless relief that works like an aroma accelerator when you twirl the glass. The potential of wines or whiskies is then revealed more quickly than in a conventional container. A major innovation for all lovers of good vintages. Arnaud Barrate, passionate about glass design, has also taken care of the look and style of his creations. Helicium glasses, which are available in wine, spirits and sparkling alcohol versions - champagne type - are both simple and elegant.
