The Perfect Glass to Welcome Your Guests

Set a sophisticated tone from the moment your guests arrive. Our 6.5 oz Tall Wine Glass is the ideal choice for serving welcome drinks and pre-dinner aperitifs at your upscale event in the GTA. Its elegant, tall stem and smaller bowl provide a touch of class and are perfectly suited for the lighter pours of a welcome reception or cocktail hour.

Elegant Design for a Great First Impression

Rented by the dozen, this glass is chosen to add a touch of formality to the start of your event.

• Perfect Aperitif Size: The 6.5 oz capacity is ideal for a modest welcome pour of a crisp white wine or a classic aperitif, encouraging guests to mingle without being weighed down.
• Elegant Tall Stem: The elevated design looks sophisticated and keeps the drink perfectly chilled as guests network and socialize.
• Classic All-Purpose Bowl: While smaller, the classic bowl shape is still excellent for appreciating the aromas of a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or a light Rosé.
• Sets a Formal Tone: Using proper glassware for welcome drinks signals a high level of attention to detail for the event to come.

Ideal for Receptions and Pre-Dinner Service

This glass is the perfect solution for the start of any formal or semi-formal gathering.

• Wedding Receptions: Greet your guests with a welcome glass of wine as they arrive at the reception venue.
• Corporate & Gallery Openings: The perfect, easy-to-handle glass for guests who are standing, networking, and viewing exhibits. Pair them with our stylish Cocktail Tables to give guests a place to rest their drinks.
• Pre-Dinner Aperitifs: The classic and correct way to serve pre-meal drinks like Lillet Blanc or a dry white wine to stimulate the palate.

While this glass is perfect for starting an event, for the main dinner service we recommend our larger wine glasses. For after dinner, consider our specialty 6.5 oz Dessert Wine Glasses. Contact Meadowvale Party Rentals for a complete glassware consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is an "aperitif" and why use a special glass?

A: An aperitif is a drink served before a meal to stimulate the appetite. Serving it in a smaller, dedicated glass like this one is a classic sign of a formal, well-planned service that distinguishes it from the main dinner wines.

Q: Is this glass too small for a regular wine serving?

A: For a standard 5 oz pour that a guest will have at a dinner table, this glass would be quite full. It is specifically intended for smaller welcome or tasting pours of 2-4 ounces. For table service, we recommend our 9 oz or larger wine glasses.

Q: What wines are best to serve in this as a welcome drink?

A: Crisp, refreshing, unoaked white wines are always an excellent choice. Think Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Albariño, or a dry Rosé. Their bright, aromatic qualities are perfect for waking up the palate.
