About Copia
About The ONE
THE ONE™ stemware, which Robinson developed after years of analyzing wine glasses, features two stems that optimize all wines. “After discovering the best design attributes that enhance any wine’s bouquet, I realized that you only need one shape to unleash all that the wine has to offer. THE ONE has crystal clarity, a thin rim, and a precision shape and size that out-perform a cabinet full of grape-specific stems,” Robinson explains. “In addition, as a sommelier and a mother of three, I was determined to make THE ONE glasses practical. They are break-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and lead free” she adds. They can be purchased at here.
