J-Line Kyle

First decide whether you want a single color or a mix. A table with only amber glasses looks warm and calm; adding mint and transparent glasses creates a more relaxed feel and helps guests find their own glass again. Since all three versions have the same shape and the same 26 cl capacity, they stand at the same height next to one another, so a mix doesn't look out of place. For a table of six, count on at least eight glasses, because a water glass is often removed twice during each meal. If you want the same color scheme in other sizes, take a look at the colored glasses.

Pour water to about two-thirds full; this keeps the glass stable and lets you hold it at the top without reaching into the drink. For soft drinks, fill it with ice first and then add the liquid; otherwise, the foam will spill over the rim. The size also works well for non-alcoholic serves with plenty of ice and fruit; the page with mocktails lists combinations that fit well in it. If you pour a jug of sangria around, the three colors end up mixed together on the table.

Kyle is machine-pressed soda-lime glass, not crystal. That makes the glass a little heavier and less sensitive to a knock against the tap or another glass. The colour is in the glass mass rather than in a layer on the outside, so it does not wash off and does not fade in the dishwasher. Place the glasses apart in the rack without letting them lean against each other, because rim damage almost always comes from contact during the cycle.

Looking for the same style in a wine glass size or a larger version? You can find the other collections together on the brand page for J-Line. For the complete overview of this category, see the water glasses, while those looking for something sturdier for everyday use should check out the tumblers. If you need more height because you add a lot of ice, you'll find that in the highball glasses.
