In the world of fine sparkling wine, every detail matters – from the vineyard’s terroir to the vintage, the minute details that stem from méthode traditionnelle practices and the vessel that delivers the first effervescent sip. For connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts alike, the shape of the glass is not mere aesthetics; it is a silent conductor of aroma, texture, and taste. A well-designed glass doesn’t just hold wine – it reveals it.

Luigi Bormioli Australia, the storied Italian glassmaker with roots tracing back to 14th-century Parma, understands this truth intimately. For over 25 generations, the Bormioli family have fused heritage craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation to create glassware that doesn’t merely serve wine, but also enhances its very soul. Today, their reputation as global leaders in artisanal, lead-free crystal is built on a legacy of precision, beauty, and unwavering quality, epitomised in their thoughtfully engineered sparkling wine glasses.

"Australians have always had an uncommon thirst for sparkling wine," says Max Allen, and few would argue with that proposition, especially with festive season just around the corner. Fresh from being crowned Australian Wine Communicator of the Year – a feat worth celebrating in and of itself – Max takes Selector readers on a journey through the evolution of Australian sparkling.

From the streets of 19th century Port Phillip being "thickly strewed with champagne bottles" to the increasing sophistication that took root in local sparkling production from the 1980s through to today, with the likes of Ed Carr being crowned Sparkling Winemaker of the Year in 2024 at the International Wine Challenge in London, it's a scintillating story of the rise and rise of premium Australian sparkling.
