A set of 2 gorgeous bistro-style wine glasses made in Milan and exclusively available at East Fork.

Our Co-Founder & CEO, Connie Matisse, worked with Milan-based glassmaker, R + D, to bring you a chic, summery, bistro-style wine glass set you can only find here—an East Fork exclusive!

The artisans at Milan-based R + D Lab use borosilicate glass made by the company that invented it in 1893. Using beautiful, durable borosilicate glass leaves a low carbon footprint—it’s made from naturally abundant materials that do not require excessive mining. If handled with care, borosilicate glass will last a lifetime, which is fitting for glassware that is this timeless.

David Y. ★★★★★

The weight of these feels substantial without being clunky, and they've held up fine through several dishwasher cycles. The thin rim makes a cheap red taste better than it has any right to.

Hannah F. ★★★★★

These have become my default pour for reds — the bowl is wide enough that the wine actually opens up instead of tasting tight. The bistro shape feels a little retro but in a good way, and they've survived a few clumsy hand washes already.

Grace ★★★★★

The Milan-made glass has a slightly uneven, hand-blown feel that I actually love — no two sips look the same in the light. They're lighter than my old bistro glasses but somehow feel sturdier on the table.
