The collection consists of specific glasses for Shiraz/Syrah, Cabernet/Merlot, Pinot Noir/Nebbiolo, Zinfandel, Riesling, Viognier/Chardonnay, Chardonnay, and Champagne.

For fluffy, evenly sized cheese shreds, this is the perfect grater. The cutters are especially sharp, which guarantees easy grating. But this also means you’ll need to exercise extra caution–no one likes grated knuckles. For ease in resting the grater on the counter while in use, there’s a hard acrylic frame around the metal. The frame also prevents scratches to your countertop. The large handle allows for a firm grip, and the slightly curved grating surface makes it easy to use with oddly shaped chunks of chocolate. Carrots, onions, and medium to firm cheeses all worked beautifully with this grater. It’s also an excellent choice for larger strips of citrus zest or… More >>
