Aequilibrium Glasses by Audacem: Hand-Blown Crystal Glasses

If you searched for Aequilibrium Glasses, you're in the right place. What is Aequilibrium Glass? These are the signature, hand-blown crystal glasses manufactered by Audacem that are making waves across the wine and spirits world. Known also as Audacem Aequilibrium Glasses or simply Audacem Glasses, they are designed to transform the way we taste, gift, and experience premium drinks. Whether you’ve seen them swirling on a table or read about their kinetic base design, this article breaks down everything you need to know.

Aequilibrium Glasses: The Art of Motion in Glassware

When it comes to the sensory experience of wine and spirits, choosing a glass matters more than most assume. At Audacem, our Aequilibrium collection brings design and purpose together in a set of three hand-blown lead free crystal glasses, designed not just to be visually appealing, but to enhance all aspects of the tasting ritual. The collection of three, each with a unique profile, consists of the Aequilibrium Wine Glass , Aequilibrium Spirit Glass, and Aequilibrium Universal Glass, allowing drinkers to explore a new dimension of motion, aroma, and pleasure.

A Revolution in the Base: Swirling Without Spilling

What truly sets Aequilibrium Glasses apart is their patented base design.

  • The Wine Glass and Spirit Glass both feature a rounded, central pivot point at the bottom. This allows the glass to rotate 360° on any flat surface without tipping—an effect that not only aerates the contents naturally but also becomes an elegant and mesmerizing part of the drinking ritual. It's not just a glass; it's kinetic sculpture in motion.
  • The Universal Glass shares the same visual language as the other products, but it is a bit different. Instead of a central point, it has a spiral/slanted base. The spiral/slanted base allows the glass to rock gently back and forth. The motion is smooth and satisfying.

Three Forms, Three Functions

Aequilibrium Wine Glass

Couple toasting with Aequilibrium crystal wine glasses filled with red wine by Audacem, featuring a hand-blown, elegant design

A 435 ml/14.70 oz, crystal glass design that complements red wines. Discerning design brings together the wide body and narrow rim-which keeps aromas directed upwards-allowing for the wine to naturally breath, scent pooling in the narrow rim area and scent being delivered to the nose. At 10.5 cm/4.13 inches tall and matching width, this engaging design with pivot base can create interesting opportunities for casual sippers or as part of a formal tasting experience.

Aequilibrium Spirit Glass

The Spirit Glass is compact, with a volume of 235 ml/7.94 oz and height of 8.6 cm/3.38 inches tall. It's tulip shape can be used for aged liquors - whisky, cognac and rum. The tulip shape traps vapors at the rim, and the rounded base allows the Spirit Glass to be moved, aerating the spirit gently, revealing previously hidden layers of complexity through a subtle drinking ritual that amplifies flavour, and enhances environment.

Aequilibrium Universal Glass

Practicality is the guiding concept behind the Universal Glass. 300 ml/10.1 oz in volume and 11.5 cm/4.52 inches tall, the Universal Glass is slightly smaller in diameter than its siblings, measuring 9 cm/3.54 inches. The Universal Glass has a unique slanted base that allows the user to enjoy a smooth rocking motion. This motion makes it the perfect go-to glass for both wine and spirits. It is a wonderful gift for those who appreciate design and functional use combined in a single product.

Craftsmanship Without Compromise

Want to understand how glass shape affects aroma and flavor? A peer-reviewed study published in Appetite (PubMed) found that the form of a wine glass significantly influences the perception of wine aromas, even in blind tests with untrained tasters. The design choices in Aequilibrium Glasses are grounded in this sensory science—not just aesthetics.

All three glasses are created from hand-blown, lead-free crystal. This guarantees not only brilliance and clarity but also an incredibly light feel in the hand. The process of creating each glass is an artisanal process which provides a nod to uniqueness in a mass-produced world.

Aside from their functional brilliance, Aequilibrium Glasses tend to be conversation starters. They have been used as centerpieces for wine tastings, dinner parties, and as gifts. There are multiple customer testimonials describing the motion of the glass as hypnotic and delightful.

One user remarked:

“I can put it down anywhere on the counter and it moves in a perfect circle… people always ask where I got it.”

Moments That Matter

  • Dinner parties - The Wine Glass adds elegance and interaction to every setting. Its motion invites guests to engage with the wine, not just sip it.
  • Slow evenings - The Spirit Glass turns a simple pour of whisky into a meditative experience.
  • Gifting - The Universal Glass, with its balance of design and function, makes an ideal gift for those who seem to have everything.

Whether you're enjoying a Barolo or a smoky Islay scotch, the Audacem Aequilibrium Glasses ensure the experience is not just tasted, but felt.

The Audacem Promise

Behind Aequilibrium is a brand obsessed with precision, emotion, and form. Every glass is the result of thoughtful engineering and artistic intuition. More than just drinkware, Aequilibrium by Audacem is a tribute to movement, balance, and modern rituals.

As one customer put it:

“They’re not just glasses. They’re experiences.”
