Serving as inspiration for the name of Bonde Fine Wine Shop, the bonde has been used in winemaking techniques dating back millennia to ancient Roman times. Fitting on top of the opening in the wine barrel, the bonde releases gently during fermentation allowing carbon dioxide to escape while preventing oxidation that may ruin the wine.
Authentic handblown glass bonde, handmade in France by local artisan glassblowers,
makes a perfect gift for the wine lover as a paperweight or decoration in the cellar. Personalized engraving available.
