Plumm
The Plumm story begins with one family’s passion for wine, which turned to crafting glassware.
After making and selling wine for over 50 years, Plumm understands the shape of a glass significantly influences the flavour and aroma of a wine. From this, an obsession was born, as we collaborated with top sommeliers, industry experts and winemakers around the world to create the perfect glass. With thousands of different grape varietals, we found most fall into a few specific styles. Our collections are designed to elevate those styles, eliminating the need for a glass for every varietal. Wine can be complicated but wine glasses shouldn’t be. Plumm is now lining the tables of over 2000 of Australia’s best restaurants, bars and cellar doors.
Australia’s Wine List of the Year Awards Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame is a prestigious list of establishments who have achieved leading status either by winning the Main Award once or the same State/Territory or Category award three times. Each year, new successful establishments are added to Australia’s Wine List of the Year Awards Hall of Fame. To maintain a current listing however, they must enter and maintain their glass rating each year, which is no easy feat! The Hall of Fame’s individual award is presented periodically to recognise an outstanding individual and their contribution to the Sommelier Profession and to training and education and the service of fine wine within the Australian Hospitality and Tourism Industries.
