Most wine cases hide the thing you paid for. This one puts it behind glass.

The shell is built from a reddish-brown hardwood with a visible straight grain and a matte finish. A rectangular glass panel is set into the lid, framed in brushed gold-tone metal, with a matching engraved plaque on the front face. The case works standing upright or lying flat — the window reads in both orientations, which is why the proportions are near-square rather than long and low.

Inside, a moulded cream insert holds one bottle in a shaped recess and carries two glasses in corner cut-outs. The glasses sit lower than the bottle and frame it rather than obscure it, so the label stays legible through the glass. That layout was driven by the window, not by the available space: every element had to be positioned for the viewer first and for fit second.

The result is a case that can sit closed on a shelf as an object in its own right.

Available in alternative veneers and stains, with custom engraving and interior profiling.
