Wine Jug – for Red Wine for One Person – Polish Pottery

The 500 ml red wine jug in Polish pottery is designed for serving fine red wine elegantly to a single guest. The hand-painted ceramic not only keeps the wine at the perfect temperature but also brings a touch of traditional craftsmanship to the table.

While cheese and fruit are classic companions to red wine, freshly baked bread and mild butter blends highlight the wine’s aroma without overpowering it.
