Glass Wine Thief - Economy
A unique, functional variation of the traditional glass wine thief. We ordered these from eastern europe where the pricing/quality is great. The design was supposed to look exactly like our traditional thiefs we have made locally in Berkeley, California. Thus we used a picture of the original thief in our latest catalog. But alas, when they arrived they looked unlike any wine thief we have seen. But.... they work fantastic so we are happy and we think you will be too! Upon further testing and working with this thief, it has become clear that it can be tempermental about which carboys it fits in. If you'd like a glass thief for a carboy, we have to recommend the MT345. This still works great for barrels, even stacked ones! 1" in diameter, 10" from the bend to the tip and about 14" total length.

Hand-made by local artists right near our headquarters in Berkeley, California. This is our best thief by far and is our staff favorite. You can just feel the quality and craftsmanship of the piece when you pick it up. It has that kind of weight to it. Tested in our wine room and tested in the field. You cannot go wrong with this piece whether you are a pro wine maker or a home winemaker who makes professional quality wine. We have been selling this same thief for years now, and it's ideal for sampling wine from glass carboys or barrels. Taking a sample out of a barrel just feels right with this tool. This hand-blown glass wine thief holds approximately 50 ml of liquid -- the perfect amount for sampling and using for testing. This is the thief you dream about! Approximate dimensions 3/4 in. diameter x 1 ft. long before the bend.
