What customers say
The Spiegelau Definition Bordeaux glass earns high praise for its exceptional lightness and revolutionary design. Users consistently emphasize the featherlight feel and precision thinness of the rim, which significantly elevates the sensory experience of drinking wine. This specialized shape excels at concentrating complex bouquets, particularly for full bodied reds. While the crystal's clarity is admired, the delicate thinness sparks recurring anxiety regarding fragility during handling and washing. Enthusiasts find the premium performance justifies the investment, viewing it as a superior alternative to expensive hand blown stemware. The consensus favors this glass for those prioritizing the ultimate tasting experience, provided they accept its inherent delicacy.
Know before you buy
Bordeaux wines are typically full-bodied and benefit from significant aeration to open up their complex aromas. The large bowl provides ample surface area for the wine to breathe, allowing you to swirl it effectively without spilling.
No, these crystal glasses are not dishwasher safe. To maintain their clarity and prevent breakage, we recommend hand-washing them carefully with mild detergent.
Yes, these glasses are crafted from traditional crystal, which typically contains lead to achieve its signature brilliance and clarity. If you are specifically looking for lead-free alternatives, this particular collection is not the right fit.
Absolutely. While specifically shaped to highlight the characteristics of Bordeaux, the generous bowl size is excellent for other bold, tannic red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Cabernet Franc.
This product is sold as a 6-piece set, making it a great choice for hosting dinner parties or stocking your home bar with a matching collection.
