What customers say
These Spiegelau glasses earn high praise for their exceptional lightness and performance, rivaling expensive crystal. Users consistently note the almost weightless feel and the generous bowl size, which effectively concentrates Burgundy aromas, significantly improving the tasting experience. The thin rim ensures a seamless sip. However, this delicate construction is also the main drawback; many report the glasses are extremely fragile and prone to breaking despite being dishwasher safe. Serious enthusiasts find the value excellent, prioritizing superior performance and elegance over rugged durability, making them a top choice for careful wine lovers seeking an elevated, yet practical, option.
Know before you buy
The wide, generous bowl of this 34 oz glass is engineered to provide a large surface area, which allows delicate red wines like Pinot Noir to aerate properly. This shape helps concentrate the complex aromatics of the wine, directing them toward the nose for a more nuanced tasting experience.
No, these glasses are not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate, extra-fine rim and lightweight crystal construction, we recommend hand-washing them carefully with warm water and a mild detergent to prevent breakage.
An extra-fine rim minimizes the physical presence of the glass against your lips, allowing for a smoother, more seamless flow of wine. This design choice ensures that the texture and temperature of the wine are the primary focus rather than the thickness of the glass.
The Definition collection is specifically crafted to be exceptionally lightweight. This reduced weight makes the glass feel balanced and elegant in the hand, though it does require more careful handling than thicker, everyday glassware.
While optimized for Burgundy, the large bowl is also excellent for other aromatic red wines that benefit from aeration, such as Nebbiolo or Gamay. However, for full-bodied wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, you may prefer a glass with a slightly narrower bowl to better focus the bouquet.
