STÖLZLE Lausitz is a German glassware manufacturer known for crystal glasses designed for wine, gastronomy and professional beverage service. Its different collections combine contemporary design with shapes developed for different wine styles, water, cocktails and other drinks.
The STÖLZLE range extends from versatile everyday wine glasses to specialised shapes for Bordeaux and Burgundy, as well as distinctive glasses for cocktails and premium presentation.
Whether you are choosing glassware for a restaurant, hotel or wine bar or building a quality glassware collection at home, STÖLZLE makes it possible to select the glass according to the beverage, wine style and type of service.
Why does wine glass shape matter?
A wine glass is more than a container. Bowl size and geometry, the surface area between wine and air, the diameter of the opening and the room available for swirling can influence how aromas reach the nose and the overall tasting experience.
For this reason, the STÖLZLE range includes both versatile glasses suitable for several wine styles and more specialised shapes for white wine, red wine, Bordeaux and Burgundy.
Choosing glassware does not need to be unnecessarily complicated. For everyday use, one versatile white wine glass and one red wine glass may cover most needs. Bordeaux, Burgundy and other specialised shapes can then be added according to the wines you enjoy.
STÖLZLE POWER – contemporary geometric design
POWER is one of the most recognisable STÖLZLE collections. Its wine glasses feature a broad, relatively flat lower bowl, strong geometric lines and sides that narrow towards the rim.
For wine, this geometry provides a generous surface for contact with air and room for swirling, while the narrower upper section helps concentrate aromas.
POWER is particularly suitable for those who prefer modern design and want to create a coordinated table setting.
- POWER Water 380ml – for water and non-alcoholic beverages;
- POWER White Wine 400ml – for white and rosé wines;
- POWER Red Wine 520ml – a versatile glass for many red wine styles;
- POWER Bordeaux 648ml – for fuller-bodied and structured red wines.
STÖLZLE QUATROPHIL – elegance for wine service
QUATROPHIL combines an elegant silhouette with shapes intended for different wine styles and is suitable for restaurants, wine bars, tastings and premium wine service at home.
Models for white wine, red wine, Bordeaux or Burgundy use different bowl volumes and proportions. This makes it possible to select a glass according to the wine while maintaining the consistent visual identity of the collection.
QUATROPHIL is especially attractive for those who want an elegant presence on the table while choosing a collection with a strong focus on wine service.
STÖLZLE STARLIGHT – slender and refined
STARLIGHT represents a slender and refined side of STÖLZLE crystal glassware. Its elegant proportions and contemporary appearance make the collection suitable for restaurants and hotels as well as for anyone looking for premium wine glasses at home.
Depending on the model, STARLIGHT provides shapes for different wine styles, making it possible to build a coordinated glassware collection while retaining the distinctions required for different wines.
If POWER attracts with its strong geometric character and QUATROPHIL with its wine-focused elegance, STARLIGHT is an alternative for those who prefer a more slender silhouette and refined aesthetic.
STÖLZLE ELEMENTS – when the glass becomes part of the experience
ELEMENTS places particular emphasis on visual impact. Black & Gold models turn the glass itself into an important part of the presentation and are suited to cocktail bars, lounges, restaurants, hotels, events and creative serves.
The collection includes shapes such as coupe, Martini and tumbler glasses for cocktails and other serves where the design of the glass contributes directly to the experience of the drink.
ELEMENTS is a suitable choice when you want more than the transparency of traditional crystal glassware and the glass itself is intended to attract attention.
POWER, QUATROPHIL, STARLIGHT or ELEMENTS?
There is no single STÖLZLE collection that is right for everyone. The choice depends on the beverage, serving style and your design preferences.
- POWER – contemporary, geometric and instantly recognisable;
- QUATROPHIL – elegant and strongly focused on wine service;
- STARLIGHT – slender, contemporary and refined;
- ELEMENTS – for cocktails and serves where visual impact is essential.
Which STÖLZLE wine glass should I choose?
For white wine, a medium-sized bowl generally offers a useful balance between aromatic space and temperature control.
For different styles of red wine, a versatile glass around the 500ml range can be a practical choice. For Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux blends and fuller-bodied structured wines, a larger Bordeaux bowl provides additional room for aeration.
For Pinot Noir and other aromatic wine styles, a wider Burgundy-style bowl may be preferred.
Individual STÖLZLE product pages provide more specific guidance about the recommended use of each model.
STÖLZLE glasses for home
Premium glassware does not need to be reserved for special occasions. If you enjoy wine at home, choosing an appropriate glass can improve the experience even during an everyday dinner.
You do not need a large collection to begin with. A white wine glass, a versatile red wine glass and water glasses can cover most situations. Bordeaux, Burgundy, cocktail and other specialised shapes can be added later according to your preferences.
STÖLZLE for restaurants, hotels and wine bars
In professional hospitality, a coordinated glassware collection helps create a consistent table setting while allowing different beverages to be served in appropriate shapes.
A restaurant may combine a water glass, a white wine glass, a versatile red wine glass and a larger Bordeaux bowl for premium or more structured wines. ELEMENTS glasses can be added separately for cocktails and special presentations.
This approach maintains a consistent visual identity without requiring every beverage to be served in the same type of glass.
