Designed for the world's great red wines

Complex red wines need space to reveal their full personality. A bowl that is too small restricts oxygen exposure and limits aromatic expression, while a properly designed Bordeaux glass allows every layer of the wine to unfold naturally.

The POWER Bordeaux Wine Glass 648 ml by STÖLZLE has been developed specifically for full-bodied red wines whose structure, tannins and bouquet benefit from generous aeration before every sip.

Why is a Bordeaux glass so large?

Its 648 ml capacity may seem generous at first glance, but professional wine service never fills the glass completely.

Typically, only 150–180 ml of wine is poured, leaving ample space for swirling. This extra volume allows oxygen to interact with the wine, encouraging complex aromas to develop while softening tannins and improving overall balance.

The POWER shape actively enhances aeration

The bold angular silhouette of the POWER collection is far more than a striking design feature.

As the wine is gently swirled, the distinctive bowl creates a stronger vortex that increases the contact between wine and oxygen. This accelerates aroma development and helps powerful red wines open up more quickly than they would in a traditional rounded glass.

This innovative concept is one of the reasons why the POWER collection has become highly appreciated by sommeliers and premium restaurants.

Premium lead-free crystal made in Germany

For more than 130 years, STÖLZLE has produced professional crystal glassware trusted by wine professionals across the world.

The lead-free crystal delivers exceptional brilliance, outstanding transparency and elegant thin walls while maintaining the durability required for demanding hospitality environments.

Every glass is designed to highlight both the visual beauty and aromatic complexity of fine wine.

Perfect for full-bodied red wines

The generous bowl is particularly recommended for:

• Cabernet Sauvignon;
• Cabernet Franc;
• Merlot;
• Bordeaux blends;
• Syrah / Shiraz;
• Malbec;
• Tempranillo Reserva;
• Brunello di Montalcino;
• Amarone della Valpolicella.

These wines benefit from greater oxygen exposure, allowing notes of dark fruit, spices, oak, cocoa and tobacco to become more expressive.

Why not use a smaller wine glass?

A smaller bowl limits aeration and concentrates alcohol too strongly near the rim, reducing aromatic complexity.

The large POWER Bordeaux bowl allows aromas to evolve naturally, creating a smoother, more balanced and significantly richer tasting experience.

This is precisely why professional restaurants and wine bars choose dedicated Bordeaux glasses for serving premium red wines.
