The POWER (Crystal) Red Wine Glass [STÖLZLE] 520ml is a versatile lead-free crystal wine glass designed for a broad range of red wines and for anyone looking to give the wine sufficient room to aerate without moving up to the dimensions of a very large Bordeaux glass.

Its 520ml capacity offers an excellent balance between the space needed for aroma development and practical dimensions for regular use. It is suitable for home use as well as restaurants, hotels, wine bars, tastings and events.

The distinctive geometric shape of the POWER collection immediately sets it apart from traditional wine glasses with more rounded bowls and gives the glass a modern, recognisable identity.

Why does the STÖLZLE POWER glass have such a distinctive shape?

The POWER design is not purely an aesthetic choice.

The lower part of the bowl is broad and relatively flat, providing a generous surface area for contact between the wine and air. The bowl then narrows towards the rim, helping to concentrate aromas in the upper part of the glass.

The shape therefore combines two important elements for enjoying wine: space for aeration and an upper section designed to help concentrate aromas.

Why 520ml for a red wine glass?

A 520ml wine glass is not intended to hold a 520ml serving of wine.

The generous capacity allows sufficient empty space to remain above a normal serving, making it easier to swirl the wine and giving its aromas room to develop inside the bowl.

This empty space is one of the reasons why glasses designed for red wine are usually considerably larger than the actual amount of wine served.

Which wines are suitable for the POWER Red Wine 520ml?

POWER 520ml is designed as a versatile red wine glass and can be used with a wide variety of grape varieties and wine styles.

It is a suitable choice for:

• Pinot Noir;
• Sangiovese;
• Chianti;
• Tempranillo;
• Syrah / Shiraz;
• Grenache;
• Zweigelt;
• Barbera;
• Primitivo;
• Malbec;
• many blends and other medium- to full-bodied red wines.

This versatility makes it particularly useful for anyone who does not want a different glass for every individual red grape variety.

Is POWER 520ml suitable for Pinot Noir?

Yes. POWER 520ml provides sufficient space for the aromas of Pinot Noir to develop and allows the wine to be swirled comfortably in the bowl.

For anyone looking for a single POWER glass that can accommodate several different styles of red wine, the 520ml model is a highly versatile choice.

Is it suitable for Sangiovese, Chianti or Tempranillo?

Yes. Its 520ml capacity makes it suitable for Sangiovese, Chianti, Tempranillo and many other medium- to fuller-bodied red wines.

The bowl provides sufficient room for the wine to interact with air without becoming as large as a glass specifically intended for particularly full-bodied Bordeaux-style wines.

POWER Red Wine 520ml or POWER Bordeaux 648ml?

This is one of the most useful distinctions to understand when choosing between the two POWER glasses.

POWER Red Wine 520ml is the more versatile option for a broad range of red wines. It is an excellent choice if you want one glass for several different grape varieties and styles.

POWER Bordeaux 648ml has a larger bowl and provides additional space for particularly full-bodied, structured and tannic wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, mature Merlot and Bordeaux blends.

• 520ml: the more versatile choice for red wine;
• 648ml Bordeaux: more space for powerful, structured and complex red wines.

If you drink several different styles of red wine and want a single POWER model, the 520ml is the more universal choice.

POWER 520ml or a universal wine glass?

If you want a single glass for both white and red wine, a universal wine glass may be the more practical solution.

If you primarily drink red wine, however, POWER 520ml provides a more generous bowl and additional room for aeration compared with a smaller universal glass.

It therefore offers a useful balance between specialisation and versatility.

Should a 520ml red wine glass be filled to the top?

No.

The 520ml capacity represents the total volume of the glass, not the recommended serving size.

A significant part of the bowl should remain empty so that the wine can be swirled comfortably and its aromas have room to collect and develop inside the glass.

Is a premium red wine glass only for special occasions?

Not necessarily.

A good red wine glass can also be used for an ordinary dinner at home. You do not need an expensive bottle or a formal tasting to benefit from a bowl that gives the wine more room to express itself.

POWER 520ml can become your regular red wine glass at home while still offering an elegant presentation for guests, special dinners and celebrations.

STÖLZLE POWER 520ml for restaurants and wine bars

For restaurants and wine bars, the versatility of the 520ml model can be a significant advantage.

A single glass can accommodate a broad range of red wines, helping to simplify glassware selection and table setting while maintaining the premium presentation and distinctive visual identity of the POWER collection.

It is suitable for wines served by the glass, bottle service, wine pairing menus, tastings and events.

POWER 520ml as part of a complete glassware collection

The POWER collection makes it possible to create a coordinated glassware selection with different models suited to different beverages and wine styles.

A coordinated selection can include:

• POWER Water 380ml – for water and non-alcoholic drinks;
• POWER White Wine 400ml – for white and rosé wines;
• POWER Red Wine 520ml – for a broad range of red wines;
• POWER Bordeaux 648ml – for fuller and more structured red wines.

At home, this allows you to build your glassware collection gradually according to the wines you actually drink. For professional hospitality, it provides a visually consistent and easily recognisable table setting.

Lead-free crystal and distinctive STÖLZLE design

POWER Red Wine 520ml is made from lead-free crystal by STÖLZLE Lausitz.

The transparency of the crystal allows the colour and clarity of the wine to be appreciated, while the stem makes it possible to hold the glass without unnecessarily warming the bowl and the wine with your hand.

The angular, contemporary profile of the POWER collection gives the glass a distinctive identity compared with traditional wine glasses featuring more rounded bowls.
