The STARLIGHT (Crystal) Burgundy Wine Glass [STÖLZLE] 820ml is designed for elegant, aromatic red wines – and for anyone who wants a wine glass that enhances both the drinking experience and the appearance of the table.

Its exceptionally generous bowl, very thin walls, fine rim and slender stem give it the proportions associated with a premium Burgundy glass. The large volume provides plenty of room for contact with air and aroma development without making the glass feel heavy or bulky in the hand.

It is a glass that attracts attention when you see it on the table, but its real purpose becomes clear when you pour the wine and give it room to open up.

Why does a Burgundy wine glass have an 820ml capacity?

820ml may sound enormous when compared with the amount of wine normally served in a glass. But total capacity and serving quantity are two completely different things.

A Burgundy glass is intentionally designed with a very wide bowl. The wine occupies only part of it, leaving enough empty space to swirl comfortably and increasing the surface area exposed to air.

This is particularly useful for wines with complex aromatic profiles, where fragrance and subtle nuances are an important part of the experience.

820ml does not mean more wine in the glass. It means more room for the wine's aromas.

Which wines are suitable for STARLIGHT Burgundy 820ml?

The Burgundy shape is particularly well suited to elegant and aromatic red wines that benefit from a broad surface area and additional contact with air:

• Pinot Noir – the classic choice for a Burgundy-shaped glass;
• Red Burgundy / Bourgogne – for expressing delicate and complex aromas;
• Spätburgunder – the German expression of Pinot Noir;
• Gamay – for aromatic and fruit-driven styles;
• Nebbiolo – for wines with complex aromatic profiles;
• elegant and aromatic red wines that benefit from a wide bowl and additional contact with air.

If Pinot Noir is among your favourite wines, or you are looking for a glass for red wines where finesse and aromatic expression matter more than sheer power and body, STARLIGHT Burgundy 820ml is an excellent choice.

Why is the Burgundy shape so different?

Compared with a Bordeaux glass, a Burgundy glass generally has a wider and more rounded bowl.

This geometry provides a larger surface area for contact with air and creates generous space inside the glass for aromas to develop and collect.

With a good Pinot Noir, where the experience can be defined by red fruit, floral notes, spices and numerous subtle nuances, the shape of the glass becomes particularly relevant.

A good Burgundy wine does not simply need a large glass. It benefits from the right shape.

Very large, yet surprisingly refined

One of the distinctive characteristics of the STARLIGHT collection is the contrast between the generous size of the bowl and the refinement of its construction.

The glass has an 820ml capacity, yet its very thin walls, delicate rim and slender stem prevent it from feeling heavy or cumbersome.

Its construction aims to recreate the look and feel associated with premium handmade glassware in a precisely manufactured glass designed for real use.

It is large where the wine needs space and fine where you come into contact with the glass.

Fine and elegant, but designed to be used

STARLIGHT Burgundy has a delicate appearance, but the collection was not created simply for display cabinets or rare occasions.

STARLIGHT is also suited to professional environments where glassware must combine premium presentation with the practical requirements of restaurants, hotels and wine bars.

The glass is dishwasher safe.

Of course, a very thin-walled crystal glass should still be handled with care and is not unbreakable. However, the refinement of STARLIGHT does not mean you should be afraid to use it.

Is a premium Burgundy glass worth buying for home?

If you regularly enjoy Pinot Noir or other aromatic red wines, yes.

You do not need to be a sommelier or organise professional tastings. A well-chosen wine glass can make a difference during an ordinary dinner, while STARLIGHT Burgundy also adds a striking visual element to the table.

The broad bowl and long stem create an elegant silhouette, while a set of six matching glasses gives the table a coherent and refined appearance when family or friends come over.

It is the kind of glass you buy for the wine but end up appreciating just as much for the way it looks on the table.

Should it be reserved only for expensive wines?

No.

A good wine glass does not have to be reserved exclusively for a rare bottle or an anniversary. If you enjoy Pinot Noir, a well-proportioned Burgundy glass can simply become the glass you choose whenever you drink this style of wine.

It can accompany a special bottle at a celebration, but it works just as well for a normal evening at home.

You do not have to wait for the perfect wine or the perfect occasion to use a good glass.

Why 6 glasses?

The price is displayed per piece to make calculation and comparison with other models easier. The product is sold in multiples of 6 pieces.

For home use, six glasses make a practical and complete set for dinner with family or friends. When guests arrive, there is no need to mix different glass designs and sizes just to complete the table.

For restaurants, hotels and wine bars, the same quantity makes stock replenishment easier and helps maintain a consistent table presentation.

What do you get compared with a cheaper Burgundy glass?

If your only requirement is enough room for the wine, there are less expensive glasses available.

STARLIGHT combines lead-free crystal with very thin walls, a fine rim, slender stem and a generous Burgundy bowl specifically proportioned for aromatic wines.

The difference is not purely visual. A premium wine glass should interfere as little as possible with the experience: the fine rim, light feel and appropriate proportions help keep the wine itself at the centre of attention.

You are not simply choosing an 820ml glass. You are choosing a shape designed around the way certain wines express themselves best.

STARLIGHT Burgundy or Bordeaux?

This is probably the most important choice if you want to build a good set of red wine glasses.

Choose STARLIGHT Burgundy 820ml if you mainly drink Pinot Noir, Burgundy, Spätburgunder and other elegant, fragrant and aromatic red wines.

Choose STARLIGHT Bordeaux 675ml if you prefer Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Fetească Neagră, Syrah or other fuller-bodied and more structured red wines.

Burgundy has a wider, more rounded bowl focused on aromatic development. Bordeaux has a shape better suited to wines with greater structure, body and more pronounced tannins.

If you drink Pinot Noir, choose Burgundy. If you mainly drink Cabernet or Merlot, Bordeaux is the more versatile choice.

STARLIGHT or COCOON?

Both STÖLZLE collections are premium choices, but they have different personalities.

Choose STARLIGHT if you prefer an elegant, timeless silhouette, very fine walls and the delicate feel associated with premium handmade-style glassware.

Choose COCOON if you prefer a more contemporary design, more distinctive shapes and a stronger visual presence.

STARLIGHT focuses on refinement and timeless elegance. COCOON has a more pronounced design character. For home use, the choice can depend as much on your table setting and personal style as on the wine itself.

For home or professional hospitality?

Both.

At home, STARLIGHT Burgundy is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir lovers and anyone who wants a striking, elegant set of wine glasses refined enough for a carefully prepared table.

In professional hospitality, its Burgundy shape, premium presentation and fine construction make it suitable for restaurants, hotels, wine bars and wine service where the glass itself is considered part of the tasting experience.

Professional enough for a wine bar and elegant enough to be proud of on your table at home.

Care and cleaning

The STARLIGHT glass is dishwasher safe.

However, because this is a premium glass with a very wide bowl, fine walls and a slender stem, we recommend positioning the glasses carefully so that they do not touch each other or other objects during the washing cycle.

Avoid abrasive sponges and hard materials that could scratch the crystal surface.
