The STARLIGHT (Crystal) Bordeaux Wine Glass [STÖLZLE] 675ml is designed for red wines with structure, body and complexity – and for those who want a wine glass that looks as good on the table as it feels in the hand.

Its very thin walls, fine rim and slender stem give it an elegance close to premium handmade glassware, while the generous 675ml bowl gives the wine the space it needs for aeration and aroma development.

It is the kind of glass you notice when you pick it up – and one you will be happy to place on the table when opening a good bottle or welcoming guests.

Why does a Bordeaux glass have such a generous bowl?

Full-bodied and structured red wines benefit from contact with air. This is why a Bordeaux glass intentionally has a larger bowl than an ordinary wine glass.

The 675ml capacity does not mean that the glass should be filled with that much wine. On the contrary, an important part of the bowl should remain empty.

This space allows you to swirl the wine, increases its contact with air and gives complex aromas room to develop.

675ml does not mean a larger serving. It means more room for the wine.

Which wines are suitable for STARLIGHT Bordeaux 675ml?

The Bordeaux shape is particularly well suited to red wines with structure, tannins and a complex aromatic profile:

• Cabernet Sauvignon – for structured wines with tannins and complex aromas;
• Merlot – for rich, smooth and fruit-driven styles;
• Cabernet Franc – for aromatic and structured red wines;
• Fetească Neagră – particularly fuller-bodied or matured styles;
• Syrah / Shiraz – for intense and spicy styles;
• Bordeaux-style blends – for complex wines that benefit from aeration;
• other full-bodied red wines that need space to open up in the glass.

If you regularly enjoy Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Fetească Neagră or serious red blends and want one versatile premium glass for these styles, STARLIGHT Bordeaux 675ml is an excellent choice.

Why does STARLIGHT feel different from an ordinary wine glass?

A large wine glass does not need to feel heavy or have thick walls.

STARLIGHT combines the generous volume of a Bordeaux bowl with very fine walls, a delicate rim and a slender pulled stem. The result is a large glass that still feels surprisingly light and elegant in the hand.

Its construction aims for the refinement associated with premium handmade glassware, while remaining a product designed for real use.

The size gives the wine room. The refinement prevents the glass from feeling bulky.

Fine and thin does not mean it has to stay in the cabinet

STARLIGHT has a delicate appearance, but the series was developed to combine refinement with the resistance required for real-world use.

The pulled stem creates a continuous and elegant transition between bowl and stem, while the series is also intended for restaurants, hotels and wine bars – environments where glasses are used and washed frequently.

The glass is dishwasher safe.

This does not mean that a thin-walled crystal wine glass is unbreakable. It does mean that STARLIGHT is designed to be used, not simply admired in a cabinet.

Is a premium Bordeaux glass worth buying for home?

Yes – and you do not need to be a wine collector or sommelier to appreciate the difference.

If you enjoy good red wines at home, the difference between a basic glass and one with a properly proportioned bowl, fine walls and a thin rim can be appreciated both while drinking and in the appearance of the table.

A set of STARLIGHT Bordeaux glasses works for dinner for two, a Sunday meal, an evening with friends or simply when you open a bottle you want to enjoy under better conditions.

You do not have to wait for a special occasion to use your good glasses.

A wine glass that changes the look of the table

The generous bowl, long stem and fine proportions give STARLIGHT Bordeaux a strong visual presence without making it look excessive.

On a table prepared for family or friends, six matching glasses immediately create a more coherent and elegant presentation.

It is exactly the kind of crystal glassware that can elevate a simple table without making dinner at home feel overly formal.

Elegant when guests come over. Just as enjoyable when you open a bottle for yourself.

Why 6 glasses?

The price is displayed per piece so that the value of each glass is easy to calculate and compare with other models. The product is sold in multiples of 6 pieces.

For home use, 6 glasses make a practical set: enough for dinner with family or friends and, importantly, enough to avoid mixing different glass designs when guests arrive.

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

What do you get compared with a cheaper Bordeaux glass?

If your only requirement is a large glass in which to pour red wine, there are less expensive alternatives.

STARLIGHT adds the characteristics that define a premium wine glass experience: lead-free crystal, very thin walls, a fine rim, slender stem and a generously proportioned bowl.

The difference is visible on the table and becomes even more apparent when you pick up the glass.

You are not simply paying for a 675ml capacity. You are choosing the refinement, proportions and experience of a glass designed around wine.

STARLIGHT Bordeaux or Burgundy?

The right choice depends primarily on the wines you drink most often.

Choose STARLIGHT Bordeaux 675ml for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Fetească Neagră, Bordeaux blends and other fuller-bodied, structured red wines.

Choose STARLIGHT Burgundy 820ml for Pinot Noir, Burgundy and other more delicate, aromatic red wines that benefit from a very wide bowl.

If you mainly drink classic, full-bodied reds, Bordeaux 675ml is the more versatile choice. If you prefer Pinot Noir and wines where aromatic expression is the priority, the Burgundy shape is worth choosing.

STARLIGHT or COCOON?

Both STÖLZLE collections are premium choices, but they offer different visual 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, a more distinctive bowl and a stronger visual character.

STARLIGHT is understated and refined. COCOON attracts more attention through its design. Both can create a premium table setting, but in different styles.

For home or professional hospitality?

Both.

At home, STARLIGHT Bordeaux is ideal for red wine lovers who want elegant crystal glassware for dinners, meals with friends, celebrations or simply for enjoying a good bottle on an ordinary evening.

In professional hospitality, its Bordeaux bowl, premium presentation and fine construction make it suitable for restaurants, hotels, wine bars and wine service where the choice of glass is part of the experience.

Professional quality for a restaurant table. Elegant enough to be proud of at home.

Care and cleaning

The STARLIGHT glass is dishwasher safe.

However, as this is a premium glass with 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.

Frequently asked questions

Which wines are suitable for STARLIGHT Bordeaux 675ml?
It is particularly suitable for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Fetească Neagră, Syrah, Bordeaux blends and other full-bodied, structured red wines.

Why is a Bordeaux glass so large?
The 675ml capacity represents the total volume, not the amount of wine that should be poured. The empty space allows the wine to be swirled, increases contact with air and gives its aromas room to develop.

Is it suitable for home or only for restaurants?
Both. It is designed for professional use, while its fine walls, elegant stem and classic shape also make it an excellent choice for a premium wine glass set at home.

Is it extremely fragile because the walls are so thin?
It is still a fine crystal glass and should be handled accordingly. However, the STARLIGHT series was designed to combine its delicate appearance and thin walls with the resistance required for professional use.

What is the difference between a Bordeaux and a Burgundy glass?
The Bordeaux shape is better suited to full-bodied, structured red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. A Burgundy glass has a wider bowl and is intended for more delicate and aromatic wines such as Pinot Noir.

Why choose STARLIGHT instead of a cheaper wine glass?
For the combination of lead-free crystal, very thin walls, a fine rim, slender stem and a generous shape designed for red wine. The difference is visible on the table and noticeable when you hold the glass.

Can STARLIGHT glasses be washed in a dishwasher?
Yes. We recommend positioning them carefully with enough space between the glasses to protect their fine walls and slender stems.

Why is it sold in multiples of 6 if the price is shown per piece?
Displaying the individual price makes calculation and comparison with other glasses easier. Six glasses make a practical set for entertaining family or friends at home and are also a convenient quantity for professional purchasing.
