Spiegelau: classic craftsmanship for a perfect wine experience
For the connoisseur who truly wants to experience their wine at its finest, the right glass isn't a luxury! Good wine glasses bring your favorite bottle to life. They bring out the aroma, flavor, balance, and finish in a way that simple glasses simply can't.
Drinking wine is a sensory experience: color, aroma, taste, and mouthfeel are all intertwined. The design of the glass, its shape, rim thickness, and material determine how the wine flows in your mouth, how the aromas present themselves, and can create the right impression. A cheap or unsuitable glass can make that same wine appear simpler and flatter.
Spiegelau has long been known as one of the most beloved glass brands in the wine and hospitality industry. It is now owned by the renowned Riedel brand. But with a rich history that combines craftsmanship with modern production techniques, Spiegelau retains its own unique character and remains affordable.
Spiegelau makes glassware that is not only elegant, but also functional and durable.
The various Spiegelau lines we work with each have their own purpose, their own design, and of course, a price.
The more affordable lines are Salute and Style.
Spiegelau's Salute collection is a true classic: timeless, elegant, and versatile. These glasses have a beautiful, long stem and robust design, making them ideal for everyday use or festive dinners. They feel sturdy, fit comfortably in the hand, and accentuate the color and aroma of wine without being overpowering. Salute is perfect for those who value quality without being overly exclusive.
The Style line combines elegance with modern simplicity and features a sleek, contemporary design. With a diamond-like chalice, this series is designed to beautifully present any wine, from light whites to full-bodied reds. Style is an excellent choice if you appreciate sleek shapes, a modern table setting, and want an optimal wine experience.
The more exclusive lines are Authentis and Definition.
The Authentis collection is perhaps the classic among professionals. Developed in collaboration with sommeliers, this line delivers glassware that optimally reveals the aromas and flavors of wine.
With carefully designed goblets, from Champagne to white and red, and from Bordeaux to Burgundy, this range is internationally acclaimed and used by professionals. Sturdy glassware with a beautiful design.
Spiegelau's newest line, called Definition, was launched a few years ago. Made of crystal and ultra-light, these are fine, thin, crystal-clear lenses that feel almost like a feather in your hand.
The sleek design and high rims subtly capture aromas, allowing you to experience the wine to the fullest. This line is ideal for the serious drinker who refuses to compromise between aesthetics and performance. And at €44.95 for two glasses, it's cheaper than Riedel or the exceptionally fine Zalto.
Durability and dishwasher safety are becoming increasingly important, and Spiegelau combines crystal-clear glass with robust production, meaning many series can simply be placed in the dishwasher without visible wear.
We consider Spiegelau to be incredibly versatile: not everyone wants a whole set of glasses for each grape variety, as Riedel does so beautifully. Lines like Authentis and Style are designed to showcase a wide spectrum of grapes effectively.
So, if you're looking to add new glasses to your collection, we recommend Spiegelau! Whether you're a novice wine lover or a seasoned pro, Spiegelau offers a suitable glass for every taste and budget, making your tasting experience simply that much better.
