White Wine Glass Power 400ml, Lead-Free Crystal, Stölzle Lausitz (Pack of 6)

For the restaurant, the wine shop and the wine bar that serve still whites by the glass and by the bottle. The problem on the floor is well known: the white arrives cold and the guest warms it with the hand if the glass is low. Here the stem takes the top of the glass to 21cm from the table, the hand stays on the stem and the wine holds its temperature for the length of the course. A venue that already has the red from the same range puts two glasses of the same design on the table, and reorders them under the same line.

At home it is the white wine glass for anyone who opens a bottle in the evening and wants the aroma they noticed at the wine shop in the glass. Six cover a dinner.

The maker describes the Power white as a glass designed for tasting, with a slender bowl and a slightly tapered opening. The numbers say the same: 8.5cm at the widest point, 6.05cm at the rim. The wine spreads out low down, where it takes in air, and the aromas gather in the narrower section, which is where the guest brings the nose. With an aromatic white the difference from a straight-sided glass is noticed at the first sip.

400ml is a generous capacity for a white. A 125ml measure takes up less than a third of the bowl, so the wine can be swirled without going over. The same space serves oaked whites, which stay closed in a small glass.

White and red from the same range

Next to the white wine glass, the Power series has the red wine glass, which is larger. On the site there is the Power 520ml for red wine, also in a pack of 6. With the two formats the table setting has the same stem and the same foot throughout, and the waiter tells white from red by the size of the bowl. For the venue it means two reorder lines in place of four or five unmatched models.

How many white wine glasses a venue needs

The count is done on covers and not on bottles. A forty-seat restaurant that serves white at half its tables has twenty glasses in use on the floor, and as many again between the wash and the reserve. That is seven packs. Breakages are counted in from the start: buying the same glass again after six months avoids ending up with two different models on the same table.

The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 packs -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item. The discount applies automatically in the basket.

Washing and weight

The maker declares the Power white wine glass dishwasher safe. One glass weighs 186g: six go on a tray without unbalancing it, and the 8.25cm foot keeps them steady. At 21cm tall it needs a rack for tall stem glasses. For the other wine formats, see the stem glasses category.
