The L’Amour champagne flute in two lines
The L’Amour champagne flute by Stölzle Lausitz comes as two 175ml sparkling wine glasses with a red heart in the stem. The maker declares lead-free crystal, a height of 24.2cm, a diameter of 7cm and dishwasher resistance. It is sold as a set of 2, and the price is for the set.
Who it is for
For the restaurant and the hotel that lay a table for two: Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, a proposal booked by the guest, the welcome in the room for a couple. On these evenings the venue usually adds something to the table, petals or candles, and then has to clear it away. Here the glass carries the theme: the heart is in the stem, it shows with the glass full and with the glass empty, and at the end of service it goes in the dishwasher with the others.
At home it is the gift for an engagement, a wedding or an anniversary, and the set for a toast on an evening for two. Two matching glasses, already a pair, with no need to buy a set of six.
The heart in the stem, and why it is there
Stölzle Lausitz sells the L’Amour series in two versions, with a frosted heart and with a red heart in the stem. This set of flutes is the red one. The bowl stays plain and clear, so the bead reads as it does in any sparkling wine glass: the colour of the wine and the stream of bubbles do not pass behind a decoration. The mark of the evening sits lower down, where the fingers rest.
For a venue something else counts too. A decoration printed on the bowl covers the wine, and a guest who has ordered a serious bottle notices. With the heart in the stem the glass stays a working glass.

How many sets for an evening
One set of flutes is one table for two. A restaurant that lays twenty tables for couples on Valentine’s Day uses twenty, plus a few in reserve for the second sitting. On the wine the sum is simple: pouring 125ml a glass, a 750ml bottle fills six glasses, which is three tables. The 175ml capacity leaves space above the wine, and the foam of the first pour stays below the rim.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 sets -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item. The discount applies automatically in the basket.
A flute for a gift or for service
The two do not rule each other out. A venue that uses them on the floor can also offer them at the end of dinner: the guest who celebrated with those glasses takes them home, and the set of 2 is already the right quantity. Anyone looking for an everyday sparkling wine glass without decoration will find the other formats in the stem glasses category.
Washing
The maker declares the L’Amour champagne flute dishwasher safe. At 24.2cm tall it needs a rack for tall stem glasses, and in a home dishwasher the clearance of the top shelf is worth checking. By hand it is washed in hot water with a neutral detergent, and held by the bowl, not the stem, while it is dried.
