Crystal Glass Champagne Coupe Twist 220ml (Pack of 6)

A coupe that is too large forces an awkward choice: either the bartender pours more, and the cost of every drink goes up while the GP goes down, or the drink looks half empty in front of the guest. At 220ml the Twist crystal glass champagne coupe looks full with a classic serve, and the pour stays the same all night without judging it by eye.

Washing is the second problem it solves. Stölzle Lausitz declares the coupe dishwasher safe, so it goes in the rack with the rest of the stemware and does not sit in the sink waiting for a hand wash.

What to serve in a crystal glass champagne coupe

Sparkling wine first of all: a glass at aperitivo time, a welcome toast, a glass offered at the end of dinner. Then cocktails served up in a classic serve, such as a Martini, a Manhattan or a Gimlet. The 100mm rim leaves room for a twist or an olive without the garnish touching the edge.

The manufacturer’s catalogue points out that desserts present well in a coupe too. In the 220ml size it is the portion of a sorbet or a spoon cream, served on the floor in the same glass as the drinks.

At home the crystal glass champagne coupe is the glass for the toast and the Sunday cocktail. Six coupes lay a table for friends, and after the evening they go in the dishwasher.

For aperitivo service, count the glasses of sparkling wine served in the busiest hour. With 30 glasses in an hour and a wash cycle every 40 minutes, 18 coupes cover the service, that is 3 packs. For a reception, count one coupe per guest plus one spare pack for every thirty guests.

The pack of six also makes reordering simple: the coupes are bought again in identical blocks, and a table set stays complete after the first breakages.

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.

Twist and Swing

The Stölzle Lausitz catalogue groups Twist and Swing together and describes them as delicate coupes, in contrast with the bulkier ones. The 300ml Swing coupes are taller and wider, 180mm by 116mm. The Twist crystal glass champagne coupe is the choice for classic serves, the Swing for drinks that need room. The other coupes are in the cocktail coupes category.

Service with a small coupe

A 220ml coupe travels on the tray with less risk than a wide one: the surface is smaller and the drink moves less while the server crosses the room. It is held by the stem, so the hand does not warm the bubbles and the glass stays free of fingerprints.

Behind the bar, small coupes take up less room in the service area. Six Twist coupes in a row next to the shaker leave space for the rest of the set up, and the bartender strains the drink without moving anything.
