Stölzle Lausitz Cocoon Wine Glass

The cocoon structure is specifically engineered with a wider, bulbous bowl that provides extra surface area for aeration. This design allows full-bodied red wines to breathe more effectively, helping complex aromas and bouquets to open up faster than they would in a traditional, narrower glass.

These glasses are designed to be commercial-grade dishwasher safe, meaning they are built to withstand the rigors of frequent cleaning without losing their clarity or structural integrity. While they are durable enough for the dishwasher, using a gentle cycle and proper rack spacing is always recommended to prevent breakage.

Each glass holds 25 ounces, which is quite generous. While this size is ideal for full-bodied reds that benefit from significant aeration, it may be oversized for delicate whites or sparkling wines, which are typically better served in smaller glasses to preserve their temperature and effervescence.

Yes, these glasses are crafted from high-quality lead-free crystal. Modern manufacturing techniques allow lead-free crystal to achieve the same brilliant clarity, thinness, and resonant 'ring' as traditional leaded crystal, while being more durable and environmentally friendly.

At 10 inches tall, these glasses are on the taller side of the spectrum. It is a good idea to measure your cabinet clearance before purchasing to ensure they will fit comfortably on your shelves without needing to be tilted.
