The QUATROPHIL (Crystal) Burgundy Wine Glass [STÖLZLE] 710ml is a premium wine glass designed for fine, aromatic and complex red wines, particularly Pinot Noir. Its exceptionally generous bowl gives the wine room to aerate and develop its aromas, while the shape helps concentrate them towards the upper part of the glass.
Part of the STÖLZLE Lausitz Premium Line, QUATROPHIL combines thin walls, a fine rim and an elegant pulled stem with a construction designed for real-world use, including professional wine service.
It is the kind of glass that changes the appearance of the table before the wine is even poured: a generous bowl, elegant stem and refined proportions that attract attention without appearing excessive.
Why is a Burgundy-shaped glass suitable for Pinot Noir?
Pinot Noir is appreciated for its complex aromatic profile and often more delicate structure compared with varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon.
A wide Burgundy bowl provides a generous surface area for interaction between wine and air, as well as plenty of room for swirling. The broad bowl allows aromas to develop inside the glass, while the upper part of the shape helps direct and concentrate them towards the nose.
If you regularly drink Pinot Noir and are looking for a crystal glass that gives its aromas plenty of room to develop, the QUATROPHIL Burgundy 710ml is the STÖLZLE model designed around this type of wine experience.
Which wines is it recommended for?
The QUATROPHIL Burgundy 710ml is primarily recommended for fine, expressive and aromatic red wines:
- Pinot Noir;
- Pinot Nero;
- Spätburgunder;
- Burgundy / Bourgogne-style red wines;
- other elegant and aromatic red wines that benefit from a broad bowl.
Pinot Noir, Pinot Nero and Spätburgunder are names used for the same grape variety in different countries and markets. Whichever name you know it by, the Burgundy shape is closely associated with this style of wine.
Is a Burgundy glass only for wines from Burgundy?
No. In this context, “Burgundy” describes the shape of the glass and the style of wine for which it is suited rather than a geographical restriction.
You can use the QUATROPHIL Burgundy for Pinot Noir produced in France, Germany, Italy, Romania, New Zealand or other wine regions.
The character of the wine and the way it benefits from the broad bowl matter more than its country of origin.
710ml – why is the glass so large?
The 710ml capacity refers to the total volume of the glass, not the amount of wine recommended for a single serving.
With a Burgundy glass, the large bowl has a purpose. The wine occupies only part of the available volume, leaving room for swirling, interaction with air and the development of aromas inside the bowl.
This is why a glass intended for Pinot Noir can look surprisingly large compared with the amount of wine actually poured into it.
710ml means room for wine, air and aromas – not 710ml of wine in a single serving.
QUATROPHIL Burgundy or Bordeaux – which should I choose?
This is one of the most useful distinctions to understand when choosing a dedicated red wine glass.
The QUATROPHIL Burgundy 710ml has an exceptionally generous bowl and is designed around fine, aromatically expressive red wines, with Pinot Noir being the classic example.
The QUATROPHIL Bordeaux 645ml is better suited to more structured red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Bordeaux blends.
In simple terms:
- Pinot Noir → Burgundy 710ml;
- Cabernet Sauvignon → Bordeaux 645ml;
- Merlot → Bordeaux 645ml;
- Bordeaux blends → Bordeaux 645ml.
If you are choosing between the two and Pinot Noir is what you drink most often, the Burgundy model is the natural place to start.
Burgundy glass or universal wine glass?
A universal wine glass is a practical option if you want a single model that can accommodate many different wine styles.
The QUATROPHIL Burgundy has a more specialised role. Its very broad bowl is designed for wines where aromatic development and expression are an important part of the tasting experience.
If you rarely drink Pinot Noir and prefer to keep only one type of wine glass at home, a universal model may be more practical. If Pinot Noir and elegant red wines regularly appear on your table, a dedicated Burgundy glass begins to make much more sense.
Is it a good first premium set of red wine glasses?
It depends on the wines you actually drink.
If Pinot Noir is among your favourite wines, a set of 6 QUATROPHIL Burgundy glasses can be an excellent first premium set dedicated to red wine.
If you mainly drink Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and more structured red wines, the QUATROPHIL Bordeaux 645ml may be a more versatile starting point for your drinking preferences.
There is no single red wine glass that is perfect for everyone. The right glass starts with the wines you genuinely enjoy drinking.
A wine glass worth putting on the table at home
The QUATROPHIL Burgundy is not interesting only because of its function as a tasting glass. Its generous bowl, thin walls and long stem give it a strong visual presence on the table.
Six matching glasses can transform a simple table setting into something noticeably more elegant, whether it is dinner for two, Sunday lunch, an evening with friends or a meal prepared for guests.
You do not need to be a sommelier or organise a formal wine tasting to appreciate a good wine glass.
If you enjoy setting a beautiful table, the QUATROPHIL Burgundy is the kind of glass you can be proud to bring out for guests, yet use just as happily on an ordinary evening at home.
Does fine and elegant automatically mean very fragile?
QUATROPHIL is distinguished by its thin walls, fine rim and long, elegantly pulled stem. These features give it the delicate appearance and refined feel expected from a premium wine glass.
The collection is, however, machine-made and designed for professional use as well. The glass is made from lead-free crystal and is dishwasher safe.
It is, of course, still a fine crystal glass. It is not unbreakable and should be handled appropriately, particularly because of its generous bowl and slender stem.
Its delicate appearance does not mean it has to stay in a cabinet and be used only a few times a year.
Is a premium glass for Pinot Noir worth it?
If Pinot Noir is something you drink only rarely and you simply need an elegant glass for serving wine, there are more basic and affordable alternatives.
If you drink it regularly and appreciate the wine's aromas, the feel of a fine rim and the presentation of the table, a dedicated glass begins to make sense.
QUATROPHIL combines a generous bowl, thin walls, fine rim, pulled stem and lead-free crystal in a model designed around the wine-drinking experience.
You are not simply choosing a 710ml glass, but a shape selected for the way you want to experience the wine.
Why is it sold in multiples of 6?
The price is displayed per piece so that the value of each glass can be calculated and compared easily. The product is sold in multiples of 6 pieces.
At home, six glasses form a complete set for family, friends or guests. Rather than seeing six pieces only as a minimum quantity, they can be considered a complete premium set for Pinot Noir and aromatic red wines.
For restaurants, hotels, wine bars and professional wine service, units of six also make stock replenishment easier and help maintain a consistent table presentation.
For home or HoReCa use?
Both.
At home, the QUATROPHIL Burgundy is ideal for anyone looking for a glass that makes a visual statement through its proportions while remaining refined and elegant, particularly for Pinot Noir and other fine red wines.
In professional settings, its tasting-oriented shape and premium presentation make it suitable for restaurants, hotels, wine bars, sommeliers, wine tastings and venues where the way wine is served forms part of the guest experience.
Refined enough for a premium table setting and practical enough for both home and professional wine service.
QUATROPHIL or POWER – which should I choose?
Both are STÖLZLE collections, but the right choice can depend on the style of glass you prefer.
QUATROPHIL focuses on a fine and elegant appearance, with thin walls, a delicate rim and a pulled stem. It is a strong choice when visual refinement and the tasting experience are priorities.
POWER may appeal more to those looking for a bolder and more contemporary design.
There is no single correct answer for everyone. The wines you drink, your table style and whether you prefer a finer or more expressive design are more useful criteria than simply choosing a collection by name.
Care and cleaning
The QUATROPHIL glass is dishwasher safe.
Because of its large bowl, fine walls and long stem, we recommend positioning the glasses carefully in the dishwasher and leaving enough space between them to prevent contact during the washing cycle.
Avoid abrasive sponges and contact with hard objects that could scratch the crystal surface.

Frequently asked questions
What type of wine glass is best for Pinot Noir?
Pinot Noir is generally well suited to a Burgundy-style glass with a broad, generous bowl that gives the wine room to aerate and its aromas space to develop. The QUATROPHIL Burgundy 710ml is designed around this principle.
Is the QUATROPHIL Burgundy 710ml suitable for Pinot Noir?
Yes. Pinot Noir is one of the classic wines for which the Burgundy shape is particularly well suited, thanks to its broad bowl and the space it provides for aromatic development.
Is it only for wines from Burgundy?
No. It can be used for Pinot Noir and other wines suited to this type of bowl regardless of the region or country in which they were produced.
Why is it 710ml when much less wine is actually served?
710ml is the total capacity, not the recommended serving size. The empty space allows the wine to be swirled, interact with air and develop its aromas inside the bowl.
What is the difference between the QUATROPHIL Burgundy 710ml and Bordeaux 645ml?
The Burgundy has a very generous bowl and is oriented towards fine, aromatic wines such as Pinot Noir. The Bordeaux is better suited to structured wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Bordeaux blends.
For Cabernet Sauvignon, should I choose Burgundy or Bordeaux?
For Cabernet Sauvignon, the QUATROPHIL Bordeaux 645ml is generally the more appropriate choice. The Burgundy 710ml is primarily oriented towards Pinot Noir and wines with a similar aromatic profile.
Is it a good first premium set of red wine glasses?
Yes, if you frequently drink Pinot Noir and fine, aromatic red wines. If you prefer Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and more structured wines, the Bordeaux model may be a more suitable starting point.
Is it suitable for home use or only for restaurants?
Both. It is designed for professional use, but its elegant shape and 6-piece purchase format also make it an excellent choice for the home table and regular use.
Is it very fragile because the walls and stem are so fine?
It is a fine crystal glass and is not unbreakable, so it should be handled with care. However, QUATROPHIL is a machine-made collection designed to combine a delicate appearance with the functionality required for real-world use.
Can it be washed in the dishwasher?
Yes. It is dishwasher safe. Because of the large bowl and fine stem, we recommend leaving sufficient space between glasses to prevent them from touching during washing.
Is it worth buying if I only drink Pinot Noir occasionally?
If you value a specialised glass, the wine experience and table presentation, it can be worthwhile. If you drink Pinot Noir very rarely and want only one type of glass for all wines, a universal wine glass may be the more practical choice.
