Created for exceptional red wines
The STEM ZERO collection by NUDE is one of the world's most respected premium wine glass collections. Developed for fine dining restaurants, luxury hotels, wine bars and professional sommeliers, it combines innovative manufacturing technology with the elegance and finesse traditionally associated with handmade crystal.
The VOLCANO 1000 ml model has been specifically designed for full-bodied, complex red wines that require generous aeration to reveal their complete aromatic profile.
Stem Zero Technology
Exclusive Stem Zero Technology allows NUDE to produce remarkably lightweight crystal glasses with ultra-thin bowls and stems while maintaining the strength required for professional hospitality.
The result is a wine glass that feels almost weightless in the hand while delivering the consistency and precision of advanced manufacturing.
The VOLCANO bowl – engineered for maximum aeration
The distinctive VOLCANO bowl features a broad base that dramatically increases the wine's contact with oxygen, encouraging rapid opening and allowing complex aromas to evolve naturally.
The gently narrowing upper section concentrates the bouquet towards the nose, creating a richer, more expressive tasting experience with every sip.
Why does a red wine glass hold 1000 ml?
The impressive capacity is not intended to be filled completely. During professional wine service only a small amount of wine is poured, while the remaining space allows proper oxygenation and the full development of aromas.
This glass is especially recommended for:
- Cabernet Sauvignon;
- Cabernet Franc;
- Merlot;
- Syrah / Shiraz;
- Malbec;
- Nebbiolo;
- Sangiovese;
- Tempranillo Reserva;
- Bordeaux blends;
- Brunello di Montalcino;
- Amarone della Valpolicella.
More oxygen, softer tannins, greater complexity
The generous oxygenation surface allows the wine to open more quickly, revealing secondary and tertiary aromas while helping tannins become smoother and more integrated.
For many mature wines or wines served by the glass, the large bowl significantly accelerates aeration and may reduce the need for prolonged decanting.
Premium lead-free crystal
Crafted from high-quality lead-free crystal, the glass offers exceptional brilliance and transparency, beautifully showcasing the colour and clarity of every wine.
The ultra-thin laser-finished rim creates a smooth, natural drinking experience, allowing the wine to flow effortlessly onto the palate while keeping the focus entirely on flavour and aroma.
Chosen by fine dining professionals
The STEM ZERO collection is appreciated by numerous fine dining restaurants, luxury hotels and wine bars thanks to its feather-light construction, outstanding balance and exceptional tasting performance.
Its minimalist NUDE design ensures that the wine—not the glass—remains the centre of attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this red wine glass so large?
The 1000 ml capacity is designed to maximise aeration rather than increase the serving size. During tasting, only around 100–150 ml of wine is poured, leaving ample space for aromas to develop fully.
Can it replace a decanter?
Not entirely. However, for many wines served by the glass, the generous bowl significantly accelerates oxygenation and can reduce the need for extended decanting.

Stem Zero Technology is NUDE's exclusive manufacturing process that produces exceptionally lightweight crystal glasses with ultra-thin stems and bowls while maintaining excellent durability for professional use.
Which wines is it best suited for?
It is ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Nebbiolo, Amarone, Brunello, Bordeaux blends and other full-bodied red wines that benefit from generous aeration before tasting.
