Spiegelau Definition Burgundy Crystal Wine Glasses, 34 oz, Set of 2

Spiegelau Definition Collection — A 34 oz Wide Angular Burgundy Bowl in Lead-Free Crystal, Set of 2

The Spiegelau Definition Burgundy Wine Glasses are the largest and most architecturally commanding shape in Spiegelau’s Definition Collection. Where the Definition Bordeaux uses a rounded, tapering tulip to focus structure and tannin, the Burgundy takes the opposite approach — a dramatically wide, nearly trapezoidal bowl with walls that rise outward and upward from a narrow base, then angle sharply inward at the shoulder to a tight, concentrated rim. That shape is specific to Pinot Noir and red Burgundy: the enormous bowl surface area maximizes oxygen contact and draws out the delicate, aromatic complexity of these wines, while the narrow rim funnels those aromatics directly to the nose with every sip. At 34 oz it is the largest glass in the Definition lineup.

• A wide angular bowl built specifically for Pinot Noir, red Burgundy, and delicate aromatic reds — the Burgundy shape is categorically different from a Bordeaux glass; a Bordeaux glass uses an upright, tapered bowl to focus tannin and direct a full-bodied red to the back of the palate; a Burgundy glass uses a wide, outward-flaring bowl to maximize surface area and draw out the fragile, volatile aromatics that Pinot Noir and Burgundy wines are known for; the sharp inward shoulder then channels those aromatics to the nose in a concentrated stream; the 34 oz capacity means a standard 4–5 oz pour sits in the very bottom of the bowl, surrounded by a large airspace that lets the wine breathe and express fully; use this glass for Pinot Noir, red and white Burgundy, Nebbiolo, Gamay, and any delicate aromatic red that benefits from maximum aeration
• Ultralight for its size — the Definition stem holds the 34 oz bowl in balance from two fingers — the Definition Burgundy is visually imposing but physically light; the lead-free crystal is drawn thin enough that the glass balances at the stem’s foot even when tilted nearly horizontal; the long hairline stem keeps the hand away from the bowl so body heat doesn’t warm the wine; the walls are thin throughout — there is minimal glass between the wine and the lip, which affects how cleanly the pour lands on the palate; this is the same material standard as Spiegelau’s professional hospitality supply, built for repeated daily use
• The widest glass in the Definition Collection — pairs with the Bordeaux, White Wine, and Champagne shapes for a complete table — the Definition series is designed as a coordinated set; the Burgundy (34 oz, wide angular bowl) is the red wine showpiece; the Bordeaux (26 oz, rounded tulip) handles Cabernet, Merlot, and full-bodied structured reds; the White Wine and Champagne shapes complete the table; all four shapes share the same long fine stem and flat wide foot for visual consistency; certified dishwasher safe — all shapes can go in together without hazing or loss of clarity over time

Pinot Noir and Red Burgundy Glasses for Serious Wine Drinkers, Home Bars, and Wine Gifts

The Definition Burgundy is the right glass for anyone who drinks Pinot Noir or Burgundy seriously and wants to experience what the shape actually does for those wines. The difference between a Burgundy bowl and a standard red wine glass is more pronounced for Pinot than for almost any other variety — the aromatics are delicate enough that the wide bowl makes a perceptible difference. A strong gift for wine enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone building a complete set of wine-specific stemware.
