About this product
Spiegelau Willsberger Anniversary Collection — A 22.4 oz Bordeaux Glass with a Rounded Bowl and Pinched Shoulder, Set of 4
The Spiegelau Willsberger Anniversary Bordeaux Wine Glasses are part of Spiegelau’s most heritage-forward collection — a line inspired by a hand-blown range produced for over 30 years and now recreated using modern German crystal production techniques. The shape is architecturally distinctive: a large, full, rounded lower bowl — nearly pear-shaped in profile — that transitions through a sharp pinch at the shoulder into a tall, narrowed upper chimney before opening slightly at the rim. That pinched shoulder is the defining visual feature of the Willsberger Bordeaux and sets it apart from more gradually tapered Bordeaux glasses; it acts as an aeration point, channeling the wine’s aromatics through the narrowed upper chimney and concentrating them at the nose. At 22.4 oz the rounded lower bowl provides generous capacity for aeration and swirling, while the tall focused chimney directs structure and tannin to the back of the palate in the Bordeaux glass tradition.
- A rounded bowl and pronounced pinched shoulder — the Willsberger Bordeaux shape in the hand-blown tradition — the defining characteristic of this glass is the sharp architectural pinch at the shoulder, where the generous rounded lower bowl narrows suddenly before the tall upper chimney rises above it; this pinch is a deliberate design feature that concentrates and focuses the wine’s aromatics as it moves from the aeration bowl to the delivery chimney; the overall effect is more sculptural and visually dramatic than a standard Bordeaux taper; the shape suits full-bodied, tannic red wines — Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux blends, Merlot, Malbec, Tempranillo — where a generous bowl for aeration and a focused delivery are both desirable; the large rounded bowl allows vigorous swirling to open complex reds before each sip
- Hand-blown-inspired shape made with modern German crystal precision — 30+ years of design heritage in a dishwasher-safe glass — the Willsberger Anniversary collection was developed to capture the organic, sculptural quality of Spiegelau’s original hand-blown range, including this Bordeaux’s characteristic rounded bowl and pronounced shoulder pinch; Spiegelau now produces these shapes using modern controlled glassmaking that replicates the curves consistently at scale; the result is a glass that reads as artisan at the table without the fragility and cost of true hand-blown crystal; certified dishwasher safe despite the heritage aesthetic; pairs with the Willsberger Anniversary White Wine glass for a coordinated red and white table; the Anniversary collection also includes Champagne, fortified wine, and Martini shapes
- Set of 4, 22.4 oz — full table coverage in Spiegelau’s gift-ready Willsberger Anniversary packaging — the set of 4 covers a dinner table for four and ships in Spiegelau’s signature red and white branded gift box with the Willsberger Anniversary name on the front, ready to give without additional wrapping; 22.4 oz per glass means a generous 5–6 oz pour sits in the lower rounded bowl with substantial airspace above for aeration; the long fine stem keeps hand heat away from the bowl during service; dishwasher safe and engineered for repeated daily use; a strong wedding, anniversary, housewarming, or host gift for red wine drinkers
Bordeaux and Cabernet Wine Glasses for Full-Bodied Reds — Set of 4 for Entertaining and Wine Gifts
The Willsberger Anniversary collection is Spiegelau’s most characterful line — the one with the most visible design heritage at the table. The Bordeaux glass is the red wine centerpiece of the collection: the rounded bowl and pinched shoulder make it immediately recognizable and visually distinct from any other red wine glass in the Spiegelau lineup.
