Spiegelau Definition Collection — A 19 oz Lead-Free Crystal Universal Wine Glass for Red, White, and Sparkling, Set of 2
The Spiegelau Definition Universal Wine Glass is the one-glass solution in Spiegelau’s Definition Collection — a 19 oz conical tulip designed to perform equally well with full-bodied reds, crisp whites, and sparkling wines without the compromise of a generic all-purpose glass. The shape is a clean modern cone: a wide rounded lower bowl that tapers steeply inward and upward to a significantly narrowed upper body before opening slightly at the rim. At 9.3 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide, the glass is the most upright and contained shape in the Definition lineup — smaller and more focused than the Bordeaux (26 oz) and Burgundy (34 oz), purpose-built for households that don’t want to manage style-specific stemware for every variety. The stem is the characteristic Definition hairline — extremely long and fine relative to the bowl, keeping the hand away from the wine.
One Glass for Red, White, and Sparkling — 19 oz Lead-Free Crystal, 1,500-Cycle Dishwasher Rated, Made in Germany
-
Conical tulip bowl calibrated for red, white, and sparkling equally — the Definition Universal’s steep inward taper concentrates aromatics from the wide lower bowl to the narrower upper opening, which works for both the fruit-forward aromatics of a red and the delicate floral or mineral notes of a white; the 19 oz capacity keeps a standard 4–5 oz pour in the lower rounded section where it can breathe, with the tapered upper body channeling aromatics upward; the slight rim opening allows bubbles to surface cleanly in sparkling wines without the aggressive taper that would suppress carbonation; use it for Cabernet, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Prosecco, or any everyday wine variety
-
9.3" tall, 3.5" wide, 562 ml — the compact powerhouse of the Definition series — the Universal is the smallest and most storage-friendly glass in the Definition collection; at 9.3 inches it is tall enough to read as a fine-stemmed wine glass at the table, but the 3.5-inch bowl width makes it less spatially demanding than the Burgundy’s wide angular bowl; two glasses store comfortably without the footprint concern of the larger shapes; the long fine Definition stem keeps hand heat from transferring to the bowl; the ultralight lead-free crystal is balanced enough to hold at the stem without feeling top-heavy
-
Dishwasher safe through 1,500 cycles — Spiegelau’s Platinum Glass process, 500 years of German craftsmanship — fine crystal at this quality level is typically hand-wash-only; the Definition glasses are certified dishwasher safe without hazing, scratching, or loss of brilliance across 1,500 cycles; the Platinum Glass process produces seamless, lead-free crystal that combines the optical clarity of traditional crystal with practical durability for daily use; Spiegelau has supplied the high-end hospitality trade for 500 years; the Universal pairs with the Definition Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne shapes for a complete coordinated table
