At SPIEGELAU, we believe every beverage deserves to be served in an attractive, affordable glass that delivers a high level of performance for the user - be it a beer glass, a wine glass, a cocktail glass, or any other drinking vessel. However, with such a wide range of glassware available, it can take time to identify the SPIEGELAU collection that best fits your needs - especially if you're new to our glassware.

Fortunately, we're on hand to point you in the right direction so you can quickly identify the most suitable SPIEGELAU glassware for you. Read on as we cover the best SPIEGELAU options to accommodate all tastes.

For the wine lover

We may cater to lovers of all drinks, but wine glasses are where we offer the widest selection of options. We have collections to satisfy wine enthusiasts at all stages of their wine journey and for lovers of all styles of wine.

Premium wine glass collections

  • If you're an experienced wine enthusiast with a taste for the finer things, our SPIEGELAU Definition and SPIEGELAU Hi-Lite Collections are sure to satisfy you. Precision-made with advanced machine glassmaking technology, these are our two premier glassware collections, featuring feather-light glassware weighing as little as 120g per glass.
  • Experienced wine lovers may also want to consider our SPIEGELAU Authentis Collection, which for years has symbolized authentic wine enjoyment. The Spiegelau Authentis Collection turns the spotlight on the individual character of the wine, allowing its full sensory impact to come to the fore, which is underlined by this collection receiving a Certificate of Excellence from the German Sommeliers Association.

Intermediary wine glass collections

  • Suppose you’re not quite a wine know-it-all, but you don’t consider yourself a total novice either. We have collections that are perfect for bridging the gap between newbie and expert – most notably our Spiegelau Lifestyle and Spiegelau Style collections.
  • SPIEGELAU Lifestyle defies the conventional contrastings against our usual wine glass design, with a modern diamond shape heightened by a sophisticated linear texture. SPIEGELAU Lifestyle isn't just for wine; with beer, cocktail, tumbler, and long drink glasses also available, this collection is ideal if you want to maintain a uniform style across all glassware in your cupboard.
  • If you enjoy the diamond shape of our Lifestyle series but prefer a crystal clear surface to a textured one, you'll love SPIEGELAU Style. The contemporary, stripped-down aesthetic of SPIEGELAU Style makes it suitable for a wide range of table concepts so that you can enjoy this series to your heart's content.

Entry-level wine glass collections

  • Looking for a wine glass collection to kickstart your wine journey? SPIEGELAU Winelovers is the perfect introductory collection to opt for - especially if you enjoy a classic, minimalist style. This series displays a classic stemmed goblet across all glasses, so you'll fall head over heels if you want a traditional, uncompromising design from your wine glasses.

For the beer connoisseur

While wine rightly receives specialized glassware, beer is all too often relegated to being drunk from the same generic pint glass regardless of what beer style it is. At Spiegelau, we recognize that, like wine, beers benefit from glasses that showcase their unique qualities and characteristics. We use two main beer-centric glassware series to deliver the goods for craft beers that have surged in popularity in the 21st century and for old favorites that have stood the test of time.

  • Our Spiegelau Craft Beer Collection serves up four craft beer-specific glasses, allowing you to get the most out of your favorite IPA, stout, wheat beer, or barrel-aged beer. We partnered with leading breweries to develop and deliver each glass from the series, ensuring you get a product with the seal of approval from leading industry experts, that will take your craft beer enjoyment to new heights.
  • Spiegelau Beer Classics cater to lovers of beers that have been longtime favorites. Despite the emergence of craft beers in the 21st century, some beers have remained popular across the decades and are equally deserving of a glass that allows them to shine brightest. The Spiegelau Beer Classics series features contemporary, finely-blown bowls and rims that lift the perception of mouth feel and taste and regulate temperature, bringing various ales and lagers into the 21st century in a functional manner.

For mixologists

If you're after glassware to satisfy your cocktail-making needs, our SPIEGELAU Perfect Serve Collection is the number one choice, whether you’re a professional bartender or a stay-at-home mixologist. Developed in partnership with award-winning bartender Stephen Hinz - owner of Little Link Bar in Cologne, Germany, Perfect Serve has a glass for every cocktail, which is no surprise as this series was designed to cater to the demands of a modern bar. So, whether your go-to tipple is an Old Fashioned, a Manhatten, a Daquiri, a Mojito, or anything else, you can find the perfect glass from this stunning barware collection.

If you prefer to keep things a little simpler with your cocktail glassware, consider our SPIEGELAU Lounge 2.0 Collection. This series delivers robust, durable glassware that allows you to enjoy cocktails suited to old-fashioned and long-drink glasses. With two different whisky tumblers available as part of the series, Spiegelau Lounge 2.0 glasses are also a great choice if you enjoy sipping your spirits neat to unwind at the end of a long week!
