Vigneron Series | Cru (6 / 12 / 18 tubes)

All Grassl glasses are crafted from lead-free crystal. The glass is processed to be balanced, light and durable. Multiple heating & cooling cycles and tempering the mouth will give you the highest glass quality.

An oxy-fueled fired furnace melts glassmaking sand, soda, dolomite, potassium, potassium oxide and recycled glass. This 1700°C hot, lead-free molten mass resembles the composition of pure rock crystal.

Clean Grassl glasses by handwashing with warm water and a tiny amount of odourless dish soap, focusing on removing wine residue immediately to prevent stains. Rinse thoroughly, air dry, and polish with a lint-free microfiber cloth (like the Grassl Polishing Cloth) to maintain clarity.

Avoid extreme heat and harsh chemicals to protect the fragile crystal.

Handwashing Steps:
Rinse with warm water after use to prevent stains.
Use a small amount of odourless soap and a soft, non-abrasive sponge.
Use lukewarm water to ensure all detergent is removed.
Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.

Polishing & Care Techniques:
To remove water spots, wet the glass, then use a polishing cloth to dry, holding the bowl while rotating the cloth inside.

Avoid Damage:
Never twist the bowl and stem in opposite directions to prevent breakage.

Storage:
Store in a dry area to prevent mould/odours, ideally in a protected case.

Vinegar Fix:
Use a mixture of water and white vinegar for stubborn stains.

Dishwasher Use:
If using a dishwasher, select a low-temperature cycle (under
45C or 113F) designed for glassware.
Ensure the machine has appropriate salt and rinse aid, and ensure glasses are securely placed without touching other items.

CRU is a versatile red wine glass. It is tuned to highlight the lifted aromas of single varietal & terroir driven wines and while it performs well with any red wine, there is really one standout variety.

It's design means that it is absolutely exceptional with Pinot Noir.

Our quality checks are meticulous and only the very best stems will make it into the customer's hands. All glasses that do not pass the inspections are 100% recyclable without a loss in purity and quality.

Surface vs Opening
Combination of a large surface with the convex walls towards the opening is ideal for delicate and balanced wines of medium to high complexity.

Pulled Stem
Made in one continuous piece of glass. More resistant to breakage.

Stability & Balance
Large base keeps the glass stable on uneven surfaces.
Acts as a counter weight to balance the overall glass.
