Glassware That Enhances Every Pour: How to Choose the Right Wine Glass
At Max & Russ, we believe the right glass can elevate the entire wine experience. The Grand Cru Collection by Rosendahl captures the Danish ideal of functional beauty—where each curve and contour serves a purpose. If you’ve ever wondered which wine glass to use when, let this be your guide. Whether you’re sipping red, white, or celebrating with bubbles, there’s a Grand Cru glass designed to make every sip taste better.
Each piece in the collection is dishwasher safe, crystal clear, and ergonomically shaped, offering everyday elegance with professional-level performance. Here’s how to choose the perfect one.
1. For Rich Reds: Grand Cru Red Wine Glass – 15.2 Oz
Full-bodied reds need room to breathe, and this glass delivers. Its generous bowl (15.2 oz) gives space for the wine to aerate, while the gently narrowing rim concentrates the aromas, guiding them right to the nose.
Why it works: Oxygen is essential in releasing the layered aromas of wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. The wide silhouette of this glass helps soften tannins and bring fruit and earthy notes forward.
Design details: With a height of 8.9" and a soft taper, it looks modern yet timeless. It’s ideal for hosting, pairing beautifully with hearty meals or cozy evenings in.
Best for: Red wine lovers who appreciate a bold pour and a refined experience.

2. For Crisp Whites: Grand Cru White Wine Glass – 10.8 Oz
Lighter wines call for a more streamlined glass. The Grand Cru White Wine Glass offers a 10.8 oz bowl—slightly smaller, more upright, and perfect for preserving freshness.
Why it works: This shape reduces surface area, helping to keep your white wines cooler longer while also directing bright, delicate aromas—like citrus, green apple, or florals—toward the nose.
Design details: At 8.7" tall, its silhouette pairs beautifully with chilled Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and unoaked Chardonnay. The subtle taper keeps flavor notes focused without sacrificing style.
Best for: Everyday sipping, aperitifs, or pairing with lighter fare like seafood and salads.

3. For Celebrations: Grand Cru Champagne Glass – 8.1 Oz
Sparkling wine deserves a glass that celebrates its sparkle. The Grand Cru Champagne Glass features a tall, elegant stem and a slim, tulip-shaped bowl that holds 8.1 oz—just the right amount for a festive pour.
Why it works: The narrow bowl keeps bubbles intact longer than traditional coupe glasses while the slightly flared rim opens up complex aromas found in finer champagnes.
Design details: Standing 9.1" tall with a 2.8" diameter, it’s a graceful, refined addition to your table. Whether you’re toasting with Champagne, Cava, or sparkling rosé, this glass enhances every note—from crisp citrus to brioche-like richness.
Best for: Special occasions, toasts, and sparkling moments big or small.
