Stolzle For Life: It All Starts with The Guest

3/2/2021

 
Picture
Our Experience Collection
When we speak about the concept of “Stolzle For Life” it all starts with our guest or the consumer.
​
Whenever a beverage is enjoyed from a Stolzle glass, we want that beverage, that overall experience, to be truly an enjoyable and memorable experience. Studies have shown that drinking wine in moderation improves the overall quality of life. At Stolzle, we want that life to be the best that it can be. That is the reason that we design performance into every glass we make.

Making high-performance glassware requires both a talented design group and an equally talented manufacturing team for the critical execution of the performance-oriented designs. At Stolzle, we utilize our 130+ years of glassware manufacturing knowledge and experience to make sure that each glass shape delivers on its all of its promises.
Picture
​A great example is our Experience collection. Originally, the range was designed initially a riesling-specific range with four glasses, covering the variety of tastes of this special type of wine. However, the design and functionality of these glasses proved to be so excellent that many people did not want to waive the overall performance and special experience with other types of wine. Therefore, the originally-named Riesling collection was extended and re-named Experience. Experience is still today the number one choice for Riesling lovers.

While delivering on performance, the machine pulled stem design of Experience both impresses with its elegant, stylish shape and its elevated levels of functionality. Today, our Experience collection has expanded and now includes a full range of stemmed wine glasses and a variety of tumblers to match.

Performance, plus style and functionality – a winning combination that has always been a part of the Stolzle Glassware tradition.

Approachable. Affordable. Available.

#StolzleForLife

One year after the opening of its sales office in Cognac, new from our sister company - Stoelzle Glass Group - that it is getting closer to its spirits customers by opening a dedicated production line in its French factory in Masnières, located near Cambrai. This line will be operational in early March 2021 and will manufacture decanters and bottles for premium spirits. The glass will be extra white with 5 to 10% PCR (recycled glass). The Group thus intends to reduce its carbon footprint by having a factory closer to its customers.

The Masnières site provides the market with its know-how in the manufacture of fine bottles for high-end perfumery and cosmetics. Stoelzle Masnières adheres to ISO 9001 standards and takes advantage of a decoration site with all the main finishing techniques.

CAPERS Home - Great Partnering with Great People

1/22/2021

CAPERS Home Store - Seattle
“The strength of both our product line and overall brand makes it easy for us to work with a very broad range of distribution," says VP of Retail & Consumer Mark Roland. "But there's really nothing quite like partnering with a great specialty retailer who, like Stolzle, has built their relationship with a very loyal clientele."
​CAPERS Home, in the heart of west Seattle is one of those great small retailers. Owner Lisa Myers and her team at Capers are known throughout the region as the go-to place for furniture, home décor and, of course – great glassware from Stolzle.
​
"W
e love Stoelzle for their great quality, variety of styles, great value pricing for German glass, and their quick shipping from West Coast stock – all things that allow us to make the brand special," comments Myers.
Picture
​And the love goes both ways as local Stolzle sales representative Sid Hoagland loves the responsiveness that comes from partnering with specialty accounts like CAPERS Home. ​​

"CAPERS Home is a great example of a local fashion retailer who understands their customer, and isn’t afraid to go beyond the internet to present top quality products in a well merchandised, coordinated, easy to shop environment," says Hoagland. "As one of her customers told me this week, “this is retail therapy – I can’t get this sense of fun shopping on a computer'."
Picture
Our OLYMPIA Collection is a favorite at CAPERS Home
.With a sophisticated lifestyle approach to its products and willingness to work with local sales representatives, this gift and casual furniture retailer is the perfect partner for the Stolzle brand. And, as a result, CAPERS Home carries a full lineup of Stolzle products including wine glass stems, cocktail and bar items, along with accessories and specialty gift items. The Stolzle quality and approachability story - along with our easy-to-sell gift boxing, fits in perfectly with the overall CAPERS Home mission.

That mission to “find well priced interesting products with an array of price points and to give great customer service and give back to the community” was stated by owner Myers a number of years ago and it still holds true today.

CAPERS Home offers its customers a wide selection of Stolzle wine glasses, barware, and decanters & accessories.
Like most retail operators during the pandemic, Capers has had to be flexible in how it ensures that their shoppers remain safe. With shopper safety and customer service at the forefront, Capers has set up early morning private shopping sessions for their customers and personal shopping via Apple’s Facetime. Shoppers can schedule an appointment and have someone on the store staff guide them through their own personal private shopping experience.
None of this should be a big surprise as listening to and reaching out to the community and her customers has guided CAPERS Home for years. The store has supported local schools, the Hickman House transitional shelter, Northwest Hope and Healing, West Seattle Food bank, Mary’s Place, and many other local non-profits. Supporting local is what CAPERS Home is all about whether it comes to supporting local artisans or local philanthropy causes.
​
The bottom line is that If you’re looking for great glassware or home furniture and decor to last a lifetime, CAPERS Home sells quality goods that will fill your space with joy. And they do it all by prioritizing fair-trade, handmade goods, CAPERS Home is invested in knowing the stories behind their products.

​Great products from great people.

Our New STARlight Collection Stars in Latest Tableware International

1/5/2021

 
Picture
We love a great story – especially when it includes us and one of our hottest new products - our STARlight collection of wine glasses! In their latest issue, Tableware International magazine published a great profile and interview with our Export Manager Jan Zschiesche.

“Stölzle Lausitz wanted to take a further step into a new dimension of producing pulled stems. The aim was machine-made glass that comes very close to mouthblown glass,” says Jan, talking about the STARlight collection – a series notable for its remarkable thinness, despite being machine-made.

“The stem has a diameter that is about ten percent smaller than that of conventional machine-made glasses,” Jan reveals. “And the goblet also has a noticeably thinner wall thickness compared to other glasses from machine production. In this way the STARlight series combines lightness with extraordinary elegance. They are perfect for high-end gastronomy, 5-star hotels and, of course, luxury wines.”

STARlight touches all the bases of performance, approachability, design and, of course, functionality.
Simply put – all this adds up to more wine enjoyment!

While we are already very proud of our newest star – the STARlight Collection wine glass series – we know we have only just begun with this new and exciting series. For those who love wine like we do, STARlight is a perfect option to help you enjoy your favorite wine.

EXPERIENCE: Your Wine at Its Very Best

1/3/2021

 
Picture
We love great articles on wine and spirits, especially if they’re educational and encourage us to try new regions or new varietals. Here’s a great article from Liquor.com on white wines covering key topics such as how it made and the most important varietals.

But we would add that the glass you drink your white wine from is almost as important as the wine itself. After all, if you go through the process of learning and then, selecting a specific white wine you will definitely want to taste and enjoy that wine at its very best!

Our EXPERIENCE collection was originally designed to do exactly that – to bring out the best in white wines. The range was initially a Riesling range with four glasses, which cover the variety of tastes of this special type of wine. Design and functionality of these glasses proved to be so excellent that many people didn't want to waive the special experience with other types of wine – both white and red. Therefore, the collection was extended and name of the collection became EXPERIENCE.

The machine pulled stem glasses impress with their elegant and stylish shape combined with a high wine performance. The combination of sweeping curves and clear tapering contributes to an ideal wine consumption. The deep sculpted larger circumference of the bowl tapers funnel-shaped into the pulled stem, thus creating both durable elegance and a high stability.

So, as you carefully learn about and choose your white wine, make sure you also select the right glass. Our EXPERIENCE collection is a high-performance wine glass series meant to showcase all the nuanced flavors of each grape at their very best!

Starting The New Year in Style!

12/27/2020

 
Picture
With the New Year almost here, we remain excited and optimistic about the year ahead and, hopefully, you do as well.
It will be good to finally have this past year in our rear-view mirror. And, while our New Year's Eve celebrations may be a bit different this year, this year's celebrations may be our most important in quite some time. Certainly we all have much to be grateful for despite all the challenges we all have endured since the pandemic arrived at everyone's doorstep early in 2020. Let's all hope that 2021 brings good health and postive vibes in all areas to each of us.

To kick off all those positive vibes, amNY.com has a variety of suggestions for bringing in the New Year in style. We only have one major point of disagreement with their several great suggestions. Where is part ways with an otherwise solid list of suggestions is on the glassware for our bubbly chosen for the evening. May we kindly suggest you forego the $4 stems from Target and treat yourself well with one of the many fine Stolzle flute options.
Choosing just one of the Stolzle flutes options can, indeed, be a tough call, but the one that we will be using this year is one of our favorites - the Quatrophil Champagne Flute. The forward-looking design of the Quatrophil collection, combining with the generous 10.25 oz. pour of the Quatrophil Champagne Flute makes this choice hard to beat. And, there's no doubt that those lucky enough to be sharing the New Year's Eve celebration with you will definitely be impressed.

And, after all - isn't that what this evening is all about?
​Sharing - and caring - about those you are with.
​

So, we wish everyone a joyous and fantastic New Year's Eve celebration. But, let us also all remember to be grateful and very thankful for all the many blessings we have.

​From all of us at Stolzle, may 2021 bring you more happiness, good health and many more smiles!


Cheers to all!
