Bordeaux Wine Glasses at Glassware UK
A Bordeaux glass is the classic choice for full-bodied red wine. Its tall bowl gives big reds room to breathe, while the slightly narrower rim directs the wine to the back of the mouth, softening tannins and bringing out the fruit.
Choose from Stolzle Quatrophil and Experience, Murray, Edge, Mode, Invitation and Primetime Bordeaux glasses from 505ml to 700ml, sold singly or in sets. Compare them with our Burgundy glasses, browse all red wine glasses or add a wine decanter.
Which wines suit a Bordeaux glass?
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Shiraz, Rioja and other bold, tannic reds all shine in a Bordeaux glass. For lighter, more aromatic reds such as Pinot Noir, a wider Burgundy bowl works better. Our guide Which Glass for Which Drink? explains the difference.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Bordeaux and a Burgundy glass?
A Bordeaux glass is taller with a straighter bowl, made for full-bodied reds. A Burgundy glass has a wider, rounder balloon bowl that gathers the delicate aromas of lighter reds.
What size Bordeaux glass should I buy?
Most Bordeaux glasses hold 500ml to 700ml. A standard 175ml or 250ml pour only fills a third of the bowl, leaving plenty of space for the wine to open up.
Are Bordeaux glasses dishwasher safe?
Many of our Bordeaux glasses are dishwasher safe, and the care details are listed on each product page. For crystal, cut, gold-rimmed or decorated pieces we recommend hand washing in warm, soapy water.
