      The Josephinenhütte Josephine No. 2 Universal Wine Glass is a masterwork of mouth-blown crystal, specifically engineered to act as a versatile sensory vessel for a vast spectrum of wine styles. Designed by the legendary Kurt Josef Zalto, this glass features a distinctive "kink" in the bowl that serves a critical functional role by increasing the surface area for rapid oxygen exchange. This structural fold allows the wine to breathe more efficiently than traditional curved bowls, making it equally adept at softening the tannins of a robust red or highlighting the delicate aromatics of a nuanced white.

      Each piece is handcrafted by European artisans using high-quality, lead-free crystal that is characterized by its remarkable thinness and surprising elasticity. The ultra-slender stem and minimal weight create a weightless feel in the hand, reducing the barrier between the taster and the liquid. The bowl's geometry is precisely calculated to concentrate the bouquet toward the rim, ensuring that even subtle secondary and tertiary notes are discernible. This universal design is intended to simplify the professional tasting experience without compromising the integrity of the wine's profile. As a 6-pack set, it provides a cohesive and high-performance solution for enthusiasts who appreciate the convenience of a single, world-class glass for various varietals.

      Trusted by the professionals

      The Josephine Universal is a really interesting glass. It’s light, it’s thin, and it has this extraordinary shape with the kink. It’s very impressive to hold and to drink from, and it certainly seems to work for a wide range of wines.

      The top-rated glass by far was the new design from Kurt Josef Zalto, the ‘Josephine No. 2’.

      Josephinenhütte

      Josephinenhütte was born from a simple conviction: that the glass you drink from changes everything.

      Revived in 2019 by three friends who shared a deep appreciation for traditional craftsmanship, the brand takes its name from a legendary Silesian glassworks founded in 1842, once among the most significant glass manufacturers in Europe and the New World. Almost two centuries later, that spirit of innovation has been reborn.

      The creative mind behind every piece is Kurt Josef Zalto, a glass designer in the sixth generation. For decades he studied the influence of shape and material on the flavour of wine, driven by a single vision: to create the finest sensory wine glass possible. The result is the Josephine Collection, his masterpiece.

      Every glass is mouth-blown by skilled artisans in a European glass hut, shaped through numerous stages requiring extraordinary precision and concentration. The stem is drawn by hand with pliers, the base formed with specialised scissors in a single rotational movement. No two pieces are identical. Each one is a sculpture.
