This tall and large glass allows for the heavier aromatic molecules to be freed and noticed, thanks to the “chimney” effect, which helps achieve an enhanced intensity of flavour. The towering shape directs the wine to the back part of the palate — naturally more sensitive to taste — while also preventing the wine from centring on the teeth and gums, avoiding undesirable tannin astringency. The significant amount of wine poured on the back part of the tongue creates a perception of mellowness and depth, characteristic of powerful red wines.
The NUDE Stem Zero collection is the world’s toughest, yet incredibly fine lead-free crystal range — made using our ‘Ion Shielding’ Technology.
Crafted from Lead-free Crystal by hand, the Stem Zero Powerful Red Wine Glass stands 9 2/4 inch tall with a diameter of 2 1/2 inch and holds 18.5 oz. Care: Dishwasher safe.

Ion Shielding Technology
chniques, NUDE has employed a special surface modification technology based on ion-exchange process which suppresses the micro-fissures that cause glass to crack.
The larger ions, incorporated into the glass’ surface structure by replacing the smaller ions, cause strains, form compressive stress and make the glasses more robust and more suitable for everyday use.
Proven by Strength Tests

Frequently Asked Questions
Ion shielding is a surface treatment applied to Stem Zero and Ghost Zero glasses after production. Ions are exchanged within the glass surface under high temperature, creating a permanent compression layer that dramatically increases resistance to impact, bending and thermal shock — without altering the glass's clarity, weight or feel.
Stem Zero combines the brilliance and thinness of premium lead-free crystal with ion-shielding technology that makes each glass up to 8.5 times more resistant to breakage than standard crystal — and significantly more flexible under impact. Independent tests performed to DIN52295 / EN12980:2000 standards confirm 35% stronger bowl impact resistance and 2× stronger stem impact resistance. The result is a glass that looks and feels luxurious and is far more resilient than standard crystal — though as with all fine glassware, it should still be handled with care.
Both collections share the same ion-shielding technology and lead-free crystal composition. Ghost Zero takes it a step further in terms of lightness — these glasses are exceptionally fine, weighing around 100 grams or less, making them feel almost weightless in the hand. Light as a feather, without compromising strength or brilliance.
No. The ion shielding process creates a permanent structural change within the glass surface — it is not a coating that can wear, chip or wash off. Your glass retains its enhanced strength throughout its lifetime.
Yes. Thanks to the ion-shielding technology, both Stem Zero and Ghost Zero glasses are fully dishwasher safe without compromising their clarity, brilliance or structural integrity over time.
Stem Zero and Ghost Zero glasses are dishwasher safe, but for best results use a gentle cycle at low temperature and avoid overcrowding the rack. If hand washing, use warm water and a mild detergent, then dry immediately with a lint-free cloth to prevent water marks.
Store glasses upright in a clean, dry cabinet away from strong odours. Avoid stacking or nesting glasses, as this can cause chipping even on ion-shielded crystal. For long-term storage, keep them in their original packaging.
Each glass shape is designed to enhance specific grape varieties and styles. Our Vertigo range offers a curated selection of shapes suited to different wine types — from aromatic whites to full-bodied reds and sparkling wines. The Volcano makes a striking design statement while delivering exceptional performance. Trio is a universally elegant choice with a super-fine stem, ideal for everyday use. Grace, inspired by the timeless icon Grace Kelly, brings a beautifully feminine silhouette to the table.
The shape of a wine glass directly influences how aromas and flavours are delivered. A wider bowl allows more oxygen contact, opening up fuller-bodied reds, while a narrower bowl concentrates the delicate aromas of aromatic whites. The rim diameter and taper guide the wine to the right part of the palate, making shape one of the most important factors in the tasting experience.
Absolutely. The thinner the rim, the less you feel the glass and the more directly the wine reaches your palate — allowing aromas, texture and flavour to express themselves fully and without interruption. This is why NUDE crystal is crafted to be as fine as technically possible. As we like to say: nothing comes between me and my wine.
