Josephinenhütte
Visionäres Design & feinstes Handwerk: Jedes Glas von Josephinenhütte ist ein mundgeblasenes Unikat
INSPIRED BY THE HISTORICAL ART OF GLASSMAKING
Our role model: the former Josephinenhütte. A Silesian glassworks in the Sudeten Mountains, founded in 1842 by Count Leopold von Schaffgotsch and named after his beloved wife Josephine. The glassmaker Franz Pohl, head of Josephinenhütte, was a gifted creator and artistic pioneer who went beyond the boundaries of what was thought possible in glassmakin

SPRING & VINTAGE TASTING 2026
A day dedicated to new vintages, sparkling wine and shared discoveries.
Together, Sekthaus Raumland, BattenfeldSpanier and Kühling-Gillot welcomed guests to Hohen-Sülzen for their annual Spring & Vintage Tasting. Across the cellar, the garden and a series of masterclasses, visitors explored the latest releases, rare wines and the distinctive character of each vintage.
Accompanied by regional culinary partners, thoughtful conversations and a deep connection to origin and craftsmanship, the day offered a closer look at what makes these estates and their wines so compelling.
We were delighted to be part of this special gathering with Josephinenhütte.

BLIND WINE TASTING | EPISODE 1
What happens when you taste the same wine from two different glasses without knowing which is which?
Our participants were convinced they were experiencing two different wines. The conversations quickly moved from subtle differences to confident conclusions, as aromas, texture, and balance seemed to tell two entirely different stories.
Then the blindfolds came off.
The surprise was immediate. Because throughout the entire tasting, the wine had never changed. Only the glass did.
BLIND WINE TASTING
The same wine. Two different glasses. No one knew which one was ours.
No labels. No hints. Just taste.
What followed were honest reactions, unexpected observations and moments of genuine surprise. These are the first moments from the tasting before the full stories and conversations follow in the coming episodes. Stay tuned!

Some people inherit a name. Anton Felix inherited a responsibility – and chose to carry it on his own terms.
For generations, the family made wine on this estate. Until it stopped. What had endured wars, upheaval, and time itself fell silent.
When his family returned after the war, the estate remained — but winemaking did not. Anton was born into its history, not into its continuation. No clear path forward. The first attempt didn’t result in wine, but in vinegar — a beginning he still refers to with a certain pragmatism.
He started anyway. With little more than conviction, and a willingness to learn by doing. What drives him is not nostalgia. It is a quiet, unrelenting belief that great wine can only emerge in harmony with nature.
Today, the estate is farmed biodynamically, guided by patience rather than intervention. No noise, no spectacle. Just soil, time and honesty.
He holds the glass the way he makes decisions: with patience. Without hurry.

A FEW DAYS IN CHAMPAGNE THAT LINGER
Printemps des Champagne is not a traditional fair, but one of the most compelling gatherings in the region. Over several days, winemakers across Reims and beyond showcase just how diverse, precise, and expressive Champagne can be today.
On April 20th, we were proud to be glass partner of Des Pieds et des Vins at Cercle Colbert in Reims. A collective of independent growers, united by a deep commitment to origin, organic vineyard work, site, grape variety, craftsmanship, and the people behind each wine.
In use: our Josephine N° 2. As a universal glass, it revealed the depth and nuance of these Champagnes, giving them the space they need to unfold.
What stayed with us most was the response, from the winemakers themselves, as well as from Champagne professionals from around the world. This is exactly why we create our glasses, not as decoration, but as a stage for origin, precision, and character.

CHAMPAGNE IS NEVER JUST CHAMPAGNE
Together with of Josephinenhütte and our partners at Restaurant Corso in St. Gallen, we hosted a Champagne Masterclass, exploring three key questions that reveal just how layered this region really is and how much the glass shapes what we taste.
In the first flight, the continuous style of a great house met the pure snapshot of a single parcel: Bollinger Special Cuvée alongside Bourgeois-Diaz Les Bien Aimées 2018. Assemblage, consistency, and house style on one side — vintage, origin, and terroir in their clearest expression on the other.
The second flight focused on élevage. Two Champagnes from the same parcel by Petit Clergeot (Chevry), one aged in stainless steel, the other in oak. Same origin, completely different expression.
In the third flight, it was all about oxygen. How does Champagne change depending on how much oxygen the base wine sees during vinification? Agrapart Les 7 Crus (less) met Antoine Grethen Aquilon 2020 (more) — freshness and tension in dialogue with depth and openness.
To consciously highlight the vinous side of these Champagnes, we served them in the Josephine N° 2 and N° 3. Their shapes give structured, textural, and complex Champagnes the space they need, while allowing them to pair precisely with the beautifully composed dishes at Corso.
