Supporting the Future of Wine Education

The Stölzle Lausitz 10,000 Glass Initiative

At Stölzle Lausitz, we believe that great wine education deserves exceptional glassware.

As part of our commitment to supporting the next generation of wine and hospitality professionals, we're launching the 10,000 Glass Initiative, a program dedicated to placing 10,000 premium Stölzle Lausitz glasses into the hands of educators, institutions, and professionals advancing wine education across the United States.

Whether you're training future sommeliers, teaching hospitality students, hosting educational tastings, or helping others develop their understanding of wine, we want to hear from you.

Who Can Apply?

Applications are welcome from individuals and organizations actively involved in wine education, including:

• Colleges, universities, and hospitality programs

• Wine certification and training organizations

• Independent wine educators and sommeliers

• Restaurants and hospitality businesses with structured training programs

• Wineries offering educational programs

• Nonprofit organizations and industry associations

• Other individuals or organizations demonstrating a meaningful commitment to wine education

Both nonprofit and for-profit applicants are welcome.

How It Works

1. Submit Your Application

Complete the application below and tell us about your educational activities, the people you serve, and how Stölzle Lausitz glassware would support your efforts.

2. Application Review

Our team will evaluate applications based on educational impact, demonstrated need, intended use, and available inventory.

3. Recipient Selection

Selected applicants will be contacted directly regarding the glassware awarded, quantities, and delivery arrangements.

4. Share Your Impact

Recipients will be required to provide photographs of the glassware being used in educational activities, along with a brief description of the program's impact.

Program Guidelines

• Glassware must be used for legitimate educational or professional training purposes.

• Donated glassware may not be resold.

• Recipients must provide photographs and program feedback and grant Stölzle Lausitz permission to use submitted materials in promotional communications, subject to necessary permissions and releases.

• Application submission does not guarantee selection or receipt of glassware.

• Stölzle Lausitz determines the type and quantity of glassware awarded based on program criteria and availability.

• No purchase is necessary to apply, and purchasing Stölzle products does not improve an applicant's chances of selection.

Additional Benefits for Participating Educators

Our commitment to wine education extends beyond the initial glassware donation. Selected participants will also have access to additional resources designed to support their educational programs.

Exclusive 10% Student Discount

Participating educators will receive Stölzle Lausitz promotional materials featuring an exclusive 10% discount for their students on eligible purchases through our U.S. online store.

15% Credit Toward Future Educational Presentations

Together, these benefits help make premium glassware more accessible to students while providing ongoing support for wine education.
