🏛️ Set of 6 Metaxa brandy glasses, 0.57 l – embossed wine glass with blue base and stem

Greece has given the world democracy, philosophy, the Olympic Games—and Metaxa. Since 1888, a spirit has been produced in Athens that defies categorization: not brandy, not cognac, not wine brandy in the classical sense—but a unique blend of aged wine distillate, muscat wines from the Aegean Islands, and a secret herbal essence. Spyros Metaxa, the founder, simply named his creation after himself—because there was simply no other name for what he had created. To this day, Metaxa remains in a category of its own. And that’s exactly how this glass feels.

The Metaxa wine glass brings together everything that defines this brand in a single object: a 0.57-liter capacity, an elegant bowl shape with an integrated relief contour that lends the glass structure and character—and then that detail that immediately catches the eye: a vibrant blue base and stem that look as if someone had poured the blue of the Aegean Sea directly into the glass. Relief, color, and function—three dimensions in a single glass. This is how Greece drinks.

Blue Base & Stem—the Aegean Sea beneath the bowl

Anyone who has ever stood on Santorini, Mykonos, or Crete and gazed out at the sea knows this blue. Not sky blue, not navy blue—but that deep, luminous Aegean blue that only the Mediterranean in its Greek corner can produce. It is precisely this blue that adorns the base and stem of this glass—not painted on, but part of the glass itself. The effect is mesmerizing: at the top, the clear bowl holding the amber-colored Metaxa; at the bottom, the radiant blue—like a sunset over the Aegean, captured in glass. Six of them lined up side by side on the table create a visual impact reminiscent of the blue-and-white facades of Oia —that iconic image everyone instantly associates with Greece.

Relief Contour – Character You Can Feel

The relief contour in the bowl gives this glass a tactile dimension that sets it apart from any smooth wine glass. The raised textures provide the glass with grip and texture —a pleasant feel in the hand that immediately signals: This is no ordinary glass. Visually, the relief refracts the light, creating subtle plays of shadow in the bowl and giving the Metaxa in the glass a visual depth reminiscent of the faceted surfaces of ancient Greek pottery. At the same time, the relief makes the glass more robust and durable—function meets aesthetics, as is so often the case with the best Greek inventions.

More than just brandy—a glass for the modern Metaxa experience

Metaxa neat—of course. But the generous 0.57-liter size opens the door to everything modern Metaxa enjoyment has to offer. The Metaxa Sundowner with orange juice, ice, and a cinnamon stick? It finds the perfect home in this glass. A Metaxa Sour with fresh lemon juice and a hint of honey—Greece in cocktail form? It comes together beautifully. Metaxa & Tonic with orange zest as a light long drink? Refreshing and elegant. And even a full-bodied red wine or a summery aperitif cocktail benefits from the goblet shape and the spectacular look of the blue stem. The glass that turns every drink into a Greek evening.

Who is this set for?

For Metaxa lovers who finally want to give their favorite Greek drink a glass that’s just as unique as the spirit itself—with a textured grip for the hand, blue for the eyes, and room for the perfect pour. For Greece enthusiasts who want to bring the Aegean Sea to their dining table. For restaurateurs and bar owners who serve Metaxa in its original glass, offering a visual experience guests won’t forget. For design enthusiasts who see a glass not just as a drinking vessel, but as an object that looks great even on display in a glass cabinet. And as a gift? Six Metaxa relief glasses with blue bases and stems, plus a bottle of Metaxa 7 Stars—that’s Greece in a box. Not a fridge magnet from Athens, not olive oil from the airport, but a gift that tastes of the Aegean, sunsets, and the sound of bouzouki music. The gift where the recipient holds the glass up to the light, sees the blue, and knows immediately: Someone was thinking of Greece.
