About this deal

On sale now at SGD 220. Price stated is per set of 6 stems (comes in gift box of 6) and inclusive of FREE DELIVERY. Zalto recommends using the dishwasher for cleaning its glassware.However, in our experience, there are a few extra steps you’ll want to consider when using the dishwasher. Consider doing the following: And now for a comparison between two luxury crystal wine glass brands: Zalto and the Gabriel Glas Gold wine glasses we recently reviewed. With its timeless design and wide bowl, the glass is ideal for white or red wines (and sparkling too, for that matter), as the aesthetic presentation of the wine is attractive and the aromatics are rich and pleasing. We found that delicate aromatics opened up a bit more after swirling, allowing us to experience more of the wine characteristics.

StandArt is the machine made version of Gabriel Glas Gold. The concept here is 'One for All' universal wine glas. Designed by Rene Gabriel, the renowned Swiss wine critic because as a wine lover, he was trying to fine a solution to the many different type of glasses for wines. It was the early months of quarantine and I’d just lost my dad to a very brief and unexpected battle with cancer. He and I had shared a love of wine since I was old enough to take my first sip from his glass, and in the years since, my obsession only grew. Ultimately, I ended up pursuing a career as a wine and spirits writer, not only to fortify my bond with my dad, but to solidify his pride in me. If you’d like to take Bob’s advice, please get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction. Rather than making it hard to understand for wine lovers, the gold edition is identical to the awesome Standart in size and shape. These Standart are the perfect glass for everyday use. I use them at most of my events, and they are the only glass I use at home for wines.Office Home & Kitchen All Office Office Chairs Standing Desks Desk Organizers Seat Cushions Under Desk Ellipticals Many of the world's finest white wines are all about precision and elegance—and those also happen to be two key attributes of "The Perfect Wine Glass" from designer Richard Brendon and renowned wine critic Jancis Robinson. Featuring a tall, thin profile and crafted from gorgeous hand-blown crystal, this glass is an excellent vessel for most white wines. We appreciated its beadless rim and base, and we loved how dainty it felt in the hand. That said, we did find ourselves a little nervous about breaking it!

For wine lovers who appreciate a good value, the Angle glasses from Williams Sonoma offer a great deal of quality at a very affordable price. Tall and well-proportioned with a recognizable Bordeaux-style look, the glass had a classic yet modern appearance, and we found it to be reminiscent of the much more expensive Josephine glasses. It performed equally well for both red and white wines, highlighting the aromatics well and providing plenty of room for swirling with its large capacity.

I also spoke with Paola Embry, CEO and wine director at the Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona, who recommends the machine-made StandArt for casual everyday drinking, pointing out that this glass has a wonderfully fine rim despite coming in at less than half the cost of its mouth-blown counterpart, the Gold Edition. “Both glasses are as light as a feather, have a super thin lip, and a perfect size bowl,” she said. “One of the more important aspects of great glassware that I look for is the thinness of the rim.” Use less dishwasher soap than usual, as excessive dishwasher soap may cause buildup on the glass, causing it to get hazy.

I can endorse the way that the Gabriel Glass amplifies the wine’s bouquet and is brilliantly fine and light. It’s wafer thin and an absolute delight to use,” continues Bob Campbell MW, before offering a glimpse of how it performs in the personal, as opposed to professional, arena. “My wife, Marion, is a huge fan. She’s been nagging me to write a blog promoting Gabriel-Glas since we first tried them. I urge you to test drive one as soon as possible.”Red wines can be unyielding, their flavors and aromas wrapped up in layers of tannins that take hours to unfold, but a well-designed wine glass can be extremely helpful in speeding along that process. We found that the unique design of the Josephine No. 3 allows the wine to be swirled vigorously with very little risk of any splashing out. Additionally, the wide surface area aids in aeration, and the flowing tapered design effectively conducts all those newly-released aromatics up to the nose. This is a purpose-built vessel for the red wine lover who doesn't shy away from making a definitive visual statement. One day a lot of wine lovers conclude that they only really need one excellent wine glass. The different shapes and sizes make a big difference but wouldn’t you love to have just one that shows every wine in its best light? There are five ounces in a standard pour of wine, which equates to five glass per 750-milliliter bottle. If you need to stretch a bottle to six glasses, try to only pour four ounces. The Austrians know wine glasses, and this handsome set from Gabriel-Glas is living proof. Crafted in a classic and universal style, these well-apportioned stems will lend a striking and inviting air to your next classy gathering.

The bowl of a wine glass is the part that holds your wine, and they come in all sorts of shapes. In general, a wider bowl leads to greater aeration, allowing the wine to “breathe,” which alters its flavor, as well as allowing for more aromas to make their way to your nose. Different types of wine require different levels of aeration and aroma, but a general rule of thumb is that red wines should have a wider bowl, white wines should have a narrower one and sparkling wines should be served in the narrowest vessels. When you watch the video, you’ll note I was very skeptical of this glass because it comes with so much hype. That said, I was truly impressed with Zalto, especially for what it does with red wines. This one glass will easily supersede your Riesling glass, Champagne, Pinot, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc without you having to have 4-8 glasses in each style. Or worse still, having mismatched glasses on the dinner table. Gabriel Glas Standart Small Home Appliances Home & Kitchen All Small Home Appliances Vacuums Air Conditioners Space Heaters Humidifiers

That said, Gabriel-Glas has two different models, the StandArt and the Gold Edition. They look almost identical and both are made of lead-free crystal, but the StandArt glass is machine molded and the Gold Edition is mouth-blown. As such, the Gold is more delicate and elegant, particularly the stem, which seems almost impossibly thin. You don't necessarily have to look like a pro to perform like a pro—but it can't hurt! The Josephinenhütte Josephine No. 2 Universal Wine Glass offers the perfect way to step up your game when tasting wines in a professional context. From its teardrop shape to its delicate feel to its ideal balance, the No. 2 is an excellent choice for all wine pros, either active or aspiring. The unique shape of the glass enhances the aromas of white, red, and sparkling wines, making it an excellent option for those seeking a "universal" glass.
