Schott Zwiesel 7544403 Pure Bordeaux 130 Crystal Wine Glass, 6-Piece

EXCEPTIONALLY pleased with these glasses. In many ways I prefer them to my Zalto Universals. Firstly, I like the fact they are crystal glasses without the *lead* or the price tag. Being crystal means they look the part as they have that crystal brilliance and produce a fantastic ring. No need for any tricks like ghastly vinegar or lemon to make them shine...it comes built-in!! Unlike other crystal ware, these are easy to keep as they can be washed in a dishwasher. Secondly, they are far more robust than Zalto ware, which I always handle as though with kid gloves...they break easily. But with strength comes the downside - they are heftier. And you don't get that feeling of being closer to the wine that some people like with Zalto's. Neither an issue for me. Finally, I find this shape more distinctive and uncommon compared to a.n.other tulip glass. Regarding quality, I can feel a seam on the stem, which is presumably a side-effect of the cheaper mass-production method of production. I can see this being a show-stopper for the more critical consumer, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. The price/value proposition these glasses offer make it a no-brainer - I'll be buying these in future.

The glasses are fine. I just can't believe that people read these reviews- clearly written by people who can't speak English- and believe them. There is no need to make up fake reviews about these wine glasses, they are perfectly good and sold at a fair price!

Really nice glasses but 1 of the 6 has a broken stem

Mejora la experiencia al beber vino ( el cristal al ser poroso, contribuye a airear el vino en copa). No tan espectaculares como las Gabriel Glass en su función de despertar aromas; pero excelente compra pues 6 de estas cuestan lo que una Gabriel Glass gold.

Top notch crystal glasses with a modern look. Extra tall which makes swirling/aerating easy. These have that great crystal sound if you like to ping your glass.

good

Edit: Contacted the company who makes them. The next day they had a new glass shipped out to me. They say that rarely defective glasses get past quality control due to defects that that are undetectable. I've had these for a few months now, and have always taken exceptional care of them. Hand washed, dried and put away. Only brought out around once every couple weeks. Today when I was washing one a big piece cracked off with so little force that I sat there and stared at the glass perplexed at what had just happened. I was just in the process of ordering some more of the set, but I think I will reconsider. I really like these glasses, but that is awful. I feel like that could have happened on someones mouth, judging by how easily it broke. Not what I would expect from a high end glass like this.

Super Gläser, richtig gute Qualität und problemlos in der Spülmaschine. Über Geschmack lässt sich wie immer streiten, aber uns gefällt die Optik auch super gut - sehr elegant, kommen sie allgemein sehr gut an!
