2110 ‘Allround’ crystal glasses are among the best I’ve personally encountered in some time.
Whether you love sparkling wines or classic, fruit-forward varietals like Sauvignon Blanc, Mark Thomas’s unique No. On a personal note: I actually even prefer to use these as Champagne glasses instead of the customary (and practically inferior) flute glass. In terms of colour, clarity and expression, pretty much any variety you can think of (from brash Cabernet Sauvignon to citrus-laden Pinot Grigio) benefits from time in-vessel – with the only, admittedly valid, downside being the price.
Pricey and fragile, they invariably justify the hype surrounding the Zalto name the moment you hold one by the stem.Įach is hand blown with fine crystal, in a historic Austrian factory near the border of Czechoslovakia (both countries share a long history of artisanal glassware manufacturing), and – even juxtaposed against other similarly expensive glasses – the Zalto Universal remains the gold standard when judging weight-to-strength.Īlmost frighteningly lightweight, the unrivalled ability of a Zalto glass to convey the essence of any drop is why wine lovers keep can’t get enough of them. The Rolls-Royce Ghost of universal wine glasses, this Zalto Denk’Art is a favourite of vinous veterans (particularly the Master Sommelier set) around the globe.
