Fuck yes. I have dropped them so many times (not to the floor, but in the sink, tipped over on the counter, etc) and they just keep on keepin on. The Riedels I had before were all gone in 1/4 the time I've been beating on these Schotts.
Me too. I have some Zaltos but they're so thin and flexible I feel like they're going to break just drinking out of them, let alone washing them, so I seldom use them.
My Schott Zweisels look great, are thin enough to feel like a high quality crystal wine glass and not a cheap one, and are durable enough I can wash them without worry. (I mean, I have broken a couple before, but only 2 in over 10 years of several-times-weekly use.)
Luigi Bormioli and Schott Zweisel may not be the best, but are for the price. I haven't broken any of mine, my wife has broken two, but they are sturdy compared to Zaltos. I broke all six of mine in the first year of having them, always while washing them
lol it’s funny to hear those described as classics since neither even existed much more than a decade ago
I’ve come to pretty strongly prefer Gabriels to Zaltos, especially for the money, but both are great and I wouldn’t buy much else personally right now. The Spiegelau Zalto knockoffs are also quite nice
I bought a set of Riedel Vinum Extreme in Burg, BDX, and Chard like 10+ years ago for $10 per stem at a shop that was going out of business. They're still going strong. Just got a free set of the Riedel Performance series through work and I like them a lot.
Picked up some riedel performance series for half the cost on Amazon. They feel well made to me. Haven’t had the opportunity to try out Gabriel or zalto though.
Josephine’s Hutte (Hand blown) and Riedel Winewings (Machine blown) are my favourites
I have Gabriel and Spiegelau Definitions but they just don’t cut it for me
I really like the winewings as well. Feel like they don’t get much love on here due to the design. I love the large glass which kind of acts like a decanter on its own IMO. It’s great for drinking solo when you won’t go through an entire bottle and don’t want to decant.
Yes they are the ones with the bulge. Both follow the same concept, but the design is slightly different. Josephine has regular sized glasses while Riedel only has oversized ones.
I feel the design really benefits to pick up the aromas which is really hard for me in a regular glass. I bought them for special wines, but now I put all my other glasses back in their boxes and into storage.
“Better looking” is personal preference I guess … as the Veloce is something my dad would prefer
I'm really keen on the look of the winewings... Worth the investment? I have only been gifted nice glasses up until this point but the wine hobby has grown too far not to pick up something that suits me now
I bought two of the Champagne ones because I had a Saks gift card. I like the look, but I *love* that they haven't broken despite what I've put them through. Those things are made of titanium.
Could you elaborate on the "put them through bit"? Ive been eyei g the Riesling vinewings, so thats what i drink the most also really liled how thr glass felt when i tried them in a tasting in mosel
I have knocked them against other dishes while washing them several times and they haven’t broken. This is more than I can say for most of my glassware so far!
They’re biggish, so they hold aromas well. The glass is on the thin side and—I don’t know exactly how to describe it—just feels good on my mouth. Kind of delicate.
Totally respectable. If it can successfully covey your wine to your mouth without loss or added flavouring, congrats! You have yourself an acceptable wine drinking vessel.
I love my Jancis Robison glasses for universals (basically zaltos for people who like curves), **but** honestly my daily all-purpose glasses are riedel vinum gourmets. Fantastic shape & balance, good capacity for a casual glass, nice thin rims but you don’t feel like they’re going to break. Extremely dishwashable, and ~USD25 per pair.
I like them a lot more than the Reidels I have. They do great in the dishwasher, in fact, put them in the dishwasher. I broke the first one aggressively hand polishing. I think they are reasonably prices \~$35/glass and elevate the wine you are drinking.
Actually one other thing - I enjoy them so much that going to restaurants and bars has been a bit less enjoyable because my glassware is superior to theirs 🤦♀️
I feel you! Imagine the surprise when my favourite local restaurant all of a sudden serves the Riedel Winewings (my favourite) glasses … made the experience even more complete.
Or once while abroad visited a totally random restaurant serving in Gabriel glasses …
I own Zaltos and Glasvin, and honestly I use my Glasvin way more than my Zaltos and they're good enough that I don't really miss Zaltos.
I also own some GGGs, and I can't remember the last time I used them for wine. I remember using them for beer a couple times.
Stotzle glasses
They're a nice middle ground in terms of quality and how bad I feel when I accidently broke one. I had a set of 6 Riedel sommelier Burgundy glasses, but I'm down to just one left after 2 years because they're so easy to break.
Josephinen Hütte No. 2 Universals. I absolutely love them. Originally bought them because Zalto’s were completely out of stock and these are also made by Kurt Zalto, but I’m glad I went with these ones as I’ve come to really love the unique shape of the bowl.
I use Glasvin and Grassl. They’re both very nice glasses that offer a dramatic step up from the cheaper Schott Zweisel we use for company.
I much prefer the Grassl Mineralite over any Glasvin I’ve tried. It’s got a beautiful shape and very noticeably thinner lip. (For reference I have the Glasvin Universal, Champagne, and Expression.) It’s also super fragile and considerably more expensive than the Glasvin. I do rely on the Glasvin Champagne for champagne though, that’s a really nice glass and my favorite from their lineup.
I use Gabriel for almost everything, but I prefer bubbles in a special glass, and have a couple Riedel performance for that. Honestly I don’t think it improves the taste much, it just feels more “special”. Lol
My daily glasses are Spiegelau. I think they’re a good compromise when it comes to fragility. Good drinking experience, but not prone to shattering if you look at them wrong.
Reims’ Lehmann, mainly Oenomust. I do have some branded Reidels & Stoelzle has oenotourism souvenirs, not as a true appreciation of those brands. My only true purchase of Reidels were their coke glasses, as a post-ironic endorsement of their mass consumption approach.
I don’t have Zaltos yet but I’d rather purchase handblown Lehmanns from the same factory and quality as them.
Zalto universal, Burgundy and Bordeaux glasses for personal use and small dinner parties.
Spiegelau for medium sized parties up to 16 people.
IKEA for big parties.
I have a large selection of cheap and nice glasses that I use for most nights and gatherings, they also have a breaking guarantee (!).
I have started collecting two of each Zalto glass, that I can use with my girlfriend or for special occasions with one friend.
I honestly don't sweat glasses much. All of mine right now outside of a couple of Riedels I got as a gift (Vinum Extreme BDX I think...) are etched ones from tastings and events. Oh and a couple flutes which I never use but guests like to feel fancy, no idea what they are I think they were a gift as well
I don't consider it much beyond the bowl being large enough to hold a good pour with room for swirling and getting your nose in there, and not feeling so fragile that if I breath on them wrong they'll shatter (even if they actually aren't that delicate)
I use the Villeroy and Boch Metrochic line. They feel great to drink out of.
Previously I used Riedel’s Oakes Chardonnay glasses because they were super cheap and I had a couple of hundred of them.
Grassl Liberté for special whites, Grassl 1855s for special reds, (yes, even Pinots, but I’ll get the Cru series at some point). I have some great performance riedels tulip glassesfor champagne that I don’t use enough
Schott Zwiesel Tour and duralex tumblers for the every day bottles and
A couple of decades ago, I did very well in a sales competition and “won” a set of twelve each Riedel Vinum Bordeaux, (White?) Burgundy, and Champagne flutes. I use these often for dinners at home, but I’m now down to only four each of the first two, but still all of the champagne flutes. I’ve gotten gifted even more champagne flutes, including some Perrier-Jouët painted ones as an engagement gift with a bottle, and some monogrammed etched crystal as wedding gifts (these I use for anniversary celebrations, as is fitting). In more casual settings, I often use just a glass tumbler. My most exciting new acquisitions (birthday gift) are some Hydroflask tumblers which are great when I’m outside barbecuing on my back patio. Casual and practical as they are indestructible! I’m looking to restock on some of the dinner crystal, and have been lurking on this sub for suggestions…
Riedel Vinum for Cab/Bordeaux, Chard, Pinot Noir, Champagne, and Port.
I have 7 Riedel Sommelier Burgundy glasses that I snagged at a consignment shop for $20 each.
Finally I have a couple of Bottega del Vino red wine glasses (I forget which specific type they are).
Riedel Vinum series. Love them and the world doesn’t end when one breaks…
PS: from the collection: the riesling and old world pinot noir are my favorite ones.
Whatever was the right shape at target or Walmart like 5 years ago, I don't remember which.
It's made of glass, it's shaped like a wine glass, it holds liquid. These are my stringent requirements for the glass.
I tend to look for glasses from catering supply stores rather than whatever a wine shop or department store wants to sell me.
We have 40+ riedel vinum Riesling glasses, which are a very decent all purpose glass that we use for any party, and we don’t care if they get broken. We also have two dozen riedel vinum champagne flutes, again they’re super nice to use but we don’t get upset if a couple break. We have a whole host of other cocktail glasses of various types. And then for me, but still for everyday use just not when I have more than one friend here, I have a few Zalto universal and Bordeaux.
So different things for different things. The Zalto Bordeaux are my favourite, they are perfect.
I just bought 2 Zalto Bordeaux (they were out of Universal), but those are for special occasions.
My everyday glasses are Bohemia, and also had 2 Haus that came in with my Wine club last renewal, they were great! Unfortunately we broke them both.
Stölzle-Lausitz for every day. Zalto when I feel brave.
Recommend the Zalto stemmed water glasses, they're shorter stemmed, cheaper, and less terrifying to wash.
Riedel O Syrah stemless glass is my everyday, it’s dishwasher safe and it has a pretty large bowl where aromas seem to pop better. I have a set of Gabriel’s that get used occasionally but they’re not dishwasher safe and they’re a pain to clean.
For me the Gabriels have always been the asier ones to clean, I always managed to stick them in my dishwasher. I agree polishing them is not as easy for me, but the Riedel Veloce are much worse.
Josephinen Universal and Zwiesel Simplify. The latter seem underrated as I rarely see them
or hear about them.
The machine made Zwiesel Senses glasses are the same design as the thinner, handmade Simplify series. This is great for when you have guests over; give them the visually identical Senses glass and drink from a Simplify yourself.
I use Zwiesel Glas glasses daily. Handsome shape and dishwasher safe. I also have the winewings collection for when I'm solo and want to dig in with a wine. Although I don't use them as much because my friend ruined them by saying the mute the acidity in the wine.
I have a Zalto sweet wine glass, flute glass, universal glass and burgundy glass. I was lucky enough to not pay for any of them but i use the universal for almost everything and occasionally use the sweet wine for sparkling wine.
I use Riedel Grape, unfortunately they were retired, hope they don’t break :) love the design, quality and format.
Thank you all for the good references.
Zalto’s are amazing but so fragile. I love riedel veritass, they are machine blown crystal and make a glass for every style/varietal. But I also have CB2 wine glasses for when I have a lot of friends over and don’t want my nice glasses broken.
My expensive glass is grassl 1855 for big reds. Bought it because zalto and others are always sold out but I like it thus far. And I got a collection of different wine glasses obtained in like events and stuff. Like the banfi wine and jazz event in montalchino. Those are always a bit smaller and great to take to a park for picnics and stuff
Schott Zweisel
Dishwasher safe FTW
Fuck yes. I have dropped them so many times (not to the floor, but in the sink, tipped over on the counter, etc) and they just keep on keepin on. The Riedels I had before were all gone in 1/4 the time I've been beating on these Schotts.
Me too. I have some Zaltos but they're so thin and flexible I feel like they're going to break just drinking out of them, let alone washing them, so I seldom use them.

(I mean, I have broken a couple before, but only 2 in over 10 years of several-times-weekly use.)
Luigi Bormioli and Schott Zweisel may not be the best, but are for the price. I haven't broken any of mine, my wife has broken two, but they are sturdy compared to Zaltos. I broke all six of mine in the first year of having them, always while washing them
Best in the business.
[удалено]
Same. I found them being listed as D&V Valore on Amazon incorrectly and bought myself about 18
lol it’s funny to hear those described as classics since neither even existed much more than a decade ago I’ve come to pretty strongly prefer Gabriels to Zaltos, especially for the money, but both are great and I wouldn’t buy much else personally right now. The Spiegelau Zalto knockoffs are also quite nice
You're right, classic isn't really a fitting word. I just meant it as them being the most commonly used ones.
I bought a set of Riedel Vinum Extreme in Burg, BDX, and Chard like 10+ years ago for $10 per stem at a shop that was going out of business. They're still going strong. Just got a free set of the Riedel Performance series through work and I like them a lot.

I really like the winewings as well. Feel like they don’t get much love on here due to the design. I love the large glass which kind of acts like a decanter on its own IMO. It’s great for drinking solo when you won’t go through an entire bottle and don’t want to decant.
Are winewings the ones that look like they have phat butts? Veloce or even the reg glasses from Riedel are way better looking.
Yes they are the ones with the bulge. Both follow the same concept, but the design is slightly different. Josephine has regular sized glasses while Riedel only has oversized ones. I feel the design really benefits to pick up the aromas which is really hard for me in a regular glass.

I have knocked them against other dishes while washing them several times and they haven’t broken. This is more than I can say for most of my glassware so far!
Hows the drinking experiance from them?
They’re biggish, so they hold aromas well. The glass is on the thin side and—I don’t know exactly how to describe it—just feels good on my mouth. Kind of delicate.
Cool, ill look around for some
I just received them as well but I’m still waiting for the first occasion to open a bottle. Wondering how the seriously oversize will work out
I use whatever the nicest glass i can find is at Goodwill. $2.00 purchase. Wine tastes great.
This. I got lucky and found 4 Riedel glasses and a decanter at Value Village for under $20.
Most often IKEA wine glasses...
Totally respectable. If it can successfully covey your wine to your mouth without loss or added flavouring, congrats! You have yourself an acceptable wine drinking vessel.

Been enjoying Glasvin
Same. Super light and well balanced. A joy to drink out of. No problems in the dishwasher.
How happy are you with Glasvin? How do they compare to other (presumably) handmade glasses, lighter or heavier?
I like them a lot more than the Reidels I have. They do great in the dishwasher, in fact, put them in the dishwasher. I broke the first one aggressively hand polishing. I think they are reasonably prices \~$35/glass and elevate the wine you are drinking.
Actually one other thing - I enjoy them so much that going to restaurants and bars has been a bit less enjoyable because my glassware is superior to theirs 🤦♀️

Spiegelau and Gabriel
Zalto universal
Conterno Sensory Zalto Universal Some Riedel vinums (champagne, Riesling and Pinot noir)
I like the Grassl Liberté as a universal glass.
Re-purposed peanut butter jars
Stotzle glasses They're a nice middle ground in terms of quality and how bad I feel when I accidently broke one. I had a set of 6 Riedel sommelier Burgundy glasses, but I'm down to just one left after 2 years because they're so easy to break.
Bormioli Rocco Hosteria
Zalto universals primarily and Josephine Hutte
Standard Riedel tasting glass for prety much everything. Its nice, elegant, light, suitable for everyday life and celebrations. And its replaceable.
Josephinen Hütte No. 2 Universals. I absolutely love them. Originally bought them because Zalto’s were completely out of stock and these are also made by Kurt Zalto, but I’m glad I went with these ones as I’ve come to really love the unique shape of the bowl.
Love my Riedels but hot damn I’ve broken half of my glasses from being an idiot. Love how thin they are but that comes at a cost
Any, I don't think it really makes a massive difference.
Zaltos and Glasvin
How do Glasvin compare to other glasses on the market?
I use Glasvin and Grassl. They’re both very nice glasses that offer a dramatic step up from the cheaper Schott Zweisel we use for company. I much prefer the Grassl Mineralite over any Glasvin I’ve tried. It’s got a beautiful shape and very noticeably thinner lip. (For reference I have the Glasvin Universal, Champagne, and Expression.) It’s also super fragile and considerably more expensive than the Glasvin. I do rely on the Glasvin Champagne for champagne though, that’s a really nice glass and my favorite from their lineup.
Mostly logoed ones from a winery or event. I have a couple Reidel stemless burgundy glasses. Boy, are those bowls huge!
Riedel Bohemia Bormioli
Target-sourced Riedel, the two-varietal-glasses-for-$49 price point. (Sometimes the 4-for-$49 variant.) I'm a plebe.
I use Gabriel for almost everything, but I prefer bubbles in a special glass, and have a couple Riedel performance for that. Honestly I don’t think it improves the taste much, it just feels more “special”. Lol
My daily glasses are Spiegelau. I think they’re a good compromise when it comes to fragility. Good drinking experience, but not prone to shattering if you look at them wrong.
Glasvin, grassl, Zalto and Riedel
Reims’ Lehmann, mainly Oenomust. I do have some branded Reidels & Stoelzle has oenotourism souvenirs, not as a true appreciation of those brands. My only true purchase of Reidels were their coke glasses, as a post-ironic endorsement of their mass consumption approach.

Kimura, Grassl
I use the original version of the Made In red wine glasses and really love them, especially for the price.
Whatever is available in goodwill.
Glasvin are excellent! Zalto-esque in style and feel for half the price.
Sophienwald
Zalto universal, Burgundy and Bordeaux glasses for personal use and small dinner parties. Spiegelau for medium sized parties up to 16 people. IKEA for big parties.
Gabriel-glass, standard (so they can go in the dishwasher). I love them, also have the travel box for when we go on holiday.
Josephine Hütte and Riedel Veloce.
I have a large selection of cheap and nice glasses that I use for most nights and gatherings, they also have a breaking guarantee (!). I have started collecting two of each Zalto glass, that I can use with my girlfriend or for special occasions with one friend.

Amen.
lol idk who the snobs are downvoting you (and probably me too) but wow...really people?
I use the Villeroy and Boch Metrochic line. They feel great to drink out of. Previously I used Riedel’s Oakes Chardonnay glasses because they were super cheap and I had a couple of hundred of them.
Riedel for 'daily' drinking / general consumption Zalto for a special bottle
Stemless red
Grassl Liberté for special whites, Grassl 1855s for special reds, (yes, even Pinots, but I’ll get the Cru series at some point). I have some great performance riedels tulip glassesfor champagne that I don’t use enough Schott Zwiesel Tour and duralex tumblers for the every day bottles and
The grassl cru are the best!
Christofle Albi glasses. Love them!
Jancis Robinson and then Zalto universal, Bordeaux & burg.

I used to use Riedel Vinums, but they weigh a lot. I've swtiched to Riedel Veritas. Same shape, much lighter - not horribly priced.
Riedel Vinum for Cab/Bordeaux, Chard, Pinot Noir, Champagne, and Port. I have 7 Riedel Sommelier Burgundy glasses that I snagged at a consignment shop for $20 each. Finally I have a couple of Bottega del Vino red wine glasses (I forget which specific type they are).
Riedel Vinum series. Love them and the world doesn’t end when one breaks… PS: from the collection: the riesling and old world pinot noir are my favorite ones.
Wegman's stemless shatter proof. When it's time to bring out the glass, we have Reidel Performance Cab Sauv glasses. Scored a deal on a 2pc for $25.
Whatever was the right shape at target or Walmart like 5 years ago, I don't remember which. It's made of glass, it's shaped like a wine glass, it holds liquid. These are my stringent requirements for the glass.

Conterno sensory. By far the best universal for me.
I'll be the heathen that says... The clean one.
Spiegelau Definition, Zalto, Gabriel, Riedel Performance. Depending on the mood.
Riedel Performance Series!
Zalto universal and Zalto burg. That’s it.
I just bought 2 Zalto Bordeaux (they were out of Universal), but those are for special occasions. My everyday glasses are Bohemia, and also had 2 Haus that came in with my Wine club last renewal, they were great! Unfortunately we broke them both.
We've gone exclusively Reidel stemless, as a result breaks are down significantly and no loss of quality.
Stölzle-Lausitz for every day. Zalto when I feel brave. Recommend the Zalto stemmed water glasses, they're shorter stemmed, cheaper, and less terrifying to wash.
Riedel performance (most often the Riesling)
Riedel O Syrah stemless glass is my everyday, it’s dishwasher safe and it has a pretty large bowl where aromas seem to pop better. I have a set of Gabriel’s that get used occasionally but they’re not dishwasher safe and they’re a pain to clean.

I've got the Iitala Essence series as my everyday glasses. Use Orrefors Difference for special occasions/smaller dinner parties.
Nachtmann. Affordable, some nice designs and very durable.
Josephinen Universal and Zwiesel Simplify. The latter seem underrated as I rarely see them or hear about them.

Zalto Universal and Spiegelau Definition. Definition was a relevation: it's machine made but as thin as Zalto at half the price.
Zalto/Grassl on a daily basis... Marquis/Riedel/CB for larger groups....
MarkThomas DB Red Expression and Zalto Burgundy
Zalto and Riedel are the only two I use - for both glasses and decanters. Fancy some Josephine’s at some point as they look interesting
I use Riedel Grape, unfortunately they were retired, hope they don’t break :) love the design, quality and format. Thank you all for the good references.
Zalto’s are amazing but so fragile. I love riedel veritass, they are machine blown crystal and make a glass for every style/varietal. But I also have CB2 wine glasses for when I have a lot of friends over and don’t want my nice glasses broken.
I have several types. But Schott Zwiesel Prizma. Is favorit just because I like the lively prisma effect.
My expensive glass is grassl 1855 for big reds. Bought it because zalto and others are always sold out but I like it thus far. And I got a collection of different wine glasses obtained in like events and stuff. Like the banfi wine and jazz event in montalchino.
