Gabriel-Glas - Austrian Crystal Wine Glass - StandArt Edition - Set of 2

Product Information

Opening Diameter: This trait really affects the aroma presence of wine. In the video, I had some quips about smaller diameter openings for red wines because of how much it shoveled the aromas into my nose (the burn!). 2.25 inches was tight for reds but ideal for whites. 2.5 inches was about right (both Zalto and Gabriel-Glass were around 2.5). Finally, my “old standby” restaurant series Riedel Vinum Extreme Cabernets have a diameter of 2.75. Use less dishwasher soap than usual, as excessive dishwasher soap may cause buildup on the glass, causing it to get hazy. Then, at the top-end of wine glasses, there are many options. We loved Zalto and Gabriel-Glas, as we mentioned above, but could come up with reasons to love each of the glasses we tested.

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. 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. 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. 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.

The high-end models are not, which is why they are so much more durable despite how fragile they look and feel. Still, there’s nothing wrong with being multi-piece, make sure they get the seams off. (You can feel the seam on the stem.) 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 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.

Glass Shape and Size: Most importantly, you need enough volume in the glass to collect aromas. Read more about glass shapes and why they matter. 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.” Outdoor Home & Kitchen All Outdoor Raised Garden Boxes Garden Hoses Gas Grills Beach Towels Solar Pool Covers Grilling AccessoriesKnowWines is a team of two. My husband loves the Zalto. However, I’m partial to Gabriel Glas Gold.When swirling the glass, I feel that the Zalto is a little clunkier, while the Gabriel Glas is more “fluid.” When buying a set of universal-style wine glasses to use at home, the key is to find an option that delivers high quality at an affordable price—enter the Zwiesel Glas Verbelle Wine Glasses, offered in a set of six. With a tall, thin profile, and crafted in a classic Bordeaux style, the Verbelle earns high marks for appearance. We weren't bothered by the rounded lip of this glass, sometimes a marker of a cheaper option, because it wasn't distracting and didn't take away from the tasting experience.
