Schott Zwiesel Ever Classico

Check your wine stock before choosing. For pinot noir and other fine wines, there are two Burgundy glasses, holding 41 and 81 cl, with the larger bowl giving the wine the most room to breathe. The 65 cl glass is intended for Bordeaux and syrah, while for everyday red wine the 55 cl bowl is sufficient. The champagne glass of 21 cl is a narrow flute with a nucleation point. The grappa glass of 10 cl belongs with the liqueur glasses and is intended for strong, aromatic spirits served in small quantities. If you want one bowl suitable for almost every bottle, the 55 cl glass is the safest choice.

Never fill a wine glass above its widest point, because above that line the aroma can no longer linger beneath the rim. Use the 75 cl decanter for two purposes: to aerate young wine and to separate old wine from its sediment. For the latter, pour slowly and stop as soon as it becomes cloudy. The 21 cl flute is suitable for a bellini or a french 75, with the sparkling wine added to the glass last.

The range is made from Tritan crystal glass, the lead-free glass from Schott Zwiesel reinforced with titanium and zirconium. That keeps the rim clear where ordinary soda-lime glass turns greyish over time. The glasses are dishwasher safe, set apart from one another in the rack. Rinse the decanter by hand and let it drain upside down on a stand, not on a cloth.

If you are only looking for a serving bottle or a second decanter, take a look at the decanters, which includes both decanter models and water pitchers. If you are unsure which of the two Burgundy glasses to choose, first measure the height of your cabinet shelf.
