Zwiesel Glas Tone

Start with what you make most often. For stirred classics, choose the 18.2 cl martini glass or the 17.2 cl Nick & Nora glass, which looks smaller and is less likely to spill because the bowl curves inward. The cocktail coupe comes in 17 cl and 24.6 cl, both with a nucleation point in the base, making them suitable for sparkling wine as well. For drinks served over ice, there are two all-purpose tumblers of 24.5 cl and 39 cl, and a 31.4 cl whisky glass with a heavy base. The 51.3 cl highball glass is the tallest in the range, while the 13.3 cl sake and liqueur glass is the smallest. More shapes can be found under cocktail glasses.

A Dry Martini belongs in the martini glass or, if you prefer to serve it a little smaller, in the Nick & Nora glass. A shaken Daiquiri goes in the coupe, where the wide bowl allows the citrus aroma to rise. Whisky poured over one large ice cube goes in the 31.4 cl glass, whose heavy base keeps it stable. The all-purpose tumblers are the workhorses for water, soft drinks, and anything served over ice. The highball glass is intended for drinks topped up with tonic or soda.

Tone is made of Tritan crystal glass, to which Zwiesel Glas adds titanium and zirconium. That makes the thin rim a good deal less fragile than it looks and the glass able to take the dishwasher, even with daily use. Place the coupes and martini glasses apart in the rack, because bowls that knock against one another will break all the same. Let them dry standing up and polish them with a glass cloth while the glass is still lukewarm, and no drying marks will be left behind.

Other series from this brand can be found under Zwiesel Glas glasses. If you're specifically looking for the small stemmed glass, it's listed separately under Nick & Nora glasses. For glasses with a heavy base, see the whiskey glasses, and the tools for mixing everything are listed under cocktail shakers. If you prefer to choose a complete set at once, you'll find those combinations under glass sets.
