Schott Zwiesel- The World's Best Crystal Glass

Schott Zwiesel (a brand of Zwiesel Kristallglas, AG) has a 130 year history of innovation and success, including such break through developments as the first machine made stemware and the first lead-free crystal glass. With the introduction of the proprietary Tritan Crystal technique (the result of special compositions such as titanium with a unique tempering process) Zwiesel has once again revolutionized the industry. Rigorous laboratory testing proves the brilliance, dishwasher safety, and break resistance of Tritan. We invite you to discover why we call our product "The World's Best Crystal Glass" and why it is the choice of the finest restaurants, resorts, and sommeliers worldwide.

From Fortessa, the leading designer of formal and casually elegant tableware.

Dishwasher safe

Dishwasher-safe, Durable Composition

Schott Zwiesel's process tempers each of the zones of stemware that are most prone to breakage: the rim, the junction of the bowl and stem, and the junction of the foot and stem. The added strength of the Tritan composition along these zones renders the stemware chip and break-resistant and allows the pieces to stand up to the abuse of daily use.

The highly durable composition also gives Tritan glassware the ability to withstand extensive dishwashing without etching, discoloring or clouding the material. Independent, long-term testing has proven our new crystal glass shines through 3,000 dishwasher cycles without damage, blemish or any loss of brilliance.

Fully balanced leaving correct
distance between wine and
stemware's rim

Designed with Better Taste in Mind

Schott Zwiesel creates Tritan Crystal Glass with aesthetic beauty in mind, but also with purpose. Each piece provides total balance by proportionately engineering the height, width, weight, and capacity of the glass. The proper pour capacity is measured in each wine glass at the bowl's widest point. This leaves the correct distance between the wine and the stemware's rim, which allows the glass to be turned sideways and experience characteristics of each wine varietal's bouquet at maximum potential.

Additionally, the laser-cut rim of each piece creates a smooth path for wine to travel into one's palate. When the stemware is tipped back, the straight rim directs wine to spill at the appropriate section of the palate where a high concentration of taste buds can catch and savor each and every flavor of the wine. Laser-etched effervescent points in champagne flutes, which direct a cascade of bubbles to the center of the flute provide a longer lasting effervescence to champagnes and sparkling wines- a once hidden detail only experienced by much more expensive crystal.

With versatile designs, whether it's Classic, Traditional, Modern, or Dramatic, Tritan has a style to complement any personal style. Using laser cutting and etching technology, Schott Zwiesel also aims to maximize enjoyment of a drink's flavor and fragrance. Finally, experience also the fifth sense, the distinct ringing sound of high quality crystal glasses along with the fine, smooth polished rims, and seamless stems.

Product Description

Schott Zwiesel, the famed German producer of The Best Crystal Glassware has been a leader in innovation, style and technology for more than 100 years. The company has many firsts to its credit, including the first fully automated product of glass blown glass stemware. In the 1990's, as the glass industry struggled with the environmental issues of lead and other heavy metals in crystal, the company was the first glassmaker to produce lead-free crystal glass of superb quality and brilliance. Schott Zwiesel created Tritan Crystal in 2001 by adding titanium oxide and zirconium oxide to develop The World's Best Crystal Glass. Tritan Crystal is 100-percent dishwasher safe-it will not etch, cloud or discolor for the life of the glass. Tritan resists the damages of daily use-breakage, chipping and scratching. Tritan is thermal shock resistant. Tritan is one of the most clear and brilliant crystal, capable of conducting, refracting and transferring light more than any other crystal. Tritan tempers the rim, the bowl and stem joint and the foot edge for added strength against chipping and breakage. All crystal items manufactured by Schott Zwiesel are cut with our patented laser technology for a smooth thin, elegant edge. All stemware products are seamless after manufacturing; no unsightly seams remain between the bowl and stem, on the stem , or under the foot of the glass. Each detail of size, weight and balance is carefully studied by experts in the culinary field and our manufacturing engineers and executes to produce a glass for the maximum pleasure with focus on delivering the wine or spirit to its maximum potential. The Classico collection is truly a classic design, noted for its great durability and elegance. The design integrates moderately tall stems, and bowls that have a classic soft round shape with a slightly wider opening. This Classico set of 6 Tritan white wine styled stemware pieces is best utilized with tastings and rose wines. Dishwasher safe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful All Purpose Wine Glass, December 23, 2011

This review is from: Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Stemware Classico Collection All Purpose Wine 10.5 Ounce, Set of 6 (Kitchen)

This wine glass is a perfect everyday wine glass but it's nice enough for company and entertaining too. The size is great - not too big for whites, or too small for red wines. The glasses look elegant, and have a nice thin rim, but are very durable. We hand wash them, but they have survived many dings and bangs against the sink and faucet. Highly recommend.

This review is from: Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Stemware Classico Collection Pilsner 12.5 Ounce, Set of 6 (Kitchen)

We purchased the "All purpose/beer" style. We are so thrilled with them. They seem nicer in person than they seemed in the picture. They have a delicate, fine quality to them. They are well balanced in the hand, and add beauty to the drink. We use them for beer, when we want a nicer presentation for a nicer beer, and we also use them for tall drinks like gin and tonic. But my favorite use for them is with Sangria. The fresh fruit and ice and red wine are so pretty in these glasses. Since they are slender, the fruit is readily visible through the wine. They really add sparkle to the drink.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very nice but much taller than advertised, January 13, 2010

This review is from: Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Stemware Classico Collection Martini 8.9 Ounce, Set of 6 (Kitchen)

I was looking for martini glasses as a gift for my father. I wanted ones that fit easily in the dishwasher, so I ordered these. I did not get a chance to measure them at Christmas at my parents, but they were certainly quite a bit taller than 6.4 inches shown in the description, as they were not close to being the same height as other glasses I have that are 6.5 inches and fit upright in my dishwasher. Other than that they were very nice with a fairly large bowl. Would have given them 5 stars if the dimensions had been correct. They are a good value if you don't care about the height. (my parents are going to wash them laying sideways in the dishwasher)
