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.

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.

Environmental Consciousness
Schott Zwiesel protects the natural environment by conserving resources and making optimal use of energy in the manufacture of our products. The patented Tritan crystal glass collections are lead and barium free, created with only natural materials and designed for functional use and long-lasting brilliance.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. Cru Classic offers balanced styling: subtle and slightly oversized bowl shapes with just the right stem height. It's subtle details in design make it a near perfect stemware line. This Cru Classic set of 6 Tritan crystal Riesling styled stemware pieces is best utilized with dessert, late harvest or tasting wines. Dishwasher safe

Much sturdier than Riedel,
By
This review is from: Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Stemware Cru Classic Collection, Set of 6 (Kitchen)
I disagree with the first reviewer. I have always had Riedel Vinum, but once I saw the Forte set (not the cru classic) I decided to try them. Yes the Riedel is thinner in some places, but the Forte shape is EXACTLY the same as the Bordeaux Riedel Vinum's Bordeaux. These glasses are much sturdier. I do not have to worry about my wife washing them, she has broken all my Riedels. These can even be put in a dish washer ! (shudder).
Unfortunately, Amazon's price is out of whack, even with free prime shipping. Most reputable places, like K&L Wines have them for $15 less.

This review is from: Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Stemware Cru Classic Collection Claret/Red Wine 19.8 Ounce , Set of 6 (Kitchen)
These wine glasses are just what we wanted. They are high-end stemware that have all the appearances of the best glasses out there. We have had them for several months now, and we love them. We wash them in the dishwasher, and we use them like our dayware. Not one glass has broken, scratched, or marred in any way. If we do figure out a way to break one, we will replace it. We will stay with these as long as we can get them.

My favorite red wine glass,

This review is from: Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Stemware Cru Classic Collection Bordeaux 27.9 Ounce, Set of 6 (Kitchen)
Yes, it's a large glass which made me hesitate at first, but it feels the perfect fit in my rather small hand, well balanced and comfortable to hold. Filled with about 5 and 1/2 ounces allows the wine to breath with a few swirls and lets you enjoy 'the nose' of your favorites. Dishwasher safe too, at least on the top rack. Being too tall to stand upright I fit them in on a slant securely over two rows, and they come out perfect, not broken like some other glasses. Can't wash too many at a time this way, but then that's true for just about any type of the taller wine stemware in a standard dishwasher. They haven't been through the diswasher many times yet but no etching or cloudy spots to date. Thoroughly happy with my purchase.
