Zalto glasses

Zalto glass collections and tasting glasses stand out in wine tasting for their quality and artisanal craftsmanship. Zalto, an Austrian company, leverages the art of glassmaking to enhance the tasting experience, a tradition spanning over six generations.

Zalto glasses have become essential for wine tasting, marking the birth of a star! This oenological experience engages four of our senses:

It starts with sight; Zalto glasses boast an elegant and exclusive aesthetic.

Their clarity and brilliance, achieved through lead-free crystal, present wine enthusiasts with a true color palette, allowing the wine to fully reveal its appearance (clarity, color, and the finesse of its bubbles for sparkling wines).

Next is touch. The Zalto glass is unmatched in delicacy and lightness. Holding it, one feels a certain elasticity and flexibility, making the glass durable.

With only 3mm thickness, the contact of your lips on the rim is exceptionally pleasant. Moreover, the thinner the glass, the better it preserves the wine’s original temperature, unaffected by the surrounding environment. The Zalto champagne flute weighs just 80g.

Smell enables olfactory analysis, allowing the identification of all aromas in a wine before tasting. The unique shape of Zalto glasses, inspired by the Earth’s tilt angles, ensures wine can reach its full potential. The palate complements your nose in appreciating the wine’s aromatic richness, enabling you to fully experience the aromas through retronasal olfaction.

Taste is the final step of any tasting. At Zalto, each glass is tailored to the wine to highlight its aromatic compounds. The Zalto Bordeaux glass is mouth-blown and shaped to unveil the best red wines, their strength, tannins, and harmony achieved through years of research and development.

Handmade, mouth-blown for six generations

Zalto perpetuates a traditional craftmanship for more than six generations; thanks to a unique structure, aromas are enhanced.

Finesse also plays a crucial role in wine appreciation. Transparency allows for the analysis of the wine’s clarity and color. Every oenological experience is also a visual one, and Zalto stands on the podium.

A lead-free crystal glass

Made of lead-free crystal, the glass enjoys maximum transparency and scratch resistance. Crystal, the preferred material for tasting, has a well-established reputation. Unlike glass, crystal allows for the creation of extremely thin yet break-resistant glasses. With its 0.3mm thickness, Zalto sets the standard for the thinnest and lightest glass on the market.

The essential glass for an enriched oenological experience

A glass is like a musical instrument, enhancing the development of taste. Wine is so complex and fascinating that it deserves a suitable glass.

Wine lovers often have a passion for glassware, and rightfully so, as nearly 30% of the total pleasure of tasting comes from the glass itself.

For now, Zalto is one of the few glassmakers pushing the oenological experience to its maximum. Zalto is our favorite glass brand, and you won’t be disappointed from your first tasting.
