Zalto Bordeaux Glass

The primary difference is the construction; these glasses are mouth-blown from lead-free crystal, resulting in an exceptionally thin, feather-light feel. The specific geometry is engineered to aerate complex, full-bodied wines, allowing the aromatics to open up more effectively than in thicker, machine-made glassware.

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. Despite their delicate appearance, the high-quality, lead-free glass is durable enough for standard dishwasher cycles, though we recommend using a gentle setting and ensuring they are securely placed to avoid breakage.

Absolutely. While specifically designed for full-bodied, tannic reds like Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, the large bowl size makes it an excellent choice for any wine that benefits from significant aeration, including many New World Syrahs or even mature, complex white wines.

Each set includes two individual Bordeaux glasses.

The glass is surprisingly resilient due to the elasticity of the lead-free crystal, but it is undeniably delicate compared to standard glassware. While they are designed for regular use, they require careful handling during washing and storage to prevent chips or cracks.
