Zieher Straight Wine Glass

The Zieher Straight glass prioritizes the wine's aromatic profile over traditional color-coded shapes. Its generous 18.2-ounce capacity and straight-sided silhouette provide ample surface area for aeration, allowing both delicate whites and lighter reds to breathe and express their true character.

While the lead-free crystal is durable, hand-washing is strongly recommended for all hand-blown stemware. The delicate nature of the thin crystal and the unique straight-sided design make them susceptible to breakage in high-heat dishwasher cycles.

The straight walls encourage a more direct delivery of the wine to the palate compared to traditional tapered bowls. This design focuses the bouquet and highlights the purity of the wine, offering a clean, unpretentious experience that emphasizes the grape variety.

Hand-blown crystal is typically thinner, lighter, and more refined than machine-made alternatives. This creates a more elegant mouthfeel and a clearer view of the wine's color, though it does require more careful handling.

Each set includes two individual wine glasses.
