Schott Zwiesel Top Ten Cabernet Glass (Set of 6)

6 x Schott Zwiesel Top Ten Cabernet Glass

While case upon case of wineglasses pass through our wine-loving office, the Top Ten glass by Schott Zwiesel is one that is universally admired.

This glass has it all. With its trendy, oversize bowl, it highlights even a modest pour. It was designed for a full-bodied red wine, yet I've used it for older white Burgundies. Its elegance suggests a delicate glass, yet it carries a weight that inspires confidence for everyday use. In short, the Top Ten glass for full-bodied reds is the most elegant yet versatile stemware that I've found.

What's more, these glasses are incredibly durable. With titanium-infused crystal to reinforce the glass at its most delicate places – lip, foot and point where the bowl meets the stem – the Top Ten is a tasting workhorse.

After years of intensive research and development in collaboration with the University of Erlangen, Schott Zwiesel created these patented vessels by combining the functional elegance of crystal with the sheer strength of titanium. These glasses will shine brilliantly even after 3,000 dishwasher cycles.

The beauty of drinking from crystal glasses is that the wine stands out, not the glass. The density of crystal allows it to be cut finer so the rim is much thinner than the bowl. This laser-cut rim helps to position the wine on your mid-palate, where most of your taste buds are.

Fine wines deserve crystal, and you deserve the best possible tasting experience. With the Top Ten glass set, you'll have six more reasons to uncork a new bottle.
