Schott Zwiesel Pure White-Wine Glass (Set of 6)

6 x Schott Zwiesel Pure White-Wine Glass

In the world of stemware, tradition reigns. Classic curves are everywhere – which is why Pure stands out. This modern take on a classic shape is an instant hit with generations young and old, because no one has ever seen anything quite like it. And that's why I love it.

Pure is one of Schott Zwiesel's most modern lines, and it attracts attention wherever it is used, be it a sleek new restaurant or dinner party at home. Why does it turn heads? The shape of the bowl of the Pure glass is strikingly angular, without being harsh.

This design is both striking and useful, as the Pure design makes serving wine simpler than ever. The curve of the sides steepens to indicate a proper pour. With this guide, you can serve just the right amount to still allow for comfortable swirling. This particular white-wine glass is a lovely size for lighter summer whites, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris.

Once you've been spoiled by Schott Zwiesel's patented Tritan technology, it will be hard to use anything but this titanium-infused stemware. Designers have added reinforcements at the stem's most delicate places, where it meets the bowl and the foot. This strength also means lasting brilliance; the crystal is designed to maintain its shine after even 3,000 dishwasher cycles.

Eye-catching and fun, this glass is the belle of the ball at any wine-drinking occasion, and the perfect choice for the wines you'll want to enjoy over the coming months.
