“Light as a Hummingbird’s Bones”: Zalto Universal Back in Stock!
Zalto

I think they call it preaching to the converted. Most of our customers are familiar with the quality of Zalto glassware. Quite simply, the finer the glass, the more pleasurable it is to drink from. And Zalto produces the finest stemware we know of; glasses that seem to almost disappear in the hand, bringing you closer to the wine.


The headline is that we have Zalto’s core Universal glass back in stock: available in 2-packs and 6-packs. There’s also a timely restock of the Burgundy stems, and, following several requests, we have reshipped Zalto’s theatrical glass, the Gravitas Omega.

Zalto White Wine Glass 2 Pack

A great glass for young Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and other racy aromatics. Also terrific for young Chablis, as well as lighter-bodied reds. If you are familiar with the popular Riedel Riesling/Sangiovese glass, this would be your closest match. We also use this glass for Sherries, some sparkling wines and spirits. It can work perfectly as a general glass for both whites and reds.

Six Pack. A great glass for young Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and other racy aromatics. Also good for young Chablis, as well as lighter-bodied reds. If you are familiar with the popular Riedel Riesling/Sangiovese glass, this would be your closest match. We also use this glass for Sherries, some sparkling wine and spirits—when Melanie Tesseron of Cognac Tesseron was in Australia this was the glass we used at the tastings. Melanie was totally won over both with the glass and its suitability for her Cognacs. It can work perfectly well as a general glass for both whites and reds.

Zalto Universal Glass 2 Pack

This glass is ideal for full-bodied, powerful and/or developed wines, with its shape allowing the wine’s depth and intensity to shine through while still accentuating its underlying complexity and finesse. It can work for pretty much all Italian wines (although older Nebbiolo is often better in the ‘Burgundy’ glass), as well as all mature whites and reds from anywhere else. Mature Chablis, Riesling, Chianti, Beaujolais and pretty much any Australian wine, young or old, are good candidates. Also terrific for great grower Champagne. In short, as the name suggests, a brilliant all-rounder.

Zalto Bordeaux Glass 2 Pack

This works wonders on wines rich in structure and fruit concentration and for wines high in tannin. Broader-based than most 'Bordeaux' glass styles, its unique design brings harmony to potent, concentrated, structured wines. While it works particularly well for Bordeaux, Brunello di Montalcino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, etc., it’s also superb with Nebbiolo, Gamay and Pinot. So don't let the name fool you into thinking this is a one-dimensional stem.

Zalto Burgundy Glass 2 Pack

The wide bowl in this glass provides maximum surface area, allowing the different components of the wine to open up and ‘show’ with great precision. Particularly good for wines that are both tightly wound and old and complex (you miss nothing!). If it is young and open, it’s better off in one of the smaller shapes above. Obviously great with Burgundy, but what you use it for is only limited by your imagination!

Zalto Gravitas Omega 2 Pack

In simple terms this is Zalto’s Burgundy glass with no base. Instead, you have a sphere at the base of the stem and the glass rests on a small, flattened area on the side. In addition, it has a flat edge on the part of the bowl so that it can sit peacefully without fear it will roll off the table!  It was Shannon Bennett who originally alerted us to this stem’s existence. After encountering the Gravitas Omega in Europe, Shannon asked us to order some in for Vue de Monde. There is obviously something theatrical about the design. This then is for show, or for the person who already has all the other shapes!

Two Pack. Another stunning glass. This shape showcases the elegance and finesse of sweet wines perfectly. Its shape is designed to balance the acidity, power and sweetness of great sweet wines (although the ‘White Wine’ glass also does a good job with such wines). Works with Sauternes, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, Eiswein, Port and Madeira.

Zalto Decanter Axium

While some glassware manufacturers seem intent on steering decanter design into the realm of flamboyant objets d'art, Zalto crafts only two simple yet beautiful, function-over-form designs. They both look and handle with style and, more importantly, they are practical and just work. They are also both brilliant value. The Axium is the smaller of the two and is designed for medium-bodied red wines and medium to full-bodied white wines.

“If you’re looking for glasses and your budget tiptoes into hand-blown territory, though, these are, truly, the best I’ve ever used.” Andrew Jefford, Decanter

“Buy a set of Zalto wine glasses. A good glass does not just dramatically alter the perception of a wine’s taste and smell, sometimes improving it two or three or more fold, it is also an object of beauty in itself. Zalto are the glasses with which wine pros are currently obsessed.” Victoria Moore, The Telegraph

“Its stem was bouncy, balanced and fine as a violin bow, light as a hummingbird’s bones. Its rim was as honed as my favorite knife. This wasn’t merely a wine glass; it was a precision instrument that bordered on the spiritual...” Alice Feiring, alicefeiring.com
