Gabriel-Glas - Austrian Crystal Wine Glass - StandArt Edition - Set of 2

Product Information

I can endorse the way that the Gabriel Glass amplifies the wine’s bouquet and is brilliantly fine and light. It’s wafer thin and an absolute delight to use,” continues Bob Campbell MW, before offering a glimpse of how it performs in the personal, as opposed to professional, arena. “My wife, Marion, is a huge fan. She’s been nagging me to write a blog promoting Gabriel-Glas since we first tried them. I urge you to test drive one as soon as possible.” Zalto’s Denk’Art Universal Glass is undeniably among the best of the best, and cult-favorite Turkish glassware brand NUDE also has some very appealing and versatile options for reds and whites at a fraction of Zalto’s price tag, though their selection can be a bit overwhelming at times. While these brands have both been on my wish list for quite some time, I decided to dig a bit deeper to see what else was out there. It has been a long time between shared drinks for a lot of us. I have not hosted a dinner since October 2019. I am keen to get out and share great food and great company. How about you?

Read more about glass shapes and why they matter.

Opening Diameter: This trait really affects the aroma presence of wine. In the video, I had some quips about smaller diameter openings for red wines because of how much it shoveled the aromas into my nose (the burn!). 2.25 inches was tight for reds but ideal for whites. 2.5 inches was about right (both Zalto and Gabriel-Glass were around 2.5). Finally, my “old standby” restaurant series Riedel Vinum Extreme Cabernets have a diameter of 2.75. When you watch the video, you’ll note I was very skeptical of this glass because it comes with so much hype. That said, I was truly impressed with Zalto, especially for what it does with red wines. The bowl of a wine glass is the part that holds your wine, and they come in all sorts of shapes. In general, a wider bowl leads to greater aeration, allowing the wine to “breathe,” which alters its flavor, as well as allowing for more aromas to make their way to your nose. Different types of wine require different levels of aeration and aroma, but a general rule of thumb is that red wines should have a wider bowl, white wines should have a narrower one and sparkling wines should be served in the narrowest vessels.It is suitable for all wines, also for champagne, brandy, whiskey and the inventor, René Gabriel even drinks his beer from it.

Also highly recommended by New York Times' Wirecutter in their latest test for the Best Wine Glass: Outdoor Home & Kitchen All Outdoor Raised Garden Boxes Garden Hoses Gas Grills Beach Towels Solar Pool Covers Grilling AccessoriesI tried both glasses with a variety of wines and have to agree that they performed perfectly. The flattened base exposes the wine in the glass to the maximum amount of surface area, and the gently tapering sides effectively keep aromas trapped inside — and prevent the wine from sloshing out. They look beautiful, and while they’re on the large side, they aren’t nearly as big as some of Riedel’s monstrously huge goblets. Voted the No. 1 wine glass in the world by the much referred to and award-winning wine blogger Wine Folly. The presentation box makes this a perfect gift for wine drinkers! Very classy and posh gift box. If you’d like to take Bob’s advice, please get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction.
