Are Zalto glasses Crystal?
Zalto wine glasses were developed by Hans Denk, a famous wine expert in Austria. These finely crafted wine glasses are crystal, lead-free, and handblown.
Who is Kurt Josef Zalto?
The Austrian glass designer Kurt Josef Zalto already set a benchmark once before with the invention of an exceptional glass. Now, some 20 years later, he is revolutionising our notion of the perfect glass with a completely novel creation.
Who is Zalto?
Chances are, these glasses were made by Kurt Josef Zalto. He’s the Austrian glassware prodigy responsible for inventing Zalto’s lithe, singular signature glasses—limited-production, hand-blown glasses coveted by a globe of sommeliers.
Is Zalto fragile?
Zalto wine glasses are delicate globes of glass. The hand-blown, award-winning Zalto wine glasses from Austria did not fit into that model, especially at $59 a pop.
How do you take care of Zalto glass?
It is recommended that Zalto glasses be cleaned in a dishwasher. Hand-washing can add pressure and torque to the bowl, stem and base which can cause breakage and potential injury. When placing the glasses into the dishwasher, do so carefully so there is enough space between glasses and they are secure.
Why is Zalto the best?
But do they really make wine taste better? Zaltos are the Olympic gymnasts of wine glasses: graceful and well-balanced. Upon picking up the glass, you almost feel like you’re going to break the damn thing it’s so light, and the stem is so delicate that your pinky immediately sticks out like a reflex.
