Let's delve into the story of Zwiesel Glas and discover their latest innovations that promise to bring both style and luxury to your home.

Since 1872, Zwiesel Glas has been rooted in the rich tradition of glassblowing from the Bavarian Forest, earning admiration from the most discerning guests and esteemed hosts worldwide. Every moment of enjoyment becomes extraordinary with Zwiesel Glas, enhancing the experience at any table — whether at home or in a restaurant, alone or with others. This exceptional quality is largely attributed to Zwiesel Glas's distinctive touch. The unique sound that Zwiesel glasses produce when clinking, thanks to their Tritan® crystal glass, has become a hallmark of the brand, setting it apart in the world of glassware.

Four Sensory Worlds, Five Shapes

For wine enthusiasts around the globe, mouth-blown crystal glasses symbolize true sophistication. These glasses excel in highlighting the most subtle aromas and textures, embodying pure artistry with their unique, delicate, and elegant forms.

The Simplify Concept Series embodies a distinctive philosophy: each glass is designed to complement both red and white wines equally well. This versatile approach means that five essential shapes can accommodate all wine styles and flavors: Light & Fresh, Fruity & Delicate, Velvety & Sumptuous, Flavoursome & Spicy. This streamlined selection process simplifies choosing the perfect glass for any wine style. For powerful wines — whether red, rosé, or white — a generously shaped glass allows aromas to fully develop. Conversely, for lighter, more delicate wines, a narrower glass helps concentrate even the finest nuances. Ultimately, the design of the glass itself is crucial for enhancing the wine’s character.
