Zwiesel Glas Wine Glasses Simplify - Flavoursome & Spicy - Mouth-Blown - 689 ml - 2 pieces
Mouth-blown crystal glass: wafer-thin and surprisingly light
Experience Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz at their best
Dishwasher-safe despite the thin glass
You pour a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. The colour, a deep ruby red, already says enough. But what you taste - that is decided by the glass. With the Zwiesel Glas Wine Glasses Simplify - Flavoursome & Spicy, you get everything out of the wine that is in it. No compromises, no half-hearted flavour. Just the full story of your wine, from the first sniff to the last sip.
Tasting Wine the Way It Is Meant to Be
Many wine glasses are designed for show. The Simplify glasses from Zwiesel Glas are designed for flavour. That is a big difference. This series is not about red or white as a category, but about the character of the wine itself. This particular glass - the Flavoursome & Spicy - is tailored to spicy, full-bodied wines with character. Think Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, but also a rich Chardonnay or a sunny Viognier. The bowl shape gives the wine exactly the room it needs to open up, and guides the aromas straight to your nose. So you taste more, with less effort.
- More flavour from your wine - The bowl shape concentrates the aromas and gives the wine room to breathe, so you really taste what is in the glass
- Mouth-blown crystal glass - Wafer-thin, surprisingly light and yet sturdy enough for everyday use and the dishwasher
- Versatile - Perfect for a wide selection of red and white wines with body and character
- Dishwasher safe - Despite the thin walls, they can simply go in the dishwasher, provided you use the glass programme
- Set of 2 - Enjoying together starts with the right glasses for both of you
Mouth-Blown: a Difference You Can Taste
Every Simplify glass is mouth-blown by experienced glassblowers. That may sound like a detail, but it is exactly what makes this glass so special. The mouth-blowing process gives the glass wall an even, extremely thin thickness that machine-made glass cannot achieve. The result: a glass that almost disappears in your hand, while letting the wine take centre stage. The wall reflects the light in a way that brings the colour of your wine to life. And when you hold your nose over the glass, you immediately notice that there is nothing between you and the wine. No thick rim, no wide lip - just the wine, the aromas and you.
Crystal glass also has a pure clarity that ordinary glass cannot match. Transparent and clear, so the colour of your Bordeaux, Nebbiolo or Spätburgunder Barrique really comes into its own. This is the kind of glass that makes you pause before taking the first sip - not because it is so stylish, but because the wine simply looks beautiful in it.
The Right Wine, the Right Glass
Zwiesel Glas did not design the Simplify series on a whim. There is wine expertise behind it. The Flavoursome & Spicy glass is specifically tailored to wines with pronounced flavour profiles - spicy, full-bodied, with a kick. Those are the wines where the glass really makes the difference. Pour a Ribera del Duero, a Hermitage or a Nero d'Avola, and you immediately notice that the flavour comes across rounder, fuller and better balanced. But a ripe Chardonnay, an oak-aged Viognier or a Meursault also do very well in it.
Wines that Zwiesel Glas recommends for this glass:
- Cabernet Sauvignon
- Ribera del Duero
- Grenache
- Malbec
- Cahors
- Bordeaux
- Shiraz
- Hermitage
- Nero d'Avola
- Chardonnay
- Viognier
- Spätburgunder Barrique
- Valpolicella
- Meursault
- Nebbiolo
- Silvaner (young, fresh, light)
- Semillon
In short: this is the glass you will reach for more often than you expect. Versatile, but with a clear character.
Wafer-Thin, but Not a Pretentious Glass
We get it: thin-walled wine glasses and the dishwasher sound like a risky combination. With the Simplify series from Zwiesel Glas, it is not that bad. The glasses are dishwasher safe - just use the glass programme and place them firmly in the rack so they do not move during the wash. That way you enjoy the convenience of mouth-blown quality without having to dry them by hand after every use. That is the Cookinglife idea: quality that proves itself in practice, day after day, wine after wine.
💡 Cookinglife Tip: Let your wine breathe in the glass for a moment before taking the first sip. Thanks to the wide bowl of the Flavoursome & Spicy glass, that happens quickly. Two or three minutes are often enough to notice how the flavour opens up. And do not fill the glass too full - just below the widest point of the bowl is ideal, so the aromas have all the room they need to rise.
