Zwiesel Glas Wine Glasses Simplify - Light & Fresh - Mouth-Blown - 382 ml - 2 pieces
Mouth-blown crystal glass: wafer-thin and surprisingly light
You can taste Riesling, Portugieser and Elbling at their best
Dishwasher-safe despite the thin glass
You open a bottle of Riesling, pour a glass, take a sip - and feel that something is right. Not just the wine, but the glass itself. Exceptionally thin, surprisingly light, and precisely the right shape to send those fresh aromas straight to your nose. That’s what the Zwiesel Glas Wine Glasses Simplify - Light & Fresh do: they turn every glass of wine into a moment to enjoy.
Not red or white - but character
Most wine glasses are categorised by colour: a glass for red, a glass for white. The Simplify series from Zwiesel Glas thinks differently. It’s about the style of the wine - the character, the freshness, the aromas. This Light & Fresh glass is designed for light, fresh wines with lively acidity and subtle fruit notes. No compromise, no average - just the right glass for the right wine.
- Mouth-blown crystal glass - Handcrafted by experienced glassblowers for an exceptionally thin wall and a light weight that refines every sip
- Versatile use - Both fresh white wines and light red wines are fully appreciated in this glass
- Perfect bowl shape - The bowl allows the wine to breathe and directs the aromas straight to your nose
- Dishwasher safe - Despite the thin wall, simply place it in the dishwasher, provided you use the glass programme
- Set of 2 - Ideal for an evening for two or as a stylish addition to your glassware
Mouth-blown: craftsmanship you can taste
There’s a reason behind the mouth-blown production process of Zwiesel Glas - and you notice that immediately when you hold the glass. Where machine-blown glass requires a minimum wall thickness to be sturdy enough, experienced glassblowers can go much further. The result: crystal glass that feels exceptionally thin and surprisingly light, yet retains its shape. The lip of the glass is so fine that you literally feel the wine land on your tongue, not on a thick glass rim. That may sound like a detail - but once you’ve tasted it, you won’t want to go back to an ordinary glass.
The glassblowers behind the Simplify series work with high-quality crystal glass. Each glass is hand-shaped, meaning there’s real craftsmanship and attention involved. No two glasses are exactly identical - and that’s not a flaw, that’s proof of craftsmanship.
The right glass, the right wine
Zwiesel Glas has specifically tailored the Simplify Light & Fresh to a select group of wines that benefit from a slender, fresh bowl shape. Curious which wines taste best in this? Think of:
- Riesling - Fresh, aromatic, and full of minerality: this glass lets every note speak
- Portugieser - A light red wine with low tannins that benefits from a fine bowl shape
- Elbling - One of the oldest grape varieties in the world, fresh and light, perfect for this glass
- Müller-Thurgau and Rivaner - Smooth, fruity white wines that can be served in summer
- Vernatsch and Trollinger - Northern Italian and Southern German light red wines with soft tannins
- Soave - The Italian classic with its subtle floral notes and fresh acidity
But honestly? This glass is broad enough in character to also do justice to other fresh, light wines. It’s not dogma - it’s a starting point for your own discoveries.
Stylish table enjoyment without hassle
A good wine glass doesn’t need to be treated with kid gloves as if it’s a museum piece. The Simplify glasses from Zwiesel Glas are dishwasher safe - even though they are mouth-blown and exceptionally thin. That’s no coincidence: Zwiesel Glas is known for the durability of its crystal glass, which is resistant to wear from regular washing. Just use the glass programme of your dishwasher and secure the glasses firmly in the rack, and you’ll enjoy them for years to come.
The combination of craftsmanship and practical convenience makes these glasses ideal for anyone who loves beautiful tableware without the stress every time. Serve, enjoy, and simply put them in the dishwasher. That’s how it should be.
💡 Cookinglife Tip: Let your wine come to temperature before pouring. A fresh Riesling is best served between 8 and 10 degrees - take the bottle out of the fridge half an hour before serving. In this glass, you’ll notice the difference immediately: the aromas open up better and the fresh, acidic notes come into their own.
