Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Glass Stemware Diva Collection Bordeaux, 20-Ounce, Set of 6

Innovative Glass – Great Buy

We ordered these for our last New Year’s Eve party and I could not be happier. I am one of those people who get sweaty hands just thinking of delicate glass products such as expensive wine and champagne glasses – I remember using the Rosenthal wine glasses we received for our wedding for the first time and pretty much immediately breaking one because it slightly hit the side of the sink while I rinsed it.

Introduce the Schott Zwiesel Tritan – THE solution for klutzes like me! Accidentally hit the glass on the sink – the glass remains intact, put it in the dishwasher – it comes out unharmed. Wow. You can even bang two glasses together ‘relatively’ hard (think guests that have had one or two too many and cannot judge their strength that well anymore ) and nothing happens! Wow.

As to the style, I really like the simple, no frills shape of the Diva collection as I am not one for etchings or crystal cuts, etc. These go with any style and that makes them even more…

Love my glasses!

I purchased these glasses in Germany while vacationing and have had a hard time finding replacments and finally I found these on Amazon.com for a very good price! At other well known retailers, I’ve priced them for $79 and up for one glass! These are the same brand but from a new collection so they are about 1/2 mm shorter than mine (not noticeable). There are a few inconsistencies with the seams on the stems (my original ones from Germany do not have any noticable seams on the stems). I can live with the minor imperfections for this price as these glasses are fabulous for drinking and tasting red wines. They are durable and have been in the dishwasher although I typically wash them by hand. I don’t test their resiliency on purpose but have dropped them onthe counter and in the sink. The one that I sought to replace didn’t win out over the ceramic floor sadly to say. Good news, on amazon.com I replaced the one glass and got five extra for the price of 1 glass at Nordstroms!

Just elegant

A friend once made me aware of these wine glasses. She said that she loved the glass and especially the stem. And that is true, the form is strikingly elegant and the stem is a little bit thicker in the middle. Just beautiful and elegant. And it works with all nice china, especially bone china. The price for this Tritan crystal glass is surprisingly good and they are holding up very well. No breakage so far.

We have also the White Wine Fortessa Diva Tritan Crystal 10.1 Oz White Wine Glass, the Wine/Water Schott Zwiesel Tritan Crystal Glass Stemware Diva Collection Goblet/Wine/Water, Set of 6 and the Champagne GlassTritan Diva 7.4 Oz Flute Champagne Glass (Set of 6)
