Schott Zwiesel Set of 4 Fortissimo Red - #1 (505ml)

Zwiesel crystal is durable for its refinement, but no fine glass is impact-proof. Keep pieces separated in the washer and in storage, avoid sudden temperature change and support the bowl when polishing stemware. Current Zwiesel catalogue dimensions are H 258 × Ø 88 mm; confirm glasswasher rack and shelf clearance where fit is critical.

Use this glass for wine styles that suit its particular bowl profile. Match the bowl to aroma and structure before capacity alone: broad bowls favour aromatic reds, taller bowls focus structured wines, and controlled bowls help fresh whites retain lift. Allow headspace for swirling, then confirm rack height, table footprint and the pour size your venue uses.

About Zwiesel: Founded in 1872 in Germany's Bavarian Forest, Zwiesel is a specialist glassmaker whose ranges span dependable professional service and exceptionally fine handmade stemware. Its TRITAN crystal glass is lead- and barium-free and engineered for brilliance, dishwasher resistance and improved break resistance. The collection structure matters: Banquet, Ivento and Mondial are practical hospitality foundations; Belfesta and Vina offer broader coordinated programmes; Bar Special and Beer Selection use purpose-built drink shapes; Sensa makes wine matching intuitive through flavour profiles; Fusion blends machine and hand production; Vuelo pushes machine-made glass towards a featherlight feel; and Air Sense, Enoteca, Highness and Simplify deliver the greatest handmade refinement. Choose the range by the drinks served, the pace of handling and the level of ceremony—not by capacity alone.
