ZALTO

Zalto is an Austrian glassware company renowned for its ultra-fine, hand-blown crystal wine glasses, which have become a benchmark in the wine world for their elegance, lightness, and ability to enhance a wine’s aroma and texture.

The brand’s signature line, Zalto Denk’Art, is made in the traditional mouth-blown style, with each glass crafted without the use of lead and designed to be both delicate and surprisingly durable. These glasses are exceptionally thin—often weighing under 100 grams—yet remain dishwasher safe.

What sets Zalto apart is the meticulous design: each bowl shape is tailored to specific wine styles (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Universal, etc.), with proportions based on the tilt angles of the Earth (24°, 48°, and 72°) that the company claims aid in optimizing aromas and taste perception. Professionals and enthusiasts alike prize Zalto glasses for delivering clarity, precision, and an almost weightless sensation in the hand, making them a frequent sight in top restaurants and wineries worldwide.
