The Zalto Spittoon 250 Green is one of the most elegant and design-forward tasting accessories available for serious wine enthusiasts, sommeliers and professional tasting environments. Hand-blown in Austria from lead-free crystal, the large-format 250 model is designed as the stationary companion to the smaller handheld Spittoon 50, allowing discreet and refined wine service during tastings. The deep emerald green colour gives the piece a sculptural presence on the table while still remaining highly functional. Zalto specifically created the spittoon range to eliminate the visual clash between fine stemware and unattractive traditional spit buckets.
With a generous capacity of approximately 2600ml and a height of 210mm, the Spittoon 250 is large enough for extended professional tastings while remaining surprisingly graceful in form. The angular geometry is designed to minimise splashback during use, and many collectors also use it as a decorative centrepiece or sculptural vessel when not in service. Like the rest of the Zalto Denk’Art range, the piece is mouth-blown by master Austrian glassblowers and produced according to Zalto’s signature philosophy around balance, lightness and precision.
Although technically dishwasher safe, several specialist retailers recommend careful handwashing to preserve the coloured crystal finish over time. The Spittoon 250 pairs especially well with Zalto stemware and the smaller Spittoon 50 Green, creating one of the most refined tasting setups available for collectors and professionals alike.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The Zalto Spittoon 250 Green is a superb luxury wine accessory — practical, beautifully crafted and visually striking. Ideal for serious tastings, cellar dinners, wine events or collectors who appreciate elegant wine service. One of the few tasting accessories that genuinely enhances the table aesthetically as much as functionally.
