Why this wine glasse earns its place
Schott Zwiesel's Classico range represents the intersection of elegance and durability. The Classico red wine glass takes the classic sommelier bowl — wider, rounder, designed to aerate the wine and deliver it to the centre of the palate — and pairs it with a reinforced stem and taller proportions that read formality and care. This is glassware that says "wine matters" without needing to say anything at all.
At 408ml, the capacity is generous enough to show off a proper pour. The 225mm height is notably taller than shorter wine glass formats, creating vertical elegance on the table and keeping the bowl well above hand level. The 82mm diameter bowl is wide enough to swirl without spilling, narrow enough not to look oversized on a formal place setting. Every dimension follows from function, not fashion — function dressed in crystal clarity and the weight that says "real glassware".
The strength comes through in the stem: reinforced to survive hundreds of dishwash cycles, the thermal shock of commercial service, and the handling demands of a busy dining room. You're not replacing glassware mid-week. You're serving wine in the same glass all season.
