Suggest a Burg glass

I need another dozen Burg glasses to add to my Riedel Vinum (17 left) which are not all that dishwasher friendly. Life is too short for me to bother washing glasses by hand. While Zalto may be the best; I’d prefer a combination of: durable, shaped well (I use for both white & red Burgs) and affordably priced, to be used for dinner parties.

Suggestions please?

I use Schott Zweisel. Looks good, relatively durable (I just broke one last weekend, hand washing it, grr) and about $7-8 per. Done. End of thread. :wink:

I just got this glass. Seems pretty great as I am using it right now…

I also love this one…

These are good for groups…

All of these are well made and perfect for your needs. I own them all and in this order are my preference.

schott zwiesel forte burgundy “Claret” size. it’s a bit bigger than their normal forte line.
cheap and sturdy.
or crate and barrel zalto clone for $6

Is it just me or do Spiegelau Hybrids look like Zaltos?

They do and they are pretty awesome.

The Schotts are nice and sturdy but I am also a fan of the Riedel line they sell at Target.

Much more durable than the Vinum line and with a slightly more elegant shape than the Schotts IMO, albeit thicker glass. Unfortunately they appear to have discontinued the model with the flaired lip that echoed the Riedel Sommelier Burgundy shape.

Pretty cheap here. I would buy a few cases if I didn’t have so many glasses already.

Great price. I paid $25 per 2. Got 4

Even the larger Schott Claret glass seems a little to small for me, I prefer my old Spiegelau burg glasses.

I got a kick out of the Spiegelau-Hybrid as presented on Amazon: “The class of glass”. Would someone please fill me in on those flared Burgundy stemware? I think the flare ruins the nose.

Restaurant series Reidel Burg glasses. Same shape as the vinum, non-leaded glass, go in the dishwasher. 7-8$ a stem if I remember. I think they are also coming out with a flared lip Oregon pinot glass in the same series next month or so.

Thanks for the many excellent suggestions. Now to make a decision.

This glass…kills

I used it 2 minutes and ordered another. $20 on Ebay, free ship.
‘Kills’ is quite accurate.

Big +1 on these glasses. Durable, attractive, no lead (titanium), fairly priced.

I like these from Schott Zweisel. Amazon.com

I try to remove the glass type variable so this is the only glass I use for all wines. It’s a bit intense over 15% but otherwise it helps me isolate the aromas well.
