You can trust my review, bad or good is your choice and i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

I started off with the cabernet glasses and was so happy with them I ended up getting the champagne, sauvignon blanc, whiskey and martini glasses as well. In my advanced age of 37, I have developed this silly idea my glassware should match for some reason. Sigh, this can't portend well. Anyway, I am liable to gush about these things if I don't watch myself. So in the interest of keeping my decorum around friends and family while using these glasses, I thought I would get a few things off my chest here.

So from what I have read, technically only leaded crystal can be defined as crystal, everything else is just glass with various compounds (like lead in the case with crystal) added to it to change its characteristics. Adding lead to glass makes it softer which allows it to be cut more easily. It also makes it clearer and adds heft to the glass. Blown crystal glassware also tends to have a thinner section at the mouth of the glass compared to that of standard soda glass. Once you develop an appreciation for the characteristics of crystal, it is hard to go back to just plain glassware.

But this Tritan stuff is not "crystal". My understanding, which could be wrong, is that instead of lead it uses titanium as the compound of choice to modify the glass. This gives the glassware the basic characteristics of leaded crystal, but makes it a bit more durable and a bit less heavy. Riedels, which are leaded crystal and quite nice I might add, unfortunately have a tendency to break on you if you look at them crosswise. With these Tritan glasses, you don't have to worry so much about them breaking on you, which allows you to use them as everyday glassware as well as a special occasion glassware. I like that. Life is too short to use inferior glassware.

What I like most about this glassware though, is its form and balance. The glassware is just pleasant to hold and drink from. However, there are a few quibbles I have that I feel I must divulge:

The glass is machine blown/made. As a result, one can feel a small seam on the stems of some of the glassware. It isn't a big seam, like one would have on a normal glass, but it is there. However, it isn't a big enough issue that I would not wholeheartedly recommend this glassware to others. Plus, there is always a few glasses out of the box that will have their seams minor and smooth enough that it isn't an issue at all.

The champagne glasses seem to be a slight bit thicker and more clunky than the other glasses. Some of the champagne glasses were not perfectly symmetric either, and would have a very slight wobble when rotated. All the other glasses with stems are symmetric to my naked eye, so I don't know why the champagne glasses would be different. Maybe I just got a bad batch. Still not a big enough deal that I wouldn't recommend them.

The martini glasses are a bit on the large size. More in the size category of a margarita glass, not small like a champagne coup. This is a bit bigger than I would prefer for cocktail glasses. My standard martini recipe which consists of 1 oz. of vermouth to 2 oz. of gin, when properly stirred, still only goes up to the bend in the glass. On the other hand, for my pisco sour recipe, the glass allows room for up to an half inch of foam. All in all, it comes out a wash, but if you like your cocktail glasses on the small side, it might be best to look elsewhere.

As for the whiskey, cabernet and sauvignon glasses, they are great, no issues. The whiskey glasses have the basic proportions of a small brandy snifter with a bit wider mouth, which works well enough for those occasions for when you just want to drink whiskey and not nose the hell out of it.

All in all, I can most enthusiastically recommend these glasses to others who want to consolidate their glassware to one theme of grace and beauty.

Schott Zwiesel- The World's Best Crystal Glass

Schott Zwiesel (a brand of Zwiesel Kristallglas, AG) has a 130 year history of innovation and success, including such break through developments as the first machine made stemware and the first lead-free crystal glass. With the introduction of the proprietary Tritan Crystal technique (the result of special compositions such as titanium with a unique tempering process) Zwiesel has once again revolutionized the industry. Rigorous laboratory testing proves the brilliance, dishwasher safety, and break resistance of Tritan. We invite you to discover why we call our product "The World's Best Crystal Glass" and why it is the choice of the finest restaurants, resorts, and sommeliers worldwide.

From Fortessa, the leading designer of formal and casually elegant tableware.

Schott Zwiesel

Dishwasher-safe, Durable Composition

Schott Zwiesel's process tempers each of the zones of stemware that are most prone to breakage: the rim, the junction of the bowl and stem, and the junction of the foot and stem. The added strength of the Tritan composition along these zones renders the stemware chip and break-resistant and allows the pieces to stand up to the abuse of daily use.

The highly durable composition also gives Tritan glassware the ability to withstand extensive dishwashing without etching, discoloring or clouding the material. Independent, long-term testing has proven our new crystal glass shines through 3,000 dishwasher cycles without damage, blemish or any loss of brilliance.

Designed with Better Taste in Mind

Schott Zwiesel creates Tritan Crystal Glass with aesthetic beauty in mind, but also with purpose.Each piece provides total balance by proportionately engineering the height, width, weight, and capacity of the glass. The proper pour capacity is measured in each wine glass at the bowl's widest point. This leaves the correct distance between the wine and the stemware's rim, which allows the glass to be turned sideways and experience characteristics of each wine varietal's bouquet at maximum potential.

Additionally, the laser-cut rim of each piece creates a smooth path for wine to travel into one's palate.
When the stemware is tipped back, the straight rim directs wine to spill at the appropriate section of the palate where a high concentration of taste buds can catch and savor each and every flavor of the wine. Laser-etched effervescent points in champagne flutes, which direct a cascade of bubbles to the center of the flute provide a longer lasting effervescence to champagnes and sparkling wines- a once hidden detail only experienced by much more expensive crystal.

A "Sense-ationally" Detailed Experience

Stimulate all four senses, sight, taste, smell and touch through unmatched details found in Tritan Crystal Glass. Firm and secure in the hand, Tritan's remarkable strength is matched by uncompromised aesthetic quality and a unique visual flair. With versatile designs, whether it's Classic, Traditional, Modern, or Dramatic, Tritan has a style to complement any personal style. Using laser cutting and etching technology, Schott Zwiesel also aims to maximize enjoyment of a drink's flavor and fragrance. Finally, experience also the fifth sense, the distinct ringing sound of high quality crystal glasses along with the fine, smooth polished rims, and seamless stems.

Environmental Consciousness

Schott Zwiesel protects the natural environment by conserving resources and making optimal use of energy in the manufacture of our products. The patented Tritan crystal glass collections are lead and barium free, created with only natural materials and designed for functional use and long-lasting brilliance.
