While the quality of Schott Zwiesel is often said to be quite high, we found very slight variations in the roundness of the top rims across multiple copies of the glass. However, some discerning tasters will likely prefer to own multiple types of glassware so that they can choose based on their intention, rather than using a one-size-fits-all glass such as this. There's nothing wrong with creating a balanced option which falls in between some of the more specialized glassware options. The deeper bulb is a great excuse to pour a bit more than you might in shallower glassware. The stem height and base diameter provide a stable foundation and comfortable grip for swirling, tilting, and sipping. The shape and dimensions of this glass offer a balanced option that fits between a focused nosing glass such as the classic Glencairn and a more casual sipping vessel such as a stemless wine glass. With a slightly wider sipping rim and slightly narrower liquid surface area, this glass offers a great option for a less-defined or more casual drinking experience than the more focused nosing glassware, while still offering the opportunity to enjoy a spirit's nose and flavor.
