I just recently bought some of those Gabriel Glass stand art glasses, so I'm happy to see they did well.

Just bought the Riedel Performance Riesling and tested against my Zalto Universal with a stunning 2020 Kobayashi Sans Sulfre Syrah (Washington state, USA). The Riedel was definitely my preference between the two. Thank you for sharing the love of wine without pretense!

It's amazing to see how Zalto was praised for years as THE glass to have. They're great glasses overall that are beautiful and feel great in the hand, but having done similar tests as you I found the Riedel Performance to outperform the Zalto almost every time. I was tasting some Gruner with Bernhard Ott in Wagram back in 2018, and the whole tasting was with a Zalto Universal, as that's all they used in the tasting room. He had just gotten a few tester Riedel Performance glasses so we did a comparison versus the Zalto. It was the first time I was blown away by how much of a difference a glass could make. And your description for the Zalto being 'hollow' was exactly what we felt. Bernhard looked at me in shock and said he needed to change all of the glasses in the tasting room after that, hahaha! I had worked with Zaltos only since 2013, but this one tasting helped me to be more open minded towards everything else out there. And thanks for doing a universal test! Great content, as always.

I've been drinking out of Grassl Glass, a newer company, mostly these days. I use their "Cru" glass, which is their wide bowl Pinot Noir glass for most reds. It's similar in proportion to the Zalto Burgundy glass, but significantly smaller. It performs nicely with most varietals/styles, though it's obviously not a great white glass, outside of rich, oaky, concentrated whites. They also have a glass called Liberté which is similar to the Gabriel, but a little taller and a slightly smaller diameter rim. It performs very nicely with anything you put in it, including sparkling!

I ended up buying the Gabriel Glas StandArt for my wife's Christmas gift this year. Debated for days on whether or not to upgrade to their hand-blown glasses (and many other hand-blown brands) but I know if she uses them they will eventually get broken, or else sit unused on the shelf for fear she would break them. At a comparable price I did consider the Riedel Veritas riesling and sauvignon glasses as both "universal" types, but they are pretty plain looking while the Gabriels are much prettier. Speaking of pretty, I absolutely love the look of the two burgundy style glasses from Sydonios, "le Subtil" and "Le Septentrional", very elegant!

The ISO glass has its uses. I tend to use it for akevitt, and the smaller shape is not such an impediment for that usage. Thank you kindly for your channel. I recently discovered it, and it's been very enjoyable.

Great videos, we’re both really hooked! Immediately got all our different glasses out and tried. However, it was quite easy to tell some of the glasses apart just by the feel of the swirl. Would be extra interesting to see a “double blind study”, where your wife also holds the glass and it’s not touching the face (above the lips/nose tip). And also being tasted this way. We’re definitely going to be more attentive to our choice of glass from now on, and it clearly motivates purchasing more beautiful glasses :) Thanks for a lot of fun and useful videos!

Nice review. For me SCHOTT ZWIESEL Pure 0,408. I like it because it is great for white wines and for the first taste of red wine is good because it gives a lot of concentration.

Interesting! I also prefer a rather narrow Champagne flute for Riesling; mine is slightly narrower than yours, but close. Given that it did well w/ Pinot as well, I'll give the Reidel Performance Riesling glass a long look.

This video was helpful for selecting.

We only use the machine made Gabriel Glass since some years now for red and white wine. They are not too expensive and I like the shape of it.

Although I should admit that Zalto universal glass is beautiful and elegant, I bought Riedel performance riesling for a universal purpose to cover all white and red wines. I really really thank you for the valuable comment!

Lovely vid. I was lucky enough to find a set of 4 riedel glasses at a thrift shop for 4$ the other day

Riedel released in 2022 the glass Wine Friendly 002, which is extremely similair to Performance Riesling but a third of the price. Would be nice to see a test of that one.

Zalto universal is my fave but I also like Gabriel. It seems there is a thicker stemmed "restaurant" version of the Gabriel though and a nicer thinner stemmed version - so check that before purchasing!

Very interesting tasting result. The Gabriel glas looks exactly like my preferred wine tasting glas. I actually got them labelled CM (Castel Miquel) as a present by the owner of the company I work for and wonder if it is actually a relabeled version of the Gabriel glas or comes out of the same mould. Weight and look is nearly identical. Anyways, I really think this is a strong performer as a universal glas due to the shape. Might try the Riedels in the future for comparison purposes.

A great thank you from homeland Germany! Everyday wine drinkers my wife and I are - and still in search of a reasonably priced glass for probably every possible use without too many downpoints. Have tried several brands for several wines and accumulated a selection of sometimes dysfunctional tableware. After another deep consideration Riedel Veritas Champagne won our hearts - sold for less than 18 € a piece in May 2023 fright included. Tested it with our "standard wines" to unlock, if there are differences to be discovered. There ARE. Young wines like our favorite Riesling were rather acidic on the first nose, even a Chateau Citron 2019 (our "noodle-wine" to go with tomato sauce) was scaringly sour when freshly poured. The Riesling (2022 "Liter-Riesling" from Palatinate for a staggering 3,60 €/Ltr) took five minutes to open up and develop a much deeper fruitiness on the palette which lasted for more than a quarter of an hour. Then the glass was empty. The Bordeaux took a while longer to free its aromas but then an intense and round flavor evolved. Champagn eneeds to be tried still - but it is without doubt a very good glass to lift a wine's aromas. A bit difficult to clean due to very thin glass and small opening - but some risks have to be taken!

Have the Gabriel….use it to drink and do my tastings…. But that Reidel champagne looks very interesting too…..

Great video! I recently bought a set of Gabriel glasses - very pleased with them. The other two I use are the Riedel performance riesling and the Riedel performance pinot noir. I feel that between those three most bases are covered. I feel like the riedel performance riesling, whilst good for reds and whites, is a bit awkward (too big) for fortified and dessert wines, but these types of wine do well in the Gabriel glas.

Just discovered the channel. I'm impressed with the amount of information you put into the top-notch tastings especially. Keep it up! How long are the raw recordings for a video like this? In other words, what's the ratio between cut and uncut footage? As for the stemware, I'm one of those guys who thinks it's hugely overestimated as long as it's decent. I've also made some glass comparisons, albeit not as extensive. IMO it's plain impossible to objectively compare glass performance as there are too many parameters that can't be isolated. My current verdict is, there are some minuscule differences in smell, but only relevant if you rush over it. I'm open to correct myself if the situation arises. So for me it comes down to a 'good enough' universal glass, not least due to space issues. It just so happened I chose Gabriel (both Gold and StandArt) and I'm fine with them.

I did the Riedel "glass tasting" seminar conducted by Georg Riedel himself personally. Amazing!! But by now, he must have at least a dozen glasses, of all different shapes, sizes, rim diameters, volumes, fluted, non fluted, flat bottomed, curved bottomed, hand blown, machine made, with stems, without stems ... the list goes on; yet that somehow magically are all perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon!! And I did the same "glass tasting" with another presenter, this time with Spieglau glasses, after Riedel bought Spieglau. Suddenly it seems, after the purchase, the Spieglau glasses performed just as well as the Riedels, when before they were just mediocre. And strangely enough, Riedel's Coca Cola glass is the same shape as a Coke bottle. Seems to me there's a credibility issue here.

It's of course no 20-30€ wine but it's pretty good most of the time.

If anyone is looking for some cheaper options from Riedel, they have finally released a so-called All Purpose glass, which I think is in certain markets in the Bar Range.

Good question!

A question came up m mind when I saw the ISO glass: What is our opinion on the often rather small sweet wine glasses? I know that these glasses are smaller because if you pour lets say sherry to the widest part of the glass into a normal glass you will be drunk soon because of the higher alcohol level sherry has but apart from that sherry, madeira, port and so on usually smell really intense. So to make it simple: Which glass do you use to drink your sherry? Think I was also one of those who already said, that he like the Gabriel Glass best but I am not sure about this, so my favouriter glass is the Gabriel Glass.

@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine

Still searching for a universal glass. I use the Riedel Veritas Syrah for a Lots of wines. Kind of similar shaped as the veritas Champagne glass. maybe slightly langer, but seems to work good for bolder White wines and all the Languedoc, Rhone, Chianti, Barbera, Tempranillo valpolicella stuff.

If it is the "Riedel Veritas Old World Syrah 6449/41" then i am on completely the same page as you :) And also think it looks like the Veritas Champagne is a slighly smaller version of the old world syrah.

You are not the only one. Does it work for light white wines too?

Of course you can drink lichter whites out of it, but i would still go for the Riesling glass. But I actually use it more for Red wines than my Bordeaux glasses, which are usually sold as standard red wine glasses. And with the popularity of GSM blends and Chianti etc, I daresay I wouldn't be the only one for whom this is true.

My universal glass is the Contorno Sensory glass.

I like the champagne glass. I can't remember which iconic bordeaux maker said he preferred a smaller glass.

I would have loved to see the wine wings by riedel

Yes, I have them too but I could not use another Riedel Glass in this tasting.

I would love to see a Grenache in 10!

Good idea.

Would you still recommend the Riedel Veritas Champagne glass as a good universal? I personally have been using Gabriel Glass for years and love them, but they are so fragile my wife and I always break them.

Yes, I would.

Würde es zum Glastest Sinn machen, einen durchschnittlichen Wein der über die Jahre möglichst gleich schmeckt, zu probieren? Vielleicht sogar eine synthetische Testflüssigkeit? Unterschiedlich zusammengesetzte Weine verhalten sich bestimmt auch unterschiedlich im Glas. Zudem nimmst du als Referenz ja einen Eindruck zur Hand, der sich aus einer willkürlichen Kombination von Glas und Wein ergibt. Gibt es in der Weinwelt Benchmarks á la "Der Apfelsaft von Edeka aus dem Riedelglas duftet bei 12° knackig", an denen man sich hier orientieren könnte? Ist es überhaupt zielführend Wein auf diese Art zu denken? Mich würde interessieren, wie du hierrüber denkst.

Ich glaube nicht, dass das helfen würde. Ich verwende ja einen Wein aus einer Flasche. Von daher die Testflüssigkeit identisch für alle Weine. Es ist aber definitiv so, dass andere Weine evtl. zu anderen Ergebnissen geführt hätten.

I just bought the new Reidel performance you reviewed in this video - right after watching your review. In general, I’ve found your videos are very instructive (seen a few now). Question: I wonder if there are any noticeable differences between the performance glass, and the Pinot noir glass beyond the optics of the Pinot noir glass?
