What I love is that Zalto glasses are the thinnest and most delicate glasses I have come across, yet seem springy and almost elastic in the hand... Best of all, the manufacturers say they are best washed in a regular dishwasher. ......they are cheaper than many of Riedel's top models and would give any serious wine lover a real thrill over the closeness of contact they offer.

If you’re looking for glasses and your budget tiptoes into hand-blown territory, though, these are, truly, the best I’ve ever used. ANDREW JEFFORD
