Wine Glasses, Decanters etc

Looking to buy a new decanter. Does anyone have recommendations and prices?

Not looking to overindulge - rather spend more money on wine

Just use a bowl and spend the money on more wine.

Harris Farm milk jugs are perfect, otherwise we also have a couple of plumm decanters.

I have picked up a Riedel Performance Decanter for ~$48, twice (I broke my first one!) from Peter's of Kensington. It's used a lot more than my $$$$ Riedel Curly as it's much easier to clean...

The performance decanter is very thin in comparison to the Curly, but that's not the reason I broke it

I love my Krosno. Use it almost every days (yes, that is bad... )

I have one of those, much easier to handle than a standard lead crystal type which needs a very strong wrist to use.

I have an old school traditional shaped one however I was eyeing this one after I saw it at a cellar door I visited in Mudgee.

I have this one but smaller (for half bottle). I just broke it in this month. now I bought this oil pourer instead of.




The U shape decanter is good, but just hard to clean, it has to be clean in dish washer.
I also have this one 1.5L. It is bad in design, the wine pour out in a big angle, it is impossible to pour the wine when the wine glass standing on the table.

Or you don't need a decanter at all. I just start to use decanter in recent 2 years. I will prefer breathing wine in the original bottle most of the time.

Are you in a hurry? I'm guessing <edited: finewineco > will be having a Plumm sale before end of FY, I got a good one for 70% off last year (still in a box though, haven't yet organized the post - Covid dinner parties)

Cellardoor.co sell Plumm?

Wines glasses matter, science says so. - Word on the Grapevine

We've all experienced it, the inevitable barrage of questioning, jovial taunting and understandable confusion upon the expression of revulsion, frustration and dismay toward the choice, or offering, of wine glassware. It's easy to see how to many this seemingly strange aversion may appear pomp...

Glassware Virtuoso Kurt Zalto Has Quietly Released His Masterpiece Wine Glass

Famed glassware designer Kurtis Zalto was pushed out of the namesake company. Now, he’s back, with new designs, a new company, and a story to tell.

Anybody know any well priced specials/deals on stemware at present? I missed out on the flurry last month and hoping to pick up a twin pack of ideally Gabriel's or similar. Thanks in advance.

if you're in MEL and don't mind them being branded, then Brunswick East Wine Store have Gabriel-Glas for $28 a pair - that's $14 each

We also considered Grassl, but pricing here doesn't make it competitive.

Interesting, if rather depressing, Zalto story, qaz.
Thanks for posting.

I missed the post, interesting reading and looks like I need some new stems though they look a bit weird to me. Accidentally dropped my first Universal in the sink when doing a quick rinse.

I've also noticed comparing my Zaltos from many years ago that the new ones are marginally thicker, wonder if that has to do with the change in owners/profit focus.

What “vintages” were your glasses?

I can't seem to find my invoice but probably circa 2016~

The early ones were around 2016? And the later ones were?
(Edit: I would be impressed if you COULD find your invoices! )

Recent ones were in the past year.

I was intrigued enough I was going to post on instagram as reference and weighed them - the weight was similar, but you can noticeably see and feel the difference in the stem (bowls seem the same).

Here's my first Zalto but from 2015!

That’s interesting. While using one of my (many) Zalto glasses recently, i had an almost subliminal feeling that the stem was a little thicker.

Not all of mine were bought at the same time, so it could be that my experience mirrors yours.

Will check ...... sometime!

The price comparison between 2015 and now is remarkable!
